...Rain By Early Next Week...

ANOTHER SUNNY DAY: This will be our 6th consecutive day with no rain
for almost all of Alabama, and our dry spell should last through the
weekend with a good supply of sunshine each day. Today's high will be
close to 70, followed by low 70s tomorrow, and mid 70s Sunday. A few
scattered clouds could show up by Sunday afternoon, but the low levels
will remain dry and there is no chance of rain.

FOOTBALL WEATHER: For a change we have some great weather to discuss
this week. For tonight's high school playoff games, the sky will be
clear with a kickoff temperature near 64 degrees, dropping into the
50s during the second half. Tomorrow, Alabama hosts LSU at Bryant-
Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa (2:30 p.m. kickoff). The sky will be sunny
with 71 degrees at kickoff, with temperatures falling back into the
60s during the second half. Very similar weather for the Auburn/Furman
game at Jordan-Hare Stadium; lots of sunshine with temperatures in the
67 to 70 degree range during the game. UAB celebrates homecoming
Saturday, as the Blazers host Florida Atlantic at Legion Field (1:00
p.m. kickoff). A sunny sky for that game with a kickoff temperature
near 70 degrees.

NEXT WEEK: A disturbance in the Northwest Gulf of Mexico will move
into the Deep South early next week, and will bring the chance of a
shower as early as Monday afternoon. Showers will be more likely
Monday night into Tuesday with some risk of a thunderstorm as well.
The rest of the week looks relatively dry with comfortable temperatures.

EYES ON IDA: Ida weakened to a tropical depression last night as the
circulation center moved into Nicaragua. The system will emerge back
over the water today, and Ida is expected to strengthen again over the
weekend, as it moves slowly northward toward the Yucatan Channel. The
forecast track has Ida in the central part of the Gulf of Mexico by
Tuesday night of next week. There is a chance that Ida would grow into
a significant hurricane at some point over the Northwest Caribbean or
the far southern Gulf, but sea water temperatures remain cool over the
northern Gulf, so the farther north this one goes, the weaker it will
get. Everybody in the southern part of Florida will need to monitor
the progress of Ida in coming days; for now we don't expect a major
impact on our state.

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.
