...Wet Weather Ahead...

RAIN AHEAD: A low pressure system moving along the Gulf Coast will
gradually spread rain up into Alabama today. Some light rain could
begin as early as this morning, with more widespread and heavier rain
moving in this afternoon. The rain could continue for much of the
night, making for some wonderful sleeping weather overnight. Highs
this afternoon will top out in the upper 50s, perhaps reaching 60 in
spots. Lows tonight will be around 50.

FOR YOUR SUNDAY: Expect some leftover rain Sunday morning, with
clearing skies during the afternoon. Highs will be in the upper 50s.
Final rainfall amounts will be around an inch across Central Alabama.

SHORT WORK WEEK: By Monday morning, high pressure will be centered
near McComb, Mississippi. This will give us a fine mild day on
Monday, with partly cloudy skies. A cool front will pass through on
Tuesday, but not before we register highs in the 60s again. There is
a slight chance of a shower Tuesday afternoon.

HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS: Te busiest travel day of the year will feature
fairly benign weather across the country, including here in Alabama,
where northwesterly winds will be allowing cooler air to seep into the
state. It looks like Thanksgiving Day will be dry and cool, with
morning lows in the 30s and highs in the 50s. Friday looks good wit
partly cloudy skies and seasonably cool temperatures. Iron Bowl
weather looks fine.

FOOTBALL FORECAST: Alabama will host Chattanooga at Bryant-Denny
Stadium with an 11:20 a.m. kickoff. The sky will be mostly cloudy,
there will be increasing rain chances during the game. The kickoff
temperature will be near 58 degrees, remaining about there 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.

WEATHERBRAINS: Last week, we had an interesting visit with Mike
Smith, the CEO of Weather Data, Inc. He brought a lot of insight into
the world of private weather firms and the warning process. This
week, it's a look at Ohio weather, with Dick Goddard, long time
meteorologist on television in Cleveland and Thomas Schmidlin, who has
a great book on Ohio weather history. Listen at www.WeatherBrains.com

ON THIS DATE IN 2007: Herb Saffir, creator of the Saffir-Simpson
Hurricane Scale, died on this date of a heart attack in Miami. In
1965, Saffir, an engineer, developed the scale based on two decades of
research into the wind damage caused by hurricanes. He worked
tirelessly to improve building codes to help structures survive such
storms. In 1969, he collaborated with his friend Robert Simpson,
Director of the National Hurricane Center, to add storm surge and
central pressure information. Follow my weather history tweets on
