...A Brighter Weekend Ahead...

A BRIGHTER WEEKEND: The pesky upper low, that has provided cloudy,
cool, and wet weather for Alabama for the past few days, is beginning
to lift northward and weaken. As it moves away from our state, we
expect a gradual clearing process today, with some sunshine possible
by the afternoon hours. If the sun can break through the clouds, we
should rise into the mid 60s today; warmer than yesterday, but still
about 5 to 7 degrees below normal for October 26. There is still an
outside chance of a shower this morning, but rain totals are expected
to be light and spotty.

The weekend will feature sunny pleasant days and clear chilly nights.
We expect a high close to 70 degrees both tomorrow and Sunday, with
early morning lows well down in the 40s. Dry air will continue to
cover Alabama well into next week, and for now it looks like our
weather will remain rain-free through at least Wednesday. At this
time Halloween looks like a dry day with a mild afternoon.

FOOTBALL WEATHER: For the Magic City Classic at Legion Field in
Birmingham tomorrow afternoon, it should be sunshine, low humidity
with about 70 at kick off lowering to about 62 at the end of the
game. Ole Miss will be at Auburn for a late afternoon kick off.
Clear, about 68 at kick off and about 57 at the end of the game. UAB
is on the road; the Blazers take on East Carolina tomorrow afternoon
at 2:30 in Greenville, NC… the sky will be cloudy during the game and
there is a good chance of showers or thunderstorms. The kickoff
temperature will be near 73 degrees. Excellent weather for tonight's
high school games across Alabama. Around 60 at kick off, low 50s
later in the game. You might want to carry along a warm jacket.

RAIN UPDATE: Despite this week's rain, we still have a long way to go
to really make a big dent in this drought. Birmingham's rain deficit
today is 18.99". The deficiency at Anniston is 26.79", and Tuscaloosa
needs 25.51" to get back to normal for 2007.

ROAMING FAR AND WIDE: Lots of rain for the eastern third of the
nation yesterday… totals included 2.81" at Key West, FL, 2.31" at
Greensboro, NC, 2.11" at Roanoke, VA, and 1.76" at Washington, DC.
The hottest places in the nation were Imperial, CA and Yuma, AZ with
96 degrees. Temperatures are getting brutally cold across parts of
Alaska and Canada; the low yesterday morning at Arctic Village,
Alaska was a bone chilling 26 degrees below zero. Winter must be
getting close with a number like that.

PRIME TIME SPECIAL: Join us on ABC 33/40 Sunday evening at 6:00 for a
one hour prime time weather special called "Safe In The Storm". We
will cover a number of interesting weather issues, including tornado
safety in Alabama schools, the new NWS polygon warning system, and
CJ's law (a pending bit of legislation that would force mobile home
manufacturers to put a new NOAA Weather Radio in every new home
sold). If you won't be home, be sure and set the TiVO or VCR!
