...More Sunshine...

UTOPIA AUTUMN WEATHER CONTINUES: Again today November is being very gracious to Alabama. If you look real close, you can see some very thin wispy clouds way up high. Those are around 30,000 feet above the ground and the temperature is bitter cold at that level, below zero with NW winds over 50 mph. None of that is abnormal, but those type cirrus clouds present brilliant sunsets.

NOW BACK TO EARTH: We all live at ground level and down here where we exist the weather will still be hard to beat, at least through Monday. In fact, for Saturday and Sunday some more sunny dry weather with cool nights, but milder afternoons. We will see some clouds on Monday, but even then more sun than clouds. High temperatures for the next three days will be in the mid 70s and lows in the 40s.

OUR NEXT RAIN: Another front will move west to east through Alabama on Tuesday as a low-pressure area passes to our NW. It should set off a few showers and bring us some cooler temperatures. Daytime highs will back off to the upper 60s. The probability of the rain on Tuesday is not signed, sealed and delivered. Models are arguing over the situation and one of our most trusted models keeps us without rain into the middle of next week.

THE MORNING CHILL: It was in the 30s over much of North and Central Alabama this morning. Several places in NE Alabama had lows around 33. It was 34 in Pinson and Cullman, 37 in Huntsville and 39 in Birmingham, Anniston and Tuscaloosa.

FOOTBALL WEATHER: Still a number of high school play off games scheduled for tonight. It would be difficult to improve on the game-time weather. Generally clear and dry for all stadiums with little or no wind. Temperatures in the 60s at kick off, falling into the 50s for the second half and some upper 40s by the fourth quarter. Lots of college games around the region Saturday. In Alabama, Tennessee Tech will be at Jacksonville State. Jackson State will be at Alabama A&M and Concordia at Stillman. Most of the games have a midday or early afternoon kick off. Look for low to mid 70s during the game, but 60s by the fourth quarter. Night games include Auburn at Georgia with a 6:00 p.m. kick off. Clear weather, in the 60s, dropping into the 50s and even into the 40s by the fourth quarter. Alabama travels west to Starkville to play Mississippi State. They are expecting the biggest crowd ever for a football game with a 6:00 p.m. kick off. Clear with temperatures in the 60s at the beginning, dropping into the 50s and eventually into the upper 40s by the fourth quarter.

STORM ALERT XTREME: If you get to the BJCC by 9:00, you should get a good seat. The program is from 9:30 to 2:30 tomorrow. Good training for storm spotters and if you want to be a 33/40 Skywatcher. Absolutely no charge and if you attend that, you also get free admittance to the Alabama International Auto Show.

PESKY IDA: She no longer has a name but she played havoc along the Atlantic Coast yesterday and last night. The center of what was once Ida is now moving SE away from the coast. Even so, a weather buoy at Nantucket was reporting 20-foot waves this morning with 15-foot swells. The Long Island buoy had 22-foot waves. The storm produced 75 mph wind gusts at Oceana, Virginia and 74 mph at Norfolk. Almost 11 inches of rain at Langley AFB.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Little Miss Molly is a creature of habit. She has a set routine and she does not like for it to be interrupted. We had the carpet cleaners here this morning and it completely disrupted her. She was nervous. She kept pacing. We had her in the weather office with us to keep her out of the way. She demanded to sit on my desk. She walked across my keyboard 5 times. She sat on my worksheet with her little rear end and tail covering the whole thing. Sure am glad she made me go all the way on the early morning walk. I have never seen it prettier. Life goes on.
