...Dry Through Sunday...

SEVERE CLEAR: Look for another day of maximum sunshine for Alabama today with very dry air in place. Temperatures will remain cool, with most communities seeing a high in the mid 50s this afternoon. Tonight will be cold again with the possibility of another freeze by daybreak tomorrow. Then, a warming trend begins tomorrow afternoon with a high in the mid 60s under a sunny sky. We will rise into the upper 60s Sunday afternoon with sunshine through scattered high clouds.

FOOTBALL WEATHER: We continue to forecast a deep blue sky for today's Iron Bowl at Jordan-Hare Stadium. The temperature in Auburn for the 1:30 kickoff will be near 55 degrees, falling into the 40s during the second half as the sun sets. For tonight's high school semi-final playoff games, cold is the word. With a clear sky, temperatures will fall from the mid 40s at kickoff into the upper 30s by the final whistle. And, tomorrow UAB will host Central Florida at Birmingham's Legion Field at 12:30. The sky will be sunny with a temperature near 62 degrees at kickoff, falling into the upper 50s by the end of the game.

NEXT WEEK: A rather complex storm system will impact Alabama early next week. Computer model consistency has not been good, making for a low confidence forecast. But for now, we believe the system will come out in two pieces; the first round of showers will be Monday, followed by the second round on Wednesday. Between the two waves we figure rain amounts of 1/2 to 1 inch are likely. The chance of severe weather at this time looks low with a stable airmass in place.

TRAVEL WEATHER: No major storms for the nation again today, but some rain is likely for the northern part of New England, and scattered rain and snow showers will develop over the western third of the nation. Generally speaking, temperatures around the U.S. are very close to average values for late November.

ON THIS DATE IN 1898: The "Portland Storm," named for passenger ship S.S. Portland, that sunk off of Cape Cod, killing all 200 aboard, ravages New England with heavy snow and wind. 12 inches fall at Boston and 27 inches fall at New England, CT, Winds gust to 72 mph at Boston and to near 100 mph at Block Island, RI. A total of 56 vessels sank in Boston Harbor with 456 dead.

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.
