...Dry Through the Weekend...

FABULOUS FALL WEATHER: What a wonderful weekend ahead… sunny pleasant
days and clear cold nights through Sunday as dry air remains in place.
Afternoon temperatures will peak near 60 today, and in the mid to
upper 60s tomorrow and Sunday. I strongly suggest a drive through the
country to catch the fall foliage colors; seems like they are peaking
right now across much of Alabama.

FOOTBALL WEATHER: Clear but chilly for high school playoff games
tonight. Temperatures in the 40s but little or no wind. Louisiana/
Monroe will be at Alabama for a 1:30 kickoff tomorrow at Bryant-Denny
Stadium. Mostly sunny with temperatures peaking 68 to 70 during the
game. UAB is at Memphis for a 2:30 game. Mostly sunny, 65 at kickoff,
50s in the fourth quarter.

THANKSGIVING WEEK: A major storm system is expected to form over the
Southwest U.S. early next week, spreading a variety of inclement
weather across the nation during the busiest travel time of the year.
Initially, snow will develop across the Southern Rockies; Denver could
be dealing with a significant snow event by Tuesday and Wednesday.
Snow should expand into the area generally between Amarillo, Texas and
Chicago during the mid-week period, meaning many of those folks will
have a white Thanksgiving.

In the warm sector of the storm, rain and strong storms will become
widespread across Texas and the Southern Plains on Tuesday, spreading
slowly to the east. At this point, it looks like the rain will arrive
in Alabama on Thanksgiving Day, possibly lasting into Friday. Based on
the strength of the system, we might be dealing with strong storms
here, but on the positive side some beneficial rain will be possible.
It might even be a setup for rain totals of two inches or more. We
sure need it.
Much colder air will roll into Alabama following the rain; at this
point we project dry but cold weather for the Iron Bowl at Jordan-Hare
Stadium Saturday night November 24. But, remember, there isn't very
much skill in a specific forecast beyond seven days, so that is
subject to change. We have high confidence in the series of events
next week, but the timing could be off.

DROUGHT UPDATE: The rain total at the Birmingham Airport Wednesday
night was 0.84", which brings the total for the year to 26.07". The
deficiency is 21.06" for 2007. The deficiency at Anniston is 28.30".

TENNESSEE TORNADOS: The NWS in Huntsville confirmed an EF1 tornado
yesterday; it touched down Wednesday night near the community of
Flintville, in Lincoln County., Another tornado touched down in the
community of Kimball, which is west of Chattanooga. Nine people were
injured; all of the injuries were minor.

NOVEMBER SNOW: A snow advisory was in effect last night for the Great
Smoky Mountains of Northeast Tennessee; one to four inches was expected.
