...A Slow Warming Trend Ahead...

DRY THROUGH THE WEEKEND: Today will be the 12th consecutive day with
no measurable rain for a large part of Alabama. Dry air means lots of
sunshine today, and a warming trend will begin this afternoon after
another very frosty morning. We will reach the low 60s this afternoon,
still about 5 degrees below normal for November 8. The slow warm-up
continues tomorrow with a high in the mid to upper 60s, and we will
peak around 70 degrees on both Saturday and Sunday. A clipper passing
north of Alabama could bring some scattered clouds tomorrow, but we
still expect a good deal of sunshine. And, the weather over the
weekend will remain dry; excellent weather for the high school playoff
games tomorrow night, and the college games across the Deep South on
Saturday.

SOME RAIN NEXT WEEK: We are still looking at our next good chance of
showers and thunderstorms around Tuesday of next week. Based on the
projected strength of the upper air trough coming in here from the
west, it looks like we will have a chance of strong to severe
thunderstorms with rain totals of one-half to one inch. Then, another
shot of colder air rolls in here during the latter half of the week,
which means we will probably have one or two mornings with sub-
freezing lows again.

FIRST FREEZE: Yesterday morning was the first widespread freeze of the
season for much of the Southeast U.S. Some observed lows included 9
degrees at Phillipi, West Virginia, 12 atop Mount LeConte in the Great
Smoky Mountains, 13 atop Mount Mitchell, North Carolina, 23 at Black
Creek (in Northeast Etowah County, not too far from Gadsden) and
Hamilton, and 25 at Pinson, Fort Payne, and Munford. A freeze was seen
as far south as Troy, down in South Alabama's Pike County, where the
low was 30.

HODGEPODGE: Warmest place in the nation yesterday was Gila Bend,
Arizona with 95 degrees. Alabama's warmest November temperature on
record is 85 degrees, measured on November 1, 2000 and November 2, 2003.

STORM ALERT XTREME: We hope to see you his Saturday (November 10) at
the BJCC for our annual severe storm training session. Once again this
year, the Alabama International Auto Show is a sponsor of Storm Alert
XTREME, and it will be held at the BJCC. This is your chance to learn
more about Alabama weather, and to be trained as a storm spotter. ABC
33/40 Meteorologist Brian Peters, long time WCM (Warning Coordination
Meteorologist) for the National Weather Service in Birmingham, will
teach a basic and advanced course on spotting small scale features
within thunderstorms that are very important to meteorologists. And,
remember, if you attend Storm Alert Xtreme, you get free admission
into the Alabama International Auto Show!
