...Clouds Still Hanging Around...

CLOUDS, BUT MOSTLY DRY: Our weather won't change much today; rather dreary with a persistent cloud cover, but the moisture is very shallow, and no rain is expected during the day. Temperatures will struggle to reach the low 60s this afternoon, only slightly warmer than the past two days. Then, tonight, a surface front moves through the state. We might see a few isolated showers along the front, but most communities will stay dry, and for now we won't mention any chance of rain in our formal forecast. Following the front, tomorrow should be a little brighter as the sky becomes partly sunny. The high tomorrow should be in the low to mid 60s.

THANKSGIVING HOLIDAY FORECAST: A deep upper trough is forecast to develop over the eastern third of the nation, and promises to deliver sharply colder air into Alabama and the Deep South Thursday. Thanksgiving Day looks very chilly and breezy with a mix of sun and clouds. We will forecast a high close to 50, but we should stay in the 40s much of the day. The wild crowd of shoppers that hit the streets during the pre-dawn hours Friday will need to dress warmly; it looks like we will be down in the 28 to 32 degree range at daybreak Friday with a clear sky. Friday will be sunny but cool with a high around 50 degrees.

The weather stays dry through Sunday with a slow warming trend; it looks like afternoon highs will rise into the low to mid 60s Saturday and Sunday with a good supply of sunshine both days.

FOOTBALL WEATHER: Sure looks like a tremendous day for this year's Iron Bowl Friday afternoon at Jordan-Hare Stadium in Auburn. The sky will be sunny with a kickoff temperature near 50 degrees at 1:30, then falling into the 40s during the second half as darkness falls over Lee County. Expect a north breeze at 6 to 12 mph during the game. And, for the high school football playoff games Friday night, the weather will be clear and cold with temperatures generally in the 40s. Some stadiums could be in the 30s during the second half, so a good warm jacket will be in order Friday night.

U.S. TRAVEL WEATHER: The good news is that there will be no major winter storms, severe weather threats, or heavy rain events around the nation during the holiday period. Looks like about 80 percent of the nation will be dry tomorrow; some rain is likely over the Florida peninsula and the upper end of the Pacific Northwest coast. And, around the Great Lakes, snow showers are likely, but no serious accumulations are expected. Weather should not be a reason for airport delays tomorrow.

EIGHT YEARS AGO TODAY: The largest tornado outbreak in Alabama's recorded history occurred on November 24, 2001, as 34 tornadoes occurred during a 24-hour period and affected counties in the northern two-thirds of Alabama. Four people died. More than 70 people were injured. The deaths occurred near Millport, in Lamar County, and Sand Rock in Cherokee County.
