...A Few Showers; Then Colder Saturday...

RAIN AMOUNTS STAY LIGHT: We will maintain the chance of showers
through tomorrow, but it looks like rain totals will remain on the
light side statewide. Today, the best chance of showers will come
during the morning hours; any showers this afternoon and tonight
should be rather widely scattered. Then, one more round of showers is
likely tomorrow afternoon and tomorrow night in advance of a cold
front. There could be a little thunder in scattered spots, but
instability values are very limited and severe weather is not
expected. Rain totals through tomorrow night should be around one-half
inch or less.

A CHILLY SATURDAY: We still expect a rather blustery day Saturday; we
will struggle to reach the low 50s even with returning sunshine. An
icy north wind will make it feel colder. Then, we drop well down into
the 30s both Sunday and Monday morning. The incoming cold air is dry,
so there is no chance of rain over the weekend into early next week.

FOOTBALL WEATHER: For the high school football playoff games tomorrow
night, the sky will be cloudy with a chance of showers during the
games. Temperatures will fall through the 50s. Saturday, Auburn hosts
Georgia at 11:30 (Raycom TV); the sky will become mostly sunny during
the game with a kickoff temperature around 50 degrees. A strong north
wind will gust as high as 30 mph at times. And, Alabama hosts
Mississippi State Saturday night at Bryant-Denny Stadium (6:45 p.m.
kickoff on ESPN); the sky will be clear with a kickoff temperature
near 48 degrees, dropping to near 40 by the final whistle. You will
need a warm jacket for this one. And, UAB will be in New Orleans to
take on Tulane at 2:00 p.m. (radio only); we will promise no rain and
a light wind since the game is in the Louisiana Superdome. Outside,
the sky will be sunny with afternoon temperatures in the 60s.

NEXT WEEK: We continue to see a deep, cold upper trough forming over
the eastern U.S. toward the end of next week on most computer model
runs; if this is correct that will bring the coldest air so far this
season to Alabama; even some hint of snow flurries around here on
Thursday (November 20, one week from today). The good news is that we
don't see any sign of a severe weather outbreak here for the next 7 to
10 days.

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 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!
