...A Big Change To Colder Weather...

A COOL CHANGE: Following a nice round of showers and thunderstorms
last night, look for a major change to cooler weather across Alabama.
A brisk north wind gusting to 25 mph at times will bring Polar air
back to the state, and despite sunshine returning in full force, we
won't make it out of the 50s today. We are forecasting a high of 56
degrees today, which is 21 degrees cooler than yesterday's high of 77,
and 11 degrees cooler than the average high of 65.
Once the sun goes down this evening, temperatures will drop quickly,
and freezing temperatures are expected by daybreak tomorrow. Actual
lows should range from 23 in the coldest valleys to 35 on the ridges.
Tomorrow will be sunny and cool day with a high close to 60.

OUR WEEKEND: Looks like we stay rain-free through the entire weekend.
Saturday will feature a good supply of sunshine with afternoon
temperatures reaching the mid 60s. On Sunday, we will have a mix of
sun and clouds with upper 60s by afternoon. A weak wave will bring
some scattered clouds on Sunday, but at this time it looks like the
low level air will remain very dry, and we have removed the risk of
showers from our forecast.

THANKSGIVING WEEK: A major storm system will impact much of the nation
next week; the latest model runs have trended slower, warmer, and
wetter for Alabama. For now, it looks like the weather will remain dry
Monday through Wednesday as a major upper trough forms over the
Southwest U.S. This system will finally move eastward later in the
week, and bring periods of rain and a few thunderstorms to Alabama by
Thanksgiving Day and Friday (11/23). This has the potential to bring
some beneficial rain to Alabama and the Deep South, but also some
holiday travel issues. Looks like Denver might see a pretty
significant snow storm on the day before Thanksgiving, which could
foul up air traffic at the big airport there.

LAST NIGHT'S STORMS: There was some scattered tree and power line
damage across parts of Northwest Alabama, including Marion County, but
the storms weakened as they approached the Birmingham area. Most
communities received one-quarter to one-half inch of rain; we will run
down the full list later today.

18 YEARS AGO TODAY: An F4 tornado roared through the southern part of
Huntsville; it would destroy or damage 80 businesses, 3 churches, a
dozen apartment buildings, and more than 1,000 cars. It moved on,
climbing over Garth Mountain, demolishing Jones Valley Elementary
School, and destroying 259 homes in the Jones Valley area. All told,
the tornado killed 21 people and injured 463. This was before Doppler
Radar was in use, and a tornado warning was not in effect until 9
minutes after it touched down.
