...Storms Tonight; Colder Tomorrow...

COLD FRONT ON THE WAY: A strong cold front will pass through Alabama
late tonight, and a healthy line of showers and storms should pass
through in advance of the boundary. While a few scattered showers and
storms could break out this afternoon, it still looks like the main
round of rain and storms will come from around 8:00 tonight through
5:00 a.m. tomorrow. A few of the storms could be strong to severe, but
they should slowly weaken tonight as the air becomes more stable. Rain
is what we need, and at this point it looks like rain totals of one-
quarter to one-half inch can be expected for most places around here.

AN ICY WIND TOMORROW: Much colder air rolls into Alabama tomorrow in
the wake of the frontal passage. The sky becomes mostly sunny early in
the day, but despite the sun it looks like we won't make it out of the
50s. A north wind gusting to 25 to 30 mph will make the day feel even
cooler. Then, by early Friday morning, many North and Central Alabama
communities will see a light freeze along with widespread frost as the
temperature drops into the low 30s. The normally colder valleys should
dip into the 24 to 29 degree range. Then, during the day Friday, the
weather will remain sunny but cool.

WEEKEND PREVIEW: Saturday promises to be yet another beautiful day for
football, but a wave in the upper atmosphere will bring some clouds in
here on Sunday, and we will bring in the chance of a few showers by
Sunday afternoon into the nighttime hours. For now, this system does
not look like a major rain producer (how many times have we heard that
in recent months!).

THANKSGIVING WEEK: All eyes will be on a major weather system expected
to develop by mid-week over the middle of the nation. This deep upper
trough is expected to bring a round of showers and thunderstorms to
Alabama… possibly a severe weather threat, followed by the coldest air
so far this season by Thanksgiving Day. But, remember there isn't much
skill in a specific forecast beyond seven days, so details might
change as we get closer to the holiday.

TUESDAY'S SHOWERS: A band of showers and thunderstorms dropped
southward over the northern half of Alabama yesterday; there was some
scattered wind damage in Lamar County, near Millport. Rain totals
included .43" at Haleyville, .28" at Blountsville, .26" at Carbon
Hill, .15" at McCalla, and .04" at Jasper. We had a few drops at the
ABC 33/40 studio in Riverchase during the evening hours, but not
enough rain to measure.

TIDBITS: St. Thomas, in the Virgin Islands, was soaked with 1.63" of
rain yesterday. Hottest spot in the nation was Fullerton, California
with 93 degrees. Coldest was Chandalar Lake, Alaska with 22 degrees
below zero.
