...Ready for some Turkey?...

After a mostly cloudy Sunday that was damp for some folks, get ready
for some warm weather for the next two days, followed by storms and a
change to cooler as we head toward the weekend and the important
battle for state football bragging rights Saturday on the Plains. It
looks like at least three decent rainfall events are in the cards over
the next two weeks. Let's hope so…

ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES: The exiting disturbance is taking the
showers with it this morning and skies will clear fairly quickly in
the sinking air on the backside. Weak high pressure will ridge into
the area today and with a good supply of sunshine, temperatures will
warm into the lower and middle 60s this afternoon. These readings
will be about ten degrees above normal for late November. Tomorrow,
those readings will be even a few degrees warmer as southerly breezes
continue to transport mild air and moisture into the region. By late
tomorrow, low pressure will be developing to our west and intensifying
as it moves northeast. We should see showers and storms developing on
Wednesday as we find ourselves in the warm sector of the developing
cyclone.

STRONG STORMS? A strong cold front will be approaching Alabama
Wednesday night into early Thursday morning. Storms ahead of the
front could be on the strong side, so we will be monitoring for the
possibility of severe weather Wednesday afternoon and evening into
early Thursday morning. The front should push through the area
Thursday morning, with a little light rain through the day along with
sharply cooler temperatures and a strong northwest wind. That theme
will continue into the biggest shopping day of the year on Friday,
just minus the clouds. It will be a brisk day with sunny skies, a
biting northeast wind and highs in the 50s. Some rain may return on
Saturday ahead of a low expected to develop over the northwestern Gulf.

TRAVEL ALERT: The good news is that the Thanksgiving Holiday travel
crunch should not be complicated terribly by weather. There will be
some problems in the central part of the country on Wednesday,
however. The storm system over the Pacific Northwest will affect that
region and the northern Rockies today and tomorrow, but should stay
north of the critical airport hub at Denver. Denver will pick up some
snow on Wednesday as the system moves into the Central Plains. Look
for a decent snow at Kansas City, moving into St. Louis late in the
day. Chicago could be a potential problem on Wednesday afternoon as
heavy rain changes to snow, with several inches possible overnight.
Hopefully, most everyone can get in place by Wednesday evening.
Detroit could be a winter wonderland on Thursday as the Lions suit up
for their traditional Thanksgiving Day game. No major problems are
foreseen for the return travel dates.

ON THIS DATE IN 1981: An unusually early snowstorm struck the Twin
Cities of Minnesota, with as much as a foot of snow reported. The
weight of the heavy snow caused the newly inflated fabric dome of the
Hubert Humphrey Metrodome in downtown Minneapolis to collapse and rip.
