...Breezy and Wet...

BACK TO RAIN: Most of Alabama enjoyed 8 consecutive days without a
drop of rain, so we all knew it had to end at some point. This is
November, after all, a month that often features wet and stormy
weather. Today's rain is all thanks to a late season tropical system
named Ida. The system peaked over the weekend as a hurricane over the
warm water of the Yucatan Channel, but it steadily weakened yesterday
over the cooler water of the northern Gulf. It continues to make the
transformation from a tropical system, to a cold core system that you
often see on weather maps during the colder months. Still, it will
bring lots of rain to our state today.

HOW MUCH RAIN? The axis of heaviest rain should run in the broad area
from Mobile to Anniston; in this region rain amounts of 2 to 4 inches
are possible, and some localized flooding problems are possible. Some
of the communities in this zone include Montgomery, Rockford, Alex
City, Ashland, and Lineville. To the west, amounts will be much
lighter. Rain potential for the Birmingham metro is for 1 to 2 inches,
with amounts under one inch to the northwest. In fact, parts of
Northwest Alabama most likely won't get much rain at all.

WHAT ABOUT WIND? Winds will be out of the east today, with low
pressure to the south and high pressure to the north. The wind should
average 12-22 mph today, with higher gusts on the ridges. Winds will
be a little stronger over South Alabama, but even there significant
damage is not expected; just a few scattered power outages.

REST OF THE WEEK: The remnants of Ida will turn to the east, and then
southeast, during the next 24 hours, and dry air will move back into
Alabama tomorrow as the sky becomes mostly sunny on Veteran's Day
with a high in the mid to upper 60s. Thursday and Friday will be
pleasant as will with a good supply of sunshine both days and a high
between 67 and 70.

WEEKEND PEEK: We are forecasting another delightful weekend for our
state with ample sunshine, and a high in the low 70s both Saturday and
Sunday. Looks like another great weekend for both high school and
college football.

STORM ALERT XTREME: Want to be trained as a storm spotter? Want to
join the ABC 33/40 Skywatcher team? Our annual training event, Storm
Alert Xtreme, is coming up on THIS Saturday November 14 at the BJCC
during the annual Birmingham International Auto Show. You will be
trained by the best SKYWARN trainer in the nation, our own Brian
Peters (he has trained over 6,000 Alabama storm spotters over the
years). We encourage all of our Skywatchers to attend this every year;
you simply cannot get enough training. We will begin at 9:30, and be
out by 3:30. And, everyone that attends Storm Alert Xtreme gets free
admission to the Alabama International Auto Show. There is no
admission charge, and no need to register. Just show up, but get there
early for a good seat. We had a packed house last year.
