...Happy Thanksgiving!...

COOLER AIR INVADES ALABAMA: A sharp upper trough is developing over the eastern third of the nation on this Thanksgiving morning, and will bring a shot of colder air down into Alabama. Temperatures today will be about 10 degrees cooler than yesterday; most places will see a high somewhere between 50 and 55 degrees despite a good supply of sunshine. A gusty north wind will make it feel cooler. Then, tonight, as the wind dies down, temperatures will drop quickly, and we will be around the freezing mark by daybreak tomorrow. Early shoppers will need to bundle up with early morning temperatures in the 28 to 34 degree range. Tomorrow will be another sunny and cool day with a high in the mid 50s.

Our weather stays dry Saturday and Sunday. While we will begin Saturday with a light freeze, we will warm into the low to mid 60s Saturday, with mid to upper 60s Sunday afternoon as the warming trend continues.

FOOTBALL WEATHER: For tomorrow's Iron Bowl at Jordan-Hare Stadium, ideal weather for the 1:30 kickoff, no chance of rain at all, a clear sky and temperature peaking around 55 early in the game, but dropping into the 40s by the fourth quarter as the sun sets. For tomorrow night's high school playoff games, cold is the word. With a clear sky, temperatures will fall from the upper 40s at kickoff into the upper 30s by the final whistle. Saturday, Central Florida is at UAB for a 12:30 game at Legion Field. The temperature will reach 62 in the first half and in the 50s for the second half. The sky will be sunny with a light east breeze.

OUR NEXT RAIN: A vigorous storm system will impact Alabama early next week, and will bring our next rain event on Monday. Based on the dynamics involved, some thunderstorms seem likely, but at this time we are not expecting a major severe weather threat due to the lack of instability. Looks like this system has the potential to bring one inch of rain to the state. The rain will end Monday night or early Tuesday, followed by cooler and drier air for mid-week.

ACROSS THE FRUITED PLAIN: Relatively calm weather continues for much of the nation; scattered rain and snow showers will continue around the Great Lakes under the upper trough, and rain is likely for much of the Northeast U.S. For today's Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City, the sky will be cloudy with temperatures in the 40s. Rain will likely move into the Big Apple after the parade is over later this afternoon and tonight.

ON THIS DATE IN 1988: Thunderstorms produced severe weather over the Central Gulf Coast States during the late morning and afternoon hours. Five tornadoes were reported in Mississippi, with the tornadoes causing a million dollars damage at Ruleville, and in Warren County.
