...Cold Front Arrives Early Tomorrow...

Today will be the last day of this remarkable November heat wave.
Yesterday's official high in Birmingham was 84 degrees, which beat the old
record of 83 recorded in 1986. It was also within one degree of the all time
record high temperature for the month of November, 85 degrees.

A cold front will pass through here early tomorrow morning, and will bring
the chance of a few scattered showers late tonight and early tomorrow,
mainly between midnight and 6:00 a.m. Once again the main dynamics will pass
well to the north of Alabama, and rainfall amounts around here should be
light and spotty. The severe weather threat will be in the general area from
Knoxville, TN to New York City. A few isolated tornadoes will be possible in
this region this afternoon and tonight.

A COOL CHANGE: Northerly winds will bring much cooler air into Alabama
tomorrow. Despite the return of sunshine, highs will be only in the mid 60s,
and by Friday morning the mercury should dip into the upper 30s with a
chance of some frost for colder valleys and protected areas of north and
central Alabama.

THE WEEKEND: Saturday should be a sunny day with highs in the 70s. By
Sunday, moist air begins to return and a few isolated showers could show up
by the afternoon hours. Scattered showers are possible Monday of next week
as well.

BIG TIME COLD: McKinley River, Alaska dropped to 37 degrees below zero
yesterday morning. It was 34 below in Beaver, Alaska. Yakutak, Alaska has 32
inches of snow on the ground as the long Arctic winter begins to take shape.
The North Pole will not see any sunlight for another 130 days.

...November Warmth...

GOOD MORNING! On the weather maps this morning, we see a strong upper level
trough over the Great Lakes states, extending down into the southeastern
United States. At the surface, low pressure is located over Michigan, with
a cold front trailing to the southwest, about to enter Northwest Alabama.
The front will move across the area this morning. There could be a few
showers and maybe even a little thunder with activity ahead of the front,
but rainfall amounts will be light. After a cloudy start, skies should
gradually clear as winds shift around to the west and northwest behind the
front. Dewpoints will drop and lows tonight will be back in the 50s.

The big trough will head into New England, leaving a broad zonal, or west to
east flow across the southern tier of states. This will set the stage for
a nice start to the week ahead. Monday should feature near total sunshine,
with afternoon highs pushing eight degrees across the area. Tuesday should
feature partly cloudy skies, with highs again right around 80.

MIDWEEK AND BEYOND: By Wednesday, a southwesterly flow should return ahead
of another cold front. But high pressure located over the northern Gulf
Coast will try to maintain a strong hold on our weather. It will grudgingly
give enough ground to allow a few showers to break out across the area
Wednesday night into Thursday. High pressure will begin to build in by
Friday, turning our winds around to the north and setting the stage for
another nice weekend across the Deep South.

ON THIS DATE IN 2003: Unusual heat, more like summertime than mid-autumn,
covered parts of the Southeast United States. 87°F at Charleston Airport,
85°F at New Orleans, 85°F in Savannah and 77°F in Asheville, North Carolina
were just a few of the dozens of records set for the date. When the
temperature reached 80 degrees at 10 o’clock in the morning at Meridian,
Mississippi; it already established a new record for the date. The final
high temperature was 83F, which broke the old record by five degrees.
