...Fine Fall Weekend...

MILD AFTERNOONS: We wrap up the month of October today with a
beautiful autumn day; maximum available sunshine with a high close to
70 degrees this afternoon following a chilly morning. And, the weather
won't change much over the weekend with a very dry airmass holding in
place; afternoons will remain comfortably mild with cool nights. Highs
over the weekend will be generally in the 70 to 75 degree range, about
where we should be for early November.

FOOTBALL WEATHER: Clear and cool for high school games tonight with
temperatures falling through the 50s and maybe into the 40s by the
final whistle. In college football, Arkansas State will be the Alabama
Homecoming guests at Tuscaloosa tomorrow for a 2:00 p.m. kick off on
PPV only. Temperature should be around 74 at kick off and upper 60s by
the final whistle. Auburn will play Ole Miss in Oxford tomorrow with
an early kick off at 11:30 televised on Raycom. The temperature will
pop out in the mid 70s later in the game. UAB will be at Hattiesburg
to play Southern Mississippi in a night game. About 67 degrees for the
7:00 p.m. kick off and in the 50s by the end of the game. It will be a
great weekend for pigskin action.

NEXT WEEK: The first half of next week looks dry and pleasant; our
next chance of rain will come at the end of the week as a cold front
approaches. The latest model data hints at a weaker system that won't
bring a chance of strong storms, but we will keep an eye on things for
possible changes. Don't forget that our fall tornado season begins
tomorrow; tornadoes and severe storms can happen easily during
November and the first half of December.

FALL BACK: Don't forget we go back on standard time over the weekend;
set your clocks back one hour before going to bed tomorrow night. The
sun will set Sunday afternoon around 5:00 p.m. At least we pick up an
hour of sleep.

STORM ALERT XTREME: Want to be trained as a storm spotter? Want to
join the ABC 33/40 Skywatcher team? Our annual training event, Storm
Alert Xtreme, is coming up on Saturday November 15 at the BJCC during
the annual Birmingham International Auto Show. You will be trained by
the best SKYWARN trainer in the nation, our own Brian Peters (he has
trained over 6,000 Alabama storm spotters over the years), and learn
from one of the most brilliant weather researchers in the country, our
own Dr. Tim Coleman. We encourage all of our Skywatchers to attend
this every year; you simply cannot get enough training. We will begin
at 9:30, and be out by 3:30. And, everyone that attends Storm Alert
Xtreme gets free admission to the Alabama International Auto Show.
There is no admission charge, and no need to register. Just show up,
but get there early for a good seat. We had a packed house last year.
