Cold Again Tonight

An all new edition of the ABC 33/40 Weather Xtreme video is available in the player below. You can subscribe to the Weather Xtreme video on iTunes by clicking here.

Temperatures will drop well down in the 30s again tonight, and while we are forecasting a low in the mid 30s, keep in mind another widespread frost is likely, and the colder valleys will head back into the sub-freezing range. Not as cold as this morning, but certainly well below average values for late October in Alabama.

WARMER DAYS AHEAD: The weather looks excellent through the weekend… each day will feature a sunny sky. The high tomorrow will be close to 70, followed by low 70s on Friday and mid 70s over the weekend. Early mornings will remain chilly; lows over the weekend will be generally in the 40s.

NEXT WEEK: We stay dry Monday through Wednesday, and the 12Z GFS continues the idea that the next good chance of rain will come at the end of next week, around Friday November 7, followed by a sharp change to colder weather for that following weekend (November 8-9). There might be some thunderstorms involved late next week if the air can become unstable.

TWITTER: Don’t forget, you can follow our news and weather updates from ABC 33/40 on Twitter here. And, my personal Twitter feed is here if you want to keep up with my adventures in life. Twitter is a short messaging service you can receive via the web, cell phone, or IM.

WEATHER BRAINS: Don’t forget you can listen to our weekly 30 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. You can even listen here on the blog; look for the player on the top left.

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 Saturday November 15 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), and learn from one of the most brilliant weather researchers in the country, our own Dr. Tim Coleman. 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.

I enjoyed speaking to a big crowd this morning at the Manufacture Alabama Environmental Seminar on climate change… I took the scenic route back so I would stop at Jim’s Pit BBQ for lunch in Billingsley. Great day for a drive.

Look for the next Weather Xtreme video here by 7:00 a.m. tomorrow….
