...No Rain For Awhile...

TRAVEL WEATHER: Many people will be packing up and hitting the roads and
airports today, considered by many in the travel industry to be the busiest
travel day of the year. The good news is that the weather, generally
speaking, is very quiet across a large percentage of the nation today. Most
major airports will not have weather related delays, and most larger cities
will enjoy a good supply of sunshine with seasonal temperatures for late
November. There are two main exceptions; wet and windy weather will continue
today along the southern half of the Atlantic coast from the southern tip of
Maryland southward to Charleston, Savannah, and Jacksonville. Heavy rain is
possible across parts of the Carolinas as a coastal storm moves only slowly
to the north. The other region with wet weather is the Pacific Northwest,
where rain will continue to fall in cities like Seattle and Portland.

THE ALABAMA STORY: Looks like we will have a string of sunny days ahead with
a gradual warming trend. We will approach the 60 degree mark this afternoon
with maximum sunshine, and tomorrow we are expecting a high in the mid to
upper 60s. Seventy degree readings are quite possible by Friday afternoon as
the warm-up continues. The dry weather will continue on Saturday and Sunday
with very comfortable daytime temperatures.

MAJOR STORM NEXT WEEK?: The longer range computer model data suggests the
potential for a major storm system toward the middle part of next week, with
some potential for strong to severe storms somewhere across the Deep South
by Tuesday night and Wednesday. Then, a sharp change to much colder weather
is likely by the end of the week.

THUNDERSNOW: Snowflakes fell in Charleston, South Carolina yesterday; the
earliest observed snow flakes on record for that city on the Atlantic coast.
Thunder and lightning was even observed with the snow; there was no
accumulation since surface temperatures remained well above freezing. Some
light snow was also reported at Savannah, Georgia. A cold core upper air low
was responsible for the unsettled, wintry weather along the south Atlantic
coast yesterday.

SOAKED: That same storm system produced these rain totals yesterday: 3.76"
at Cape Hatteras, NC, 1.76" at Wilmington, NC, 1.41" at Charleston, SC, and
1.14" at Columbia, SC

BIG TIME COLD: The mercury dropped to 40 degrees below zero yesterday
morning at Chandalar Lake, Alaska. In Bettles, Alaska, the high yesterday
was 23 below zero, following a low of 31 below zero. Bitterly cold air will
continue to cover much of Alaska and the Northwest Territories of Canada
over the next several days. The forecast high today for Fairbanks is 20
degrees below zero.

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!
