...Another Cool November Day...

Temperatures across Alabama will remain well below normal again today as a
cool northerly flow continues across the state. On the maps, a deep upper
air low has formed near Jacksonville, Florida, and will drift slowly
northward through mid-week. This system will bring wet and windy weather to
the Carolinas and parts of eastern Georgia, but the rain shield from the
storm should remain well to the east of Alabama. In fact, most of the state
should enjoy bright sunshine today with very dry air in place. Any clouds
should be over the far eastern section of the state, near the Georgia
border. The high today will be in the mid 50s, in the 52 to 56 degree range.

BIG TRAVEL DAY: Tomorrow is the busiest travel day of the year according to
those who know about such things, and generally speaking the weather looks
nice and quiet for much of the nation. Most of the rain tomorrow will be out
west, along the Pacific Northwest coast, where some communities have endured
their wettest November on record. There will also be some rain over the
Carolinas due to the system just off the Atlantic coast. But, a majority of
the nation will be rain-free, and no major airport delays are anticipated.
Here in Alabama, we expect lots of sunshine tomorrow with a high around 60
degrees.

A great day for a drive over the river and through the woods to
grandmother's house for Thanksgiving.

TURKEY DAY: Thursday looks delightful. Lots of sunshine, and the warming
trend continues. We should rise well into the 60s during the day, and some
parts of West Alabama might even flirt with 70 degrees after a chilly start
in the upper 30s.

At this point it looks like our weather will remain dry Friday, and over the
upcoming weekend. A good chance we reach the low 70s on Friday, but
temperatures will cool off a bit by Saturday and Sunday.

NEXT HIGH IMPACT EVENT: For now it looks like our next major storm system is
about 9 to 10 days away, right at the end of November and the beginning of
December. Impossible to nail down details this far in advance, but some
computer models have hinted that some heavy rain might be possible, followed
by a sharp change to colder weather. Maybe some risk of a changeover to snow
before it all ends. But, that is nothing more than voodoo right now since
there isn't much skill in a specific weather forecast beyond seven days. All
we can do for now is say "stay tuned".

HODGEPODGE: A tornado hit the Camp Schwab U.S. military base in Okinawa this
past weekend, injuring three marines, including one who was rushed to a
hospital. The storm damaged 19 cars parked at the base, overturning four in
a parking lot. Bitter cold weather continues over much of Alaska; the
coldest spot yesterday was Bettles with 32 degrees below zero. Hottest place
in the nation yesterday was Woodland Hills, CA with a toasty 94 degrees.

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!
