...Cool and Dry...

DRY THROUGH FRIDAY: Cool and dry weather will continue across Alabama through the rest of the week. We are forecasting a mix of sun and clouds today with a high in the upper 50s. Tomorrow and Friday will feature a good supply of sunshine with a slow warming trend. We will reach the low 60s tomorrow, followed by mid 60s Friday.

THE WEEKEND: A low pressure center is forecast to develop in the western Gulf of Mexico Friday night, and that feature will move east/northeast, spreading rain along the Gulf Coast. The latest global computer models have trended farther to the south with this storm system, and it now appears the heaviest and most widespread rain on Saturday will fall over the southern third of our state. We could see a little light rain as far north as I-20, but areas to the north will be dry. Otherwise, Saturday looks mostly cloudy and cool with a high in the upper 50s. The sky becomes partly
sunny on Sunday as the storm system moves on to the east.

THANKSGIVING WEEK: Our next chance of rain will come on Tuesday of next week when showers and thunderstorms are likely. Then, the weather turns sharply colder by Thanksgiving Day and Black Friday, which is also Iron Bowl day this year. We will be much more specific about the weather next week on Friday.

WATCHING THE ALASKA COLD: Bitterly cold air continues to build in Canada. Yesterday's high in Fairbanks was -14, which followed a morning low of -23. Coldest spot was Tanana with 45 degrees below zero. Some of this air will break away and move down into the continental U.S. by the middle of next week.

WINTER AWARENESS WEEK: This is the week set aside by the NWS in Birmingham to remind you that we do have occasional winter storm threats here in Alabama. The most serious is an ice storm, which happens after a long period of freezing rain, or liquid precipitation that falls when surface temperatures are below freezing. One of our most crippling ice storms came in January 1982. Trees snapped, pulling down power lines and putting as many as 750,000 Alabamians in the dark. Thousands had to be sheltered.

ON THIS DATE IN 1957: A tornado 100 yards wide was on the ground 27 miles across North Alabama from Rosa to near Albertville, killing three people. A home in the Susan Moore community in Blount County was thrown 500 feet killing one person.

WEATHER CALL: Weather call is our new system that provides you and your family a great way of receiving severe weather watches and warnings. When a severe weather warning includes your location, you will receive a phone call from Chief Meteorologist James Spann, 24 hours a day. You can also receive the warning by email with a detailed map of the threat area. You may also use any of the email addresses to set up the warning to be delivered by SMS text messaging to your cell phone. Sign up on the web at abc3340.com.
