An all new edition of the ABC 33/40 Weather Xtreme video is available in the player below, and on iTunes…
Still no sign of any decent rain event here for the next 10 days… a dry cold front today will bring some scattered clouds and gusty winds, but no moisture means no significant rain. A fresh supply of cool and dry air drops in here tonight and tomorrow; for tomorrow and the weekend it looks like a case of severe clear, with highs in the 67 to 71 degree range, and early morning lows between 38 and 43. Some of the colder valleys might see some frost.
NEXT WEEK AND BEYOND: Another dry cold front rolls in here on Tuesday of next week… with more cold air to follow. The latest GFS MOS shows a high of 60 and a low of 40 by Wednesday…. it could be colder than that. I think everyone goes in the 30s by Thursday morning, with widespread frost and the chance of a freeze for the colder valleys. But, once again, no rain all week as this long dry spell continues.
VOODOO COUNTRY: Check out the Weather Xtreme video for all the graphics, but the GFS still brings in our next rain event now on November 11 with a cold front and upper trough. Then, on November 14, a super duper upper trough is advertised, with very cold air involved and a chance of snow flurries for North Alabama. Sure, this is voodoo, but I think the big message here is that November will be colder than normal for the Deep South. We sure deserve it after such a hot summer.
STORM ALERT XTREME: We hope to see you on Saturday, November 10 at the BJCC for our annual severe storm training session. Once again this year, the Alabama International Auto Show is a sponsor of Storm Alert XTREME, and it will be held at the BJCC. This is your chance to learn more about Alabama weather, and to be trained as a storm spotter. ABC 33/40 Meteorologist Brian Peters, long time WCM (Warning Coordination Meteorologist) for the National Weather Service in Birmingham, will teach a basic and advanced course on spotting small scale features within thunderstorms that are very important to meteorologists. Read more about Storm Alert XTREME here.
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.
WEATHER PARTY: Get all the latest weather news over on our sister site, WeatherParty.com. Be sure and register while you are there; you can submit stories and vote on them to determine what is published on the front page. This is a great way to find the latest weather-related news stories.
Another road trip today… I am headed to Tuscaloosa to speak at the Exchange Club at midday. Then, it is back to the office and the afternoon Weather Xtreme video should be posted by 3:30 or so. Enjoy the day!
