...Rain Returns Over The Weekend...

ONE MORE SUNNY DAY: Today promises to be another very pleasant fall day for Alabama with a sunny sky and a high in the mid 60s this afternoon, following a rather chilly start this morning. While we enjoy the nice day, to the west a storm system will begin to organize in the West Gulf of Mexico, and that will bring changes in our weather as we get into the weekend.

Clouds will move into the state tonight, and initially rain will begin around Mobile Bay. The rain will spread northward, perhaps reaching Tuscaloosa and Birmingham by afternoon. Then, tomorrow night, the surface low is expected to be just north of Mobile, which means widespread rain is likely for the northern half of the state. The rain will taper off Sunday from west to east, but some rain is possible all the way through Sunday afternoon for the eastern counties of the state. With the models trending northward with the placement of the surface low, it now looks like rain amounts of 1/2 to 1 inch are likely along the I-20 corridor, with potential for amounts well over one inch to the south. All of the rain should be gone by Sunday night.

FOOTBALL WEATHER: Excellent weather for the remaining high school football playoff games tonight; the sky will be mostly fair, with temperatures in the mid 50s at kickoff, falling to near 50 by the fourth quarter. Tomorrow, Alabama will host Chattanooga at Bryant-Denny Stadium with an 11:20 a.m. kickoff. The sky will be mostly cloudy, and some light rain is possible during the game, especially the second half. The kickoff temperature will be near 58 degrees, rising into the low 60s during the game. UAB is on the road; they will play East Carolina Saturday at 2:30 at Greenville, North Carolina. The sky will be partly sunny with a kickoff temperature around 65 degrees, falling into the upper 40s by the final whistle. Auburn has the day off.

OVER THE RIVER AND THROUGH THE WOODS: Many will be off to grandma's house next week. For now, the weather looks pretty benign all week across the Deep South. The global models have backed off on the idea of a major storm system on Tuesday; the bulk of the energy now seems to be well to the north of Alabama, so we will mention just a chance of a shower Tuesday afternoon. The rest of the week will be dry, and cooler air should arrive on Thanksgiving Day. Again, the models have backed off a bit on the depth and intensity of the cold air, so Thursday and Friday look cool and dry with seasonal temperatures. We will be much more specific over the weekend.

ON THIS DATE IN 1900: A late season outbreak of tornadoes kills 77 people in Arkansas, Mississippi and Tennessee. A group of students and a teacher trying to escape an approaching tornado in Arkansas were injured when the twister overtook them. It had missed the school building entirely.
