Nice But Cool Late November Day

I’m not sure you could ask for a prettier day than what Central Alabama has going for it today. Pretty until you step outside or take a gander at an outdoor thermometer. As you can see from the observations from across Central Alabama, temperatures have risen only into the middle and upper 40s. And there continued to be a brisk north wind.

I think you’ll agree that the sky is a beautiful blue today, and as the satellite image shows, the state was enjoying clear skies from border to border, both north and south and east and west.

The trough aloft will continue to migrate eastward today, tonight, and Monday, so after another morning with freezing temperatures, we should begin to see a warm-up that will carry into the Thanksgiving holiday. By Thanksgiving we will see lows in the 40s and highs well into the 60s. We’ll probably begin to see some clouds on Thanksgiving Day as the next system develops off to the west of us. That system is expected to bring our next shot at rain late Friday or Saturday.

That does mean that if you are making plans to attend the Iron Bowl in Auburn, you’d be wise to consider taking some rain gear. I’m not expecting any kind of all day rain, but showers appear to be a possibility during the game. We’ll be watching this system evolve and adjust the forecast as need as we get closer to the event.

In the meantime, Happy Thanksgiving to everyone.
