A BLUSTRY SATURDAY: Significant changes ahead for Alabama over the
weekend. First we have to deal with some occasional showers. Possibly
some thunderstorms mixed in late today and tonight. We believe over
the North half of the state, what few thunderstorms do occur will be
rather tame. The storm prediction center has extreme SE Alabama under
a slight risk later today and overnight.

Our main concern is a significant cold front pushing SE through the
central plains this afternoon and extending from near St. Louis to
Dallas. The front is expected to reach Memphis this evening and come
rolling through central Alabama early tomorrow morning.

That is a strong high pressure system behind the front so look for
some NW winds Saturday occasionally gusting to over 25 mph. It will be
a day when you will need additional warm clothing unless you are James
Spann and myself, who are the warmest natured persons north of the
Equator.

Our most difficult forecast part is when the showers will end.
Originally, we thought we would have all sunshine Saturday with no
rain. Now it appears that the showers will linger for a short time
Saturday morning here in Central Alabama and a little longer over on
the East side of the state. Clouds may persist into the afternoon.

Temperatures will struggle to rise much during the day. In fact, in
places like Mentone, Ft. Payne, Scottsboro, the ol thermometer may not
get any higher than about 48. The temperature will drop to near
freezing Sunday morning and Monday morning. Another fresh supply of
colder air will arrive Tuesday.

FOOTBALL WEATHER: For the high school playoff games tonight, there
could be some showers involved. On Saturday, Georgia will be at Auburn
for an 11:30 kickoff televised by RayCom. The temperature will be near
50 at kickoff and windy with clearing weather during the game.
Mississippi State will be in Tuscaloosa for a Saturday night game with
Alabama on ESPN. It should be around 48 at kickoff, dropping to 40
before the final whistle and mostly clear.

WHAT IS A WEATHER GEEK: If you looked that up in the dictionary only a
small photograph of Bill Murray. I still plan to do a blog story one
of these days about his avid interest in weather. When I was still in
the NWS, we could look for Bill on Saturdays to hang around our office
at 11 West Oxmoor Road. He has been known to sleep on the floor some
nights during active weather. Another big weather geek is Bill
McMillan, who operates his own weather site at Mountain City, TN.
Mountain City is the highest elevated incorporated town in Tennessee.
It is located in the NE corner of the state. They get an average of 30
inches of snow per year. Bill has issued his winter outlook. He has
called for 40 inches this winder and a slightly colder than average
winter.

STORM ALERT EXTREME: It starts at 9:30am Saturday at the BJCC and
lasts until 3:30pm. No admission. Some great weather training and
information. You also get free admission to the Birmingham
International Auto Show. Quite a treat......
