...Chilly Start...

GOOD MORNING! There's a little frost on the pumpkin across North and
Central Alabama on this Saturday morning. Hope you remembered to crack that
window before you went to bed last night. If you did, you were greeted with
some refreshing conditions. Most locations dropped into the 30s and we will
likely see some low 30s in some of the normally colder locations. Dry air
and near total sunshine will allow temperatures to warm nicely today, with
high temperatures peaking in the upper 60s to lower 70s across the area.
Keep your sunglasses handy the next few days...

REST OF YOUR WEEKEND: On the weather maps this morning we find a large
trough of low pressure in the upper atmosphere over the Northeast U.S. The
upper level pattern over North America is split with a large cutoff low near
the California coast. This will anchor our pattern for the next few days,
hence the need for those sunglasses. A weak disturbance will slide
southeast toward the state over the weekend, but it will have little impact
on our weather.

High pressure at the surface will work its way east from Texas, setting up
shop by early in the week over the Carolinas, leading to a return southerly
flow and gradual warm up.

The next chance of rain will come for us around Friday as a cold front
approaches from the northwest. It will be accompanied by some showers as it
passes, but a stronger storm system will follow on the heels of the first
front, arriving early in the following week. Temperatures for much of the
coming week will be near normal levels.

FOOTBALL WEATHER: It is a simple football forecast this weekend, with
beautiful weather expected as Mississippi State sails into Tuscaloosa to
take on the Tide for an evening tilt. Temperatures will be around 60 at
kickoff, falling to near 50 by the fourth quarter. Winds will be light.

ON THIS DATE IN 1961: Strong Santa Ana winds in Southern California fanned
fires that burned many homes in the Brentwood and Bel Air areas.
