**No afternoon Weather Xtreme video today**

CALM PATTERN CONTINUES: No real change in the weather for Alabama through Thanksgiving week. Mostly sunny days, fair chill nights with highs in the 60s and lows in the 30s and 40s. Don’t see any need to mention any risk of rain for the next seven days, which is pretty amazing for November, which tends to be a wild month of weather around here.

TRAVEL WEATHER: Below is the forecast for midday Wednesday (12 noon CST) if you are on the road or flying… as you can see a large part of the U.S. will also enjoy calm weather…

FOOTBALL WEATHER: Looks great for the high school playoff games tonight; the sky will be clear with temperatures falling from near 52 at kickoff into the 40s by the second quarter.

Alabama will host Western Carolina tomorrow morning at Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa (11:21 a.m. kickoff)… the sky will be mostly sunny, with temperatures rising from near 60 at kickoff to 64 at the final snap. Auburn hosts Alabama A&M at 1:00 tomorrow afternoon… there will be a good supply of sunshine during the game; the kickoff temperature will be near 63 degrees, falling into the 50s by the fourth quarter as the sun goes low on the horizon.

Very similar weather for the UAB/Memphis game tomorrow afternoon at Legion Field (1:00 kickoff); lots of sunshine with a kickoff temperature near 64 degrees, but falling into the 50s late in the game as darkness nears.

WEATHER BRAINS: Don’t forget you can listen to our weekly 90 minute netcast anytime on the web, or on iTunes. This is the show all about weather featuring many familiar voices, including our meteorologists here at ABC 33/40.

CONNECT: You can find me on all of the major social networks…
