...Cool and Dry For Thanksgiving; Iron Bowl...

Indications are that we will experience a cool and dry Thanksgiving here in Central Alabama, with very few travel problems as folks heads to grandmother's house in the Southeast and even nationally. Weather for the all-important Iron Bowl looks dry and cool as well.

ON THE WEATHER MAPS THIS MORNING: In the mid levels of the atmosphere we find a weakening shortwave lifting into Virginia. This is remnant of the upper low that brought the weekend rain to Alabama. Lingering moisture will keep us cloudy through much of today. There could be a few sprinkles, but no significant rain is expected. Highs today will be limited to the upper 50s. Skies will begin to clear this afternoon, becoming partly cloudy overnight. Look for a low in the 40s tonight.

WARM TUESDAY, THEN TRENDING TO COOLER: An upper low rotating out of the Plains will push a front towards Alabama Tuesday. It should pass overnight, but not before we enjoy a very nice day on Tuesday, with partly cloudy skies and warm afternoon temperatures in the upper 60s. There could be a shower overnight Tuesday night or Wednesday morning, but it doesn't look likely. Temperatures will be slightly cooler on Wednesday, but the real cool down will wait until Wednesday night.

HOLIDAY FORECAST: Thanksgiving morning should dawn partly cloudy and cool, with a morning low of 40 on average. By the time you are
napping away a double dose of tryptophan, temperatures will be in the middle 50s. Things will get quite chilly Thursday night as colder air continues to seep into the state on northwesterly winds. Much of the area could see a freeze by Friday morning.

IRON BOWL FORECAST: Expect cool and dry conditions on the Plains for the annual Iron Bowl tilt. Kickoff temperatures will be in the lower to middle 50s, falling to near 50 by the end of the game.

WEATHERBRAINS: Tonight, Cleveland's legendary Dick Goddard will join Dr. Thomas Schmidlin and the WeatherBrains panelists for a celebration of Ohio weather history, a look at television weather and some weather folklore. Follow our tweets about the show: we are @weatherbrains at Twitter.com.

ON THIS DATE IN 1963: President John F. Kennedy stepped outside the Texas Hotel in Fort Worth to address an enthusiastic early morning crowd in a light rain. The President was kicking off his 1964 re-election campaign by making a swing through Texas, home state of his Vice President Lyndon Johnson. The weather cleared as Air Force One left Carswell Air Force Base in Fort Worth for the short hop over to Dallas' Love Field. As the clouds parted, President Kennedy commented to Governor John Connelly, "It looks like we will get sunshine." As the Presidential motorcade made its way through city streets thronged with 250,000 cheering Dallasites, Governor Connelly's wife Nellie told President Kennedy, "You can't say Dallas doesn't love you." The motorcade turned onto Houston Street, and made its way toward the hairpin turn onto Elm, where it would pass by the Texas School Book Depository. The rest is history.
