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

A BIG CHANGE TO COOLER WEATHER: North winds gusting as high as 25 mph
today will bring in the coolest air so far this fall season for
Alabama and the Deep South. In fact, daytime temperatures today will
be about 20 degrees cooler than yesterday; most North Alabama
communities will fail to reach 60 degrees today despite maximum
sunshine.

FREEZING MORNINGS AHEAD: We expect a freeze both tomorrow and Thursday
morning as the colder air continues to settle into the state. As you
all know, this is not a "one number" kind of place on a clear, calm
morning. We expect actual lows to vary from 23 to 35 degrees both
mornings, with the colder readings in the valleys and protected areas.
We project an average low of 31 tomorrow morning, and 30 early
Thursday morning. This will be our first freeze since April 8, and
will mark the end of a very difficult 2007 growing season for Alabama
farmers. Between the April freeze and the ongoing drought, it has
really been tough out there.
The weather begins to warm up a bit late in the week, and the dry air
will remain in place through the weekend, so another excellent
football weekend is ahead for the state for sunny mild days and clear
cool nights Friday through Sunday.

NEXT WEEK: Looks like we will finally have a decent opportunity for
rain early next week; a vigorous upper trough will bring a healthy
round of showers and thunderstorms to the state, and at this time it
looks like the best chance of them will come either Monday night or
Tuesday. Based on the expected strength of the system, we might be
dealing with severe thunderstorms.

TOO DRY: Birmingham's rain deficit for 2007 is up to 20.34"; the
deficiency at Tuscaloosa is 26.99", and 28.05" at Anniston.

ROAMING FAR AND WIDE: Thunderstorms dropped .90" of rain on Nashville
late yesterday; Davidson County, Tennessee was even under a tornado
warning for a brief time, but no damage was reported. Coldest spot in
the U.S. yesterday morning was Fort Yukon, Alaska with -8. In the
"lower 48", Ketchum, Idaho dropped to 10 degrees. Hottest places were
Wink, Texas and Phoenix, Arizona with 93 degrees.

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!
