...Strong Storms Tonight; Colder Tomorrow ...

BIG CHANGES AHEAD: We have some very active weather in the days ahead
for Alabama, with lots of very sharp changes along the way thanks to
two distinct storm systems. The first system will bring increasing
clouds to the state today, and some chance of showers and storms by
afternoon. But, the primary round of showers and storms should come
late tonight, mainly in the 10:00 p.m. to 8:00 a.m. time frame, when a
cold front will sweep through our state. The Storm Prediction Center
maintains a slight risk of severe weather for the roughly the northern
half of Alabama tonight, with the primary threat coming from strong
straight line winds. We believe the storms will weaken late tonight as
they drop southward because the air will be more stable after
midnight, and the better dynamics will lift north of the state.
Rainfall amounts of around one-half inch look likely.

A RAW THANKSGIVING DAY: The rain will end tomorrow morning, and as the
rain moves out, much colder air rolls into the state on a brisk
northwest wind. Temperatures will go the wrong way; we will begin the
day in the mid 50s, but we should wind up in the upper 40s by the
midday or afternoon hours. Then, a light freeze is possible for some
of the colder places by daybreak Friday. Our weather will be dry and
cool Friday with ample sunshine and a high in the low to mid 50s.

MORE RAIN OVER THE WEEKEND: In this fast changing weather pattern,
another wave over Texas will pull warm, moist air from the Gulf of
Mexico northward on Saturday, up and over a shallow layer of colder
air near the surface. This is called "overrunning", and rain should
become widespread Saturday afternoon and Saturday night. The rain
initially could evaporate as it falls into drier air; this is a
cooling process, and that should set the stage for a chilly, wet night
Saturday night.

IRON BOWL: We are still forecasting cold and wet weather for this
year's Iron Bowl; rain is likely in Auburn Saturday night with
temperatures only in the 40s. Thunder and lighting is not expected;
just a cold, soaking rain.

MAJOR SEVERE WEATHER THREAT? During the day Sunday, a warm front will
surge northward through Alabama, putting much of the state in the warm
sector of the storm by the afternoon and nighttime hours. As a
deepening surface low moves into Northeast Mississippi, and a strong
upper trough approaches from the west, the stage could be set for a
significant severe weather threat for much of Alabama late Sunday
afternoon and Sunday night. We need to get the system through here
tonight, and we will have a much better look at the threat by tomorrow
and Friday, but it bears close watching by all Alabama residents.

WHITE THANKSGIVING: Rain should change to snow tonight in the general
area from St. Louis to Chicago to Milwaukee; some places in the region
could see 2 to 4 inches of snow.
