...Moisture Levels are Increasing...

LOOKING FOR RAIN: With Birmingham's rain deficit up to 21.42", we will
take any rain we can get. There will be a risk of a few isolated
showers this afternoon and tonight with a weak upper air wave passing
through, but rainfall amounts, if any, will be light and spotty. We
will have a much better chance of significant rain tomorrow night as a
cold front passes through Alabama. At this point it looks like the
primary chance of rain will come from about 9:00 tomorrow night
through 6:00 a.m. Thursday. Most communities can expect from one-
quarter to one-half inch of rain; not exactly a drought buster, but it
beats nothing.

The sky will become sunny rather quickly on Thursday, and the weather
turns noticeably cooler with temperatures barely getting out of the
50s. Then we expect a frosty Friday morning with a low down in the mid
to upper 30s. The colder valleys can expect a light freeze by daybreak
Friday. The weather during the day Friday will remain dry and cool.

WEEKEND PREVIEW: While moisture levels will slowly increase over the
weekend, at this moment the chance of rain on Saturday and Sunday
looks relatively small. Look for afternoon highs in the 65 to 70
degree range, just a little above normal for mid-November.

THANKSGIVING WEEK: Another disturbance will bring the next chance of
showers and thunderstorms early next week on Monday. Then, a stronger
system is due in here at mid-week with another round of showers and
thunderstorms on Wednesday, which is considered by some to be the
busiest travel day of the year. Interesting to note that mid-week
system has the chance to produce the first significant snow of the
season in a broad area from roughly St. Louis to Indianapolis and
Detroit. Of course, this is still 8 days away, so some changes are
possible. But, the system looks pretty potent, and model output has
been pretty consistent. Thanksgiving Day for now looks dry and colder
for Alabama and much of the Deep South.

TROPICS: The 2007 hurricane season ends on November 30; so far this
year there have been five hurricanes, 8 tropical storm, one sub-
tropical storm, and two tropical depressions. Hurricanes Dean and
Felix reached category five strength, but they did not impact the
United States. Hurricane Humberto also became the fastest developing
storm on record to be so close to land. It strengthened from a 35 mph
tropical depression to an 85 mph hurricane in 14 hours while 15 miles
off the coast of Texas.

HODGEPODGE: Hottest place in the U.S. yesterday was Laredo, Texas with
90 degrees. Arctic Village, Alaska dropped to 17 degrees below zero
yesterday morning; the low at Big Piney, Wyoming was 7 degrees above
zero. Light rain was falling much of the day at Seattle, where the
total was .56" with a high of only 53. Peoria, Illinois measured .68"
from passing showers.
