...A Sharp Change To Colder Weather...

AN OCTOBER CHILL: A chilly, blustery weather pattern is shaping up for
Alabama as we head into the weekend, but at least the weather will be
drier in the days ahead. Temperatures will rise very little today,
hovering mostly in the low to mid 50s with lingering clouds and a
brisk north wind. You might see a few peeks of sun today, but clouds
will generally hang tough. Despite the clouds, the weather will be
generally dry with only some scattered light drizzle.

THE WEEKEND: The weather won't change much tomorrow; clouds will hang
around much of the day, with cold air will continue streaming into the
state with a chilly northerly wind. Some communities across North
Alabama will hold in the 40s all day, more like a mid-winter day. And,
as the sky finally clears tomorrow night, the stage is set for cold
mornings early Sunday and Monday, with readings in the 36 to 40 degree
range. We don't expect any frost early Sunday since the wind will
likely continue through the night, but Monday will bring the chance of
some frost for the time the season as the wind will be calm. Some of
the normally colder valleys across North Alabama might even be close
to freezing at daybreak Monday.

NEXT WEEK: A warming trend begins Monday, with an afternoon high
around 70. We should reach the mid 70s Tuesday and Wednesday as a
southerly flow returns to Alabama. For now, it looks like the next
significant rain event will come during the latter half next week,
especially late Thursday and Friday.

FOOTBALL WEATHER: A good, warm jacket is in order for tonight's high
school games. The kickoff temperature will be around 50, falling into
the 40s during the game with a north wind of 5 to 10 mph. Clouds will
be around, but no rain is expected. Tomorrow, Alabama hosts South
Carolina for homecoming at the Capstone; the sky will be mostly clear
at kickoff (6:45 p.m.) with a temperature close to 48 degrees; expect
mid 40s by the final whistle. Auburn hosts Kentucky (6:30 p.m.
kickoff) with similar conditions; the temperature will be around 50
degrees at kickoff, falling into the 40s during the game. The sky will
be generally clear. UAB will travel to Oxford, Mississippi to play Ole
Miss tomorrow night (6:00 p.m. kickoff)… the sky will be clear with a
kickoff temperature of 51 degrees, falling into the mid 40s by the
fourth quarter.

ROAMING FAR AND WIDE: State College, Pennsylvania recorded three-
tenths of an inch of snow yesterday, setting a record for earliest
recorded snowfall there. The previous earliest snow in State College
was one-tenth of an inch on Oct. 18, 1901. Snow flakes were also seen
across parts of New York and Connecticut. Tonight's first game in the
ALCS, the Angels at the Yankees, will be played with temperatures
around 40 degrees with light rain and drizzle. The wind chill index
will be very close to freezing.
