...Next Rain Late In The Weekend...

DRY COLD FRONT ARRIVES TONIGHT: Expect a nice warm-up across Alabama
today; after a frosty morning, we should be in the mid 60s by
afternoon with a good supply of sunshine. Then, tonight, a cold front
rolls through here, but we expect only an increase in clouds; the low
levels remain dry as a bone and there should not be any rain
associated with the front. Then, tomorrow, a fresh supply of cool and
dry air blows into the state, which should keep highs tomorrow
afternoon in the upper 50s. Then, by Friday morning, most North
Alabama communities will be very close to freezing. Friday will be
another sunny day.

OUR WEEKEND: Saturday should be another dry day, but clouds will
increase on Sunday in advance of a strong storm system. The surface
low associated with the system will move from the plains of eastern
Colorado to near Chicago over the weekend, and a strong cold front
extending southward from the low will push into Alabama late Sunday
night. A few showers are possible during the day Sunday, but the main
round of showers and storms will come Sunday night in advance of the
front. Some strong storms could be involved, but for the moment it
looks like instability values will be too low for a major severe
weather threat. Rain totals of one-half to one inch look likely; some
spots might get a little more than that.

On Monday, the rain should end early in the day, and temperatures
should fall during the day as strong north winds bring in another shot
of cold air. Tuesday at this time looks cold and dry.

ON THIS DATE IN 1988: Thunderstorms spawned five tornadoes in North
Carolina during the early morning hours. A powerful tornado ripped
through one of the most densely populated areas of Raleigh destroying
hundreds of homes and damaging thousands more. The tornado killed four
persons along its 83 mile track, and injured 154 others. Total damage
was estimated at more than 77 million dollars.

VERY COLD FOR NOVEMBER: The coldest spot in the U.S. yesterday was
Beaver Creek, Alaska with 32 degrees below zero. The community of Lake
Metigoshe, North Dakota reported a low of 21 degrees below zero.
Yesterday's high at Minneapolis, MN was only 16 degrees; they are
expecting some snow today with a high of 23. Fargo, North Dakota will
have a hard time getting out of the single digits today; their
forecast high is only 10 degrees.

STILL WARM IN FLORIDA: Warmest place in the nation yesterday was Fort
Myers, Florida with a high of 86. Miami Beach reported 84, while Tampa
soared to 80 degrees. Afternoon highs over the southern half of
Florida will remain generally in the 80 to 85 degree range on a daily
basis through Friday.
