...Unsettled Weather Ahead...

CLOUDS MOVE IN TODAY: Clouds will increase across Alabama today in
advance of a complex storm system to the west, but the low levels of
the atmosphere remain dry and it looks like most of the daytime hours
will be dry. This bodes well for today's big Veteran's Day parade
downtown Birmingham; just a small risk of a few sprinkles during the
parade with temperatures climbing into the 60s with a mostly cloudy
sky. The chance of showers will slowly increase tonight and tomorrow
as moisture levels improve. The rain won't be continuous or especially
heavy, and the better rain totals will likely be found over the
northwest counties of the state.

THURSDAY AND FRIDAY: The weather remains unsettled on these days as a
southerly flow continues; we will mention a chance of scattered
showers on Thursday as temperatures warm to near 70 degrees. Then, on
Friday, a strong cold front rolls through with potential for another
band of showers and storms. At this time, the instability values look
marginal, so we don't expect a problem with severe storms. Rain totals
for the I-20 corridor (Tuscaloosa, Birmingham, Anniston) should be
near one-half inch through Friday, but to the northwest places like
Muscle Shoals should see over one inch of rain.

WEEKEND PEEK: The rain will exit Alabama Friday night, and much colder
air rolls in here over the weekend. Temperatures will struggle to
reach the low 50s on Saturday and Sunday with a very chilly north
wind. We will drop down into the mid 30s by daybreak Sunday, with
upper 20s likely by Monday of next week. The cold air
will be very dry and we expect a good supply of sunshine both Saturday
and Sunday. The dry weather will continue into Monday of next week.

NOVEMBER STORMS: Severe thunderstorms erupted across parts of North
Texas and West Kansas yesterday afternoon; a large tornado was
reported on the ground northwest of Johnson City, Kansas. Large hail
fell north of Stephenville, Texas. Flash flooding was reported in the
Dallas/Fort Worth area last night.

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 this 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.
