...Nice Weekend...

We are getting off to a chilly start across Central Alabama on this Saturday after Thanksgiving. Temperatures are near freezing or below in most spots. But things will begin to warm up today as surface high pressure to our south slides east and allows for a return southern flow across the state.

WEEKEND WEATHER: Today and tomorrow will be partly cloudy across the area. Highs both days will top out in the middle 60s. Lows tonight will drop to around 40. Clouds will be thickening tomorrow night as a strengthening upper trough swings southeastward towards Alabama. With increasing moisture, rain chances will increase Sunday night and lows will drop to only around 50.

FOOTBALL FORECAST: Central Florida will be in Birmingham to play UAB Saturday with a 12:30 p.m. kick off. The temperature should get to a fairly comfortable 65 during the game, but maybe in the 50s by the final whistle.

A NEW WORK WEEK: A cold front will be knocking at the door of Northwest Alabama by Monday morning, and this means a good chance of showers during the day on Monday. With the clouds and precipitation, temperatures will top out in the middle 50s. Rain will end from t he west late Monday and temperatures Monday night will fall to near 40 over Central Alabama, with a few 30s over northern sections. By Tuesday morning, low pressure will be forming over the western Gulf of Mexico. This low will move to the northeast, spreading rain back into Alabama late Tuesday night and Wednesday. The highest rain chances and heaviest rainfall amounts will be over South Alabama. Expect clearing skies and colder conditions for Thursday, with a freeze likely deep into Central Alabama by Friday morning. Friday looks partly cloudy and cool, with highs perhaps remaining in the 40s.

NEXT WEEKEND AND BEYOND: High pressure will be sliding off to our east by the weekend, allowing for a gradual return of moisture and warmer temperatures. It will also set the stage for rain chances by the following Monday. The latest runs of the GFS depict a big wet weather system on the 7th and 8th, followed by some cold air into Alabama and the Deep South.

WEATHERBRAINS: I hope you heard our 200th episode. Cleveland TV legend Dick Goddard joined Ohio weather historian Thomas Schmidlin and the WeatherBrains guys to talk some weather. This week, Roger Hill, one of the greatest storm chasers around joins the panel. Listen at www.WeatherBrains.com or subscribe on iTunes. It's free!

ON THIS DATE IN 1921: New England was in the midst of a four day ice storm, their worst of record. Ice was more than three inches thick in many places following the storm, and property damage was in the millions of dollars. Northern New England received heavy snow with more than two feet reported in some areas. Overnight freezing rains continued through the day at Worcester MA while the wind increased to a gale. Streets become impassable even on foot, and whole towns were plunged into darkness without communication. The storm caused 20 million dollars damage to power lines, telephone lines and trees.
