...A Wet Election Day For the Deep South...

We will begin this day with a soaking rain across Alabama as a strong upper
air system moves overhead. Additional rainfall amounts of one inch are a
good bet today; the storm total could be close to two inches for some
communities. We don't expect enough rain for any serious flooding issues
today, and severe weather isn't likely since the air in this part of the
state should be cool and stable. Any strong storms should be confined to the
southern third of the state.

The rain will begin to taper off from west to east this afternoon, but the
upper air low won't be in a big hurry to leave the region, so we will
continue to mention the chance of a few stray showers tonight and tomorrow
morning. By the afternoon hours tomorrow, any showers should be confined to
the far eastern side of Alabama. Temperatures won't change all that much
today and tomorrow because of the clouds and rain; highs will be mostly in
the low to mid 60s.

WARMER AND BRIGHTER: Thursday and Friday look very nice, with a good supply
of sunshine and unseasonably mild temperatures for November. We expect mid
70s on Thursday, and upper 70s by Friday. Some West Alabama communities will
flirt with the 80 degree mark Friday, near record levels for this time of
the year.

WEEKEND PEEK: For now, it looks like Saturday will be dry and mild, but we
will bring in a chance of showers Saturday night and Sunday as a slow moving
cold front approaches. At this time we don't expect any severe weather over
the weekend, but some thunder is not out of the question.

LONG RANGE: More questions that answers as we look out in the 7 to 15 day
time frame; but there remains a potential for a major storm to form over the
central part of the U.S. early next week (a week from now), which might have
the potential to bring some risk of strong to severe storms to parts of the
Deep South in the November 14-15 time frame. Keep in mind we are now in the
fall tornado season, so active weather this time of the year is quite the
norm.

STORM ALERT XTREME: If you want to learn more about severe weather, and
become a volunteer storm spotter, then you need to be at the BJCC for our
annual Storm Alert XTREME. We begin at the BJCC at 9:30 Saturday morning;
Brian Peters will teach both the basic and the advanced SKYWARN sessions,
and I will do a program on the all new ABC 33/40 Skywatcher program; these
are volunteers who report back to us in real time using Instant Message
technology. There is no cost, and our friends at the Birmingham Automobile
Dealers Association are also going to let everyone that attends Storm Alert
XTREME have free admission to the 2007 Alabama Inernational Auto Show, going
on this weekend at the BJCC! We will see you Saturday.
