...Clear Through the Weekend...

DRY THROUGH THE WEEKEND: A fresh supply of cool, dry air moved into
Alabama last night, meaning the dry spell will continue through the
weekend and most of next week. Today will be the sixth consecutive day
without a drop of rain for most of the state.
Our forecast package will highlight sunny pleasant days and clear,
chilly nights through Sunday. Afternoon highs will be in the 68 to 72
degree range, while lows will be well down in the 40s. Some of the
colder valleys across North Alabama might reach the upper 30s early
Sunday with some scattered frost.

FOOTBALL WEATHER: No complaints from coaches, players, officials and
fans. Clear for all the games this weekend. For high school games
tonight, the temperature will be near 60 at kick off and dropping into
the 50s. Auburn has homecoming hosting Tennessee Tech at 1:30 tomorrow
at Jordan-Hare Stadium. Low humidity, 72 at kick off, 60s during the
second half. LSU will be in Tuscaloosa for a 4:00 p.m. kick off with
Alabama. Should be about 68 when foot meets leather for the first time
and 58 at the final whistle. Southern Miss will be at Legion Field
playing at 6:00 p.m. 65 at kick off, 53 in the fourth quarter.

NEXT WEEK: Another dry cold front will pass through Alabama on
Tuesday; like yesterday's front we might see a few scattered clouds
and a breezy afternoon, but the air is simply too dry for any
significant chance of rain. Following that front will be the coldest
air so far this season. At this time it looks like we won't get out of
the 50s on Wednesday, despite maximum sunshine, and by early Thursday
morning (November 8), temperatures should be well down in the 30s with
a good chance of widespread frost. Freezing temperatures seem likely
for the colder valleys across North Alabama early Thursday.

NOEL NOW A HURRICANE: Noel reached minimum hurricane strength last
night as it pulled away from the Bahamas. Noel will move at a faster
forward speed today to the north, and will lose tropical
characteristics as it becomes more of a cold core, North Atlantic type
storm. It will be close enough for some wind and rain over Cape Cod
tomorrow night. The death toll from Noel has risen to 107; most of
those fatalities came in the Dominican Republic and Haiti, where
severe flooding was widespread.

EXTREMES: The warmest spot in Alabama yesterday was Dothan with 82.
Hottest place in the nation was Thermal, CA with 92. Coldest place in
the nation yesterday morning was Beaver, Alaska with -3.

WANT TO BE A STORM SPOTTER? Don't forget, our annual storm training
session called Storm Alert Xtreme is on Saturday November 10 at the
BJCC, in association with the Alabama International Auto Show. No
admission for our weather event, and you get in the car show at no
cost as well. See the blog (alabamawx.com) for the complete agenda.
