...Chilly Nights Ahead...

Alabama continues under the influence of a beautiful weather pattern
with high pressure dominating much of the country. But changes are on
the way. And those changes are going to be significant. More in a
minute…

NICE MORNING: Skies are clear across Alabama on this Sunday.
Readings started off in the middle 30s to the lower 40s in most
locations. The state's cold spot was Meridianville, with 34F. DeSoto
State Park was not far behind at 35F. Several locations hit 36.
Officially, Birmingham dropped to 41F. Highs will warm quickly into
the lower 70s again at most locations under abundant sunshine. It
will be back into the upper 30s to near 40 tonight under mostly clear
skies. Monday will be another nice day, but the party will be slowly
winding down. A few clouds will appear during the day. As high
pressure nudges far enough to the east, moisture levels will start to
increase and skies will become mostly cloudy overnight.

CHANGES AHEAD: A few showers will break out across the area Tuesday
in the moist southerly flow. Highs will still edge up to around 70
degrees. The showers will continue through the overnight hours and
increase even more on Wednesday. By Wednesday morning, a sharp cold
front will be pushing towards Alabama. Behind it, much colder air
will spill into the center of the country. Rain and thunderstorms
will become widespread on Thursday ahead of the front. Heavy rainfall
is possible, and though there will be storms, they should not be
strong. By Thursday afternoon, much colder air will be overspreading
western Tennessee and northern Mississippi. This colder air will edge
into Northwest Alabama Thursday evening. The burning question has
been: will it snow behind the front? The past few runs of the GFS
have not been as bullish on this idea, and point toward a brief
changeover to snow over the Tennessee Valley early Friday morning with
light rain or drizzle elsewhere. In any case, Friday promises to be a
miserable day with temperatures falling through the 30s, a strong
north wind and a little light precipitation. Look out for some cold
readings Friday night, when temperatures will fall well into the 20s
in most locations.

RETURNING HOME: No significant travel problems expected east of the
Rockies today. Out west, a developing system will bring adverse
weather from the mountains of California into the Pacific Northwest.
Overall, it has been a quiet holiday travel wise. Really, the only
problem has been the strong coastal low that plagued the East Coast on
Wednesday into Thanksgiving Day.

TROPICAL TROUBLE? Convection continues over the far southern
Caribbean north of Panama. This activity is associated with an upper
trough and any development would be slow. This is a climatologically
favored area for tropical cyclone development in November.

MOTORCYCLE RIDE--DECEMBER 2nd
BENEFITING THE ELDRIDGE CHILDREN'S HOME

Come join us in a fantastic motorcycle ride with a great cause!

It's the 4th Annual Eldridge Children's Home Benefit Ride. The home,
located in Eldridge just off Hwy 78 and State Hwy 13 in Northwest
Alabama, has been in operation since 1948. It houses 30 children in
all age groups; they are educated in public schools, attend local
churches and are raised within the campus in homes. The home accepts
no state or federal money and operates on donations from area churches
and individuals.

Motorcycle riders get together for a ride to benefit this home. Riders
are able to fulfill a special "Christmas Wish List" from each child
and help operate this home all year long. Riders are encouraged to
bring gift cards from any retail outlet or give a donation via check,
made payable to Eldridge Children's Home.
This home has a 501(c)3 status, so donations are tax deductible.

Weather will not be a factor--just be there for the children.
The first Saturday in December, all roads lead to Eldridge.
http://www.eldridge-toy-run.com. All donations are accepted!
