...Noticeably Cooler Today...

A COOL CHANGE: Our string of mild days with highs in the 70s has come to end, thanks to a cold front that is passing through the state this morning. A few patches of light rain will accompany the front, but moisture is very limited and rainfall amounts will be light and spotty. Many places won't get enough rain to measure; barely enough to wet the pavement. The light rain should move out of the state by early afternoon, and some sunshine could very well appear this afternoon.

The big change involves the temperature. We should hover in the 50s all day, meaning highs today will be around 15 degrees cooler than recent days. Most places will fail to reach the 60 degree mark today.

THE REST OF THE WEEK: Tomorrow will be a dry and cool day with a mix of sun and clouds and a high around 60. We will warm into the upper 60s on Thursday with a good supply of sunshine. The weather will stay dry during the day Friday, although clouds will likely be on the increase by Friday afternoon.

WEEKEND FORECAST: A low pressure center is forecast to develop in the Northwest Gulf of Mexico Friday afternoon, and rain will likely overspread the state Friday night as this feature moves northeast. We will have to carry a chance of rain into Saturday morning as the surface low moves through South Alabama. Then, the rain should end from west to east Saturday afternoon. For now it looks like the heaviest rain from this system will be over the southern third of the state, with amounts up this way in the 1/2 inch category. But, sometimes computer models don't handle weather systems very well in the southern branch of the jet stream in an El Nino pattern, so we will be watching for signs this disturbance might be stronger than forecast. Saturday will be a cool day with morning rain and temperatures in the 50s all day. Sunday will be brighter and warmer with a sunny sky and a high in the 60s.

THANKSGIVING WEEK: Many say this is the busiest travel week of the year, so weather is a big deal. At this point it does like a significant storm system will impact Alabama with a good round of rain and storms on Tuesday; the weather then looks dry with seasonal temperatures (60s during the day, 40s at night) on Wednesday and Thanksgiving Day.

EXTREMES: The warmest place in the nation yesterday was Miami, Florida with 84; coldest was Huslia, Alaska with 44 degrees below zero. Coldest in the continental U.S. was Greeley, Colorado and Laramie, Wyoming with -6.

NOVEMBER SNOW: An intense, cold core upper low is spinning away over the nation's mid-section. Dynamic cooling underneath the cold core resulted in snow for parts of Kansas, Nebraska, and Missouri yesterday. Wichita, Kansas saw their first snow flakes of the season yesterday with a high of only 38 degrees.
