...Great Day For A Parade...

Birmingham's 60th Veterans Day celebration ends with the annual parade
commencing at 1:30 p.m. from 8th Avenue and 19th Street North. It
will go south on 19th to Fifth Avenue North, then east on Fifth to
22nd Street before turning south to Second Avenue. It then will turn
west of Second Avenue to 18th Street and continue north to Sixth
Avenue. Other events today include an ROTC and JROTC competition at
the Fairgrounds at 7:30 a.m. There will be a Memorial Service at 9
a.m. at Cathedral Church of the Advent and the World Peace Luncheon at
Boutwell at 11 a.m. The weather will be ideal, with partly cloudy
skies and warm conditions during the parade. Afternoon temperature
readings will be in the lower and middle 70s.

THE WEEK AHEAD: Moisture levels will be steadily rising today and
tomorrow thanks to an increasing southerly and then southwesterly flow
ahead of our next system. Temperatures on Tuesday will rise into the
middle 70s after a morning low in the lower 50s. I guess there could
be a shower or storm on Tuesday, but the main activity should come
from the pre-dawn hours Wednesday until a weak cold front arrives
Wednesday night. I use the word "activity" advisedly, since rainfall
amounts will be light, less than a quarter of an inch. Expect
slightly cooler conditions behind the front, followed by another
system that will bring a brief round of showers and perhaps a storm
Friday night.

HOLIDAY SNEAK PREVIEW: After that system passes, a weak ridge of high
pressure will settle over Alabama in to the following week. More
model madness later in the Holiday week. We had expected showery
conditions, but the GFS is now less bullish on that idea. Still
hoping for a stronger system to the start the week after Thanksgiving.

COMET'S TAIL BREAKS AWAY: From SpaceWeather.com: Exploding Comet
17P/Holmes continues to amaze onlookers. On Nov. 8th and 9th part of
the comet's blue tail broke away in view of many backyard telescopes.
Visit http://spaceweather.com to see photos of the "disconnection
event" and speculation about what might have caused it.

ON THIS DATE IN 1970: The Great Cyclone of 1970 is known as the
"cyclone that founded a nation." The Category 4 cyclone slammed
ashore near Calcutta India during a terrifying evening of wind, rain
and rapidly rising water. The country of East Pakistan received the
brunt of the incredible 30 foot storm surge. Warnings were broadcast
by radio, but in the impoverished mud flats at the mouth of the River
Ganges, there were few radios. Much of the area is less than 15 feet
in elevation, so the 30 foot surge inundated areas up to 30 miles
inland. At least 300,000 people died, making it the single most deadly
tropical cyclone in world history. East Pakistan would declare its
independence from Pakistan because of the lack of support after the
disaster, leading to a deadly civil war. The new country would become
Bangladesh.
