WONDERFUL WEEKEND: If you like the weather today, you will love the weekend. Sunny mild days, clear cool nights through Sunday, with highs mostly in the 70 to 75 degree range.
FOOTBALL AND TRICK-OR-TREATERS: For the high school games that will be played tonight, great weather with temperatures falling into the 50s with little or no wind and clear weather. There may be some upper 40s if you are still out at 10:00 tonight.
SATURDAY COLLEGE FOOTBALL: Mostly clear for all of these games. Auburn will be in Oxford to play Ole Miss with an 11:30 kick off on Raycom. The temperature should peak about 75 during the game. Arkansas State will be the Alabama opponent for homecoming in Tuscaloosa kicking off at 2:00 p.m. and available on PPV only. About 73 degrees at kick off and upper 60s when you go home. UAB is in Hattiesburg for a game with Southern Mississippi in a night game. 67 at the 7:00 p.m. kick off and in the 50s in the 4th quarter.
NEXT WEEK: The 12 GFS brings a rather strong, negative tilt upper trough through here on Thursday of next week with a chance of showers and thunderstorms. At this point, moisture looks rather limited and the instability not overly impressive, but should those parameters increase in coming days we might be looking at potential for strong storms. The rain is gone by Friday, and the following weekend looks dry and cool.
WEATHER BRAINS: Don’t forget you can listen to our weekly 30 minute netcast anytime on the web, or on iTunes. This is the show all about weather featuring many familiar voices, including our meteorologists here at ABC 33/40. You can even listen here on the blog; look for the player on the top left.
TWITTER: Don’t forget, you can follow our news and weather updates from ABC 33/40 on Twitter here. And, my personal Twitter feed is here if you want to keep up with my adventures in life. Twitter is a short messaging service you can receive via the web, cell phone, or IM.
STORM ALERT XTREME: Want to be trained as a storm spotter? Want to join the ABC 33/40 Skywatcher team? Our annual training event, Storm Alert Xtreme, is coming up on Saturday November 15 at the BJCC during the annual Birmingham International Auto Show. You will be trained by the best SKYWARN trainer in the nation, our own Brian Peters (he has trained over 6,000 Alabama storm spotters over the years), and learn from one of the most brilliant weather researchers in the country, our own Dr. Tim Coleman. We encourage all of our Skywatchers to attend this every year; you simply cannot get enough training. We will begin at 9:30, and be out by 3:30. And, everyone that attends Storm Alert Xtreme gets free admission to the Alabama International Auto Show. There is no admission charge, and no need to register. Just show up, but get there early for a good seat. We had a packed house last year.
I had a great time today seeing all the kids at Iola Roberts Elementary in Pell City; be looking for them on the KIDCAM today at 5:00 on ABC 33/40 News. My next video will be posted by Monday morning at 7:00… Brian Peters will have the video updates over the weekend. Have a wonderful weekend!
