...Weather Changes Ahead...

We will squeeze in one more dry and mild day before wet weather returns to Alabama. Temperatures today should rise into the low 70s, about ten degrees above normal for mid-November, with a decent amount of sunshine through scattered clouds. Clouds will thicken tonight, and we will bring in the chance of showers tomorrow as a weather disturbance approaches from the west.

THE WEEKEND: Unfortunately we will have to maintain the chance of showers and possibly a thunderstorm on Saturday and Sunday as a pool of deeper moisture sits on top of us. There will be some good breaks in the rain, but a shower is possible at almost any time on both days. Temperatures will remain mild.

For the Iron Bowl in Tuscaloosa on Saturday, showers are possible during the game with temperatures falling from near 70 at kickoff into the mid 60s by the end of the game.

NEXT WEEK: A major storm system is forecast to move in here by Tuesday with a chance of strong thunderstorms. Then, colder and drier air will flow in here just in time for Thanksgiving Day on Thursday.

WET TEXAS: Serious flooding was reported over much of central and east Texas yesterday. In Waco, 2.75” of rain was measured, bringing the total for 2004 to 54.57”. That makes 2004 the second wettest year on record in Waco.

LONG GROWING SEASON: The last freeze in Birmingham came on March 22 when the mercury dropped to 30 degrees, so our growing season is now at 239 days, and counting since we do not expect any freezing temperatures through early next week. The average date of the first freeze in Birmingham is November 8, so we will be at least two weeks late this year.
