...Welcome To November...

The eleventh month of the year is starting much as
the tenth ended. Beautiful weather is in store for the weekend into
the early part of the week. A big storm system out west will weaken
before bringing us a chance of rain and storms later in the week.

TIME CHANGE: Don't forget to set your clocks back an
hour tonight before retiring to bed. You get an extra hour to sleep
tomorrow morning! Did you know that it is Daylight Saving Time, and
not Daylight Savings Time? You are "saving daylight."

THE WEEKEND: A simple forecast for today and tomorrow.
High pressure over the East Coast is in control of our weather. A
weakening upper level disturbance is passing to our south, but it will
not affect us here in Central Alabama, except for perhaps a few
clouds. The system will form an upper low over the northern Gulf, and
could spread moisture back into Southeast Alabama by tomorrow, but
rain chances will be limited. For central sections of the state,
today will and tomorrow will feature mostly sunny and mild
conditions. Tonight will be clear and chilly. Temperatures both days
will be in the low 70s after a morning start around 40 degrees.

NEXT WEEK: Tuesday and Wednesday will be dry across the
area. Meanwhile, a strong storm will be affecting the western U.S.
This system will be lifting out by the north, with a surface low over
Iowa by Thursday morning. A cold front will be approaching Alabama
from the west. It looks like the best chance for rain and storms will
be Thursday now. This system will produce severe to the west of us by
Wednesday. Nothing is expected to get out of hand in the severe
weather department here, as the primary dynamics will be well to the
north by the time it arrives.

VOODOOLAND: The GFS shows a big wet weather storm system
affecting Alabama by Thursday the 13th. Since that is voodooland, we
will simply mention it at this time and wait to see what develops.

PIGSKIN WEATHER: In college football, Arkansas State
will be the Alabama Homecoming guests at Tuscaloosa today for a 2:00
p.m. kick off on PPV only. The temperature should be
around 74 at kick off and upper 60s by the final whistle. Auburn will
play Ole Miss in Oxford this morning 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.

SKY SHOW THIS WEEKEND: At twilight tonight, look for a
gorgeous crescent moon emerging out of the sunset side by side with
the planet Venus. Up and to the left, you will also see another
bright object, the planet Jupiter. The crescent moon will feature
some beautiful earthshine. Earthshine is sunlight that reflects off
the Earth, lighting the surface of the moon in a faint glow.
Tomorrow night, gaze to the southwest at sunset to see of string of
celestial pearls, including Jupiter, the crescent moon and Venus lined
up across the sky.

ON THIS DATE IN 1870: At 7:35 a.m., United States Army
Signal Corps observers at 24 sites around the country simultaneously
made weather reports and transmitted them to Washington where a
national weather map would be drawn. This started the process of
sending out weather reports by telegraph to metropolitan newspapers.
This would be the beginning of our present day National Weather Service.
