===================================================================

WET TUESDAY: Our forecast package today will highlight occasional
showers and thunderstorms thanks to an upper trough passing overhead.
It will be a cool rain with temperatures holding in the 59 to 63
degree range much of the day; that also means no surface based
instability, meaning no significant threat of severe weather. Most
communities can expect one-half to one inch of rain. Tomorrow promises
to be a brighter and warmer day with a partly sunny sky and a high in
the low 70s.

MORE RAIN LATER THIS WEEK: A very cold, deep upper trough will bring
heavy snow to parts of the Rocky Mountains tomorrow, and will bring
another chance of rain and storms to Alabama before the week is over.
A few scattered showers could break out on Thursday, but the main band
of showers and storms is scheduled to arrive late Friday and Friday
night. Based on the strength of the upper support, it is very possible
that we might be dealing with strong to severe thunderstorms, so the
system will be monitored closely as it approaches later in the week.
Some of the best upper support will be lifting north of Alabama, so
hopefully that will prevent a major severe weather problem. Confidence
is not especially high in timing this event due to inconsistent model
output, but at this time it looks like the best chance of strong to
severe storms will come from about 4:00 p.m. until 10:00 p.m. Friday.

THE WEEKEND: Looks like showers will move out of the state during the
pre-dawn hours Saturday. The sky will become partly sunny Saturday
with a high in the low 70s. Looks like a great night for trick or
treaters Saturday night, with a clear sky and pleasantly cool evening
temperatures in the 60s. And, Sunday will feature a good supply of
sunshine with a high in the low to mid 70s, a great day for the Amp
Energy 500 at the Talladega Superspeedway.

WE NEED SLEEP: The good news is that we gain one hour of sleep this
weekend; we go back on standard time at 2:00 a.m. Saturday. This means
you set your clocks back one hour before you go to bed Saturday night.
The sun will set Sunday afternoon at 4:55 p.m. Central Standard Time.

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 14 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). 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.
