Fabulous Fall Weather

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.

DRY THROUGH THE WEEKEND: If you like the weather today, you will love our forecast through Sunday. Sunny mild days, clear chilly nights. We should rise into the low 70s tomorrow, with mid 70s Saturday and Sunday. Mornings lows will be mostly in the 40s.

FOOTBALL WEATHER: Clear and cool for high school games tonight and Friday night with temperatures falling through the 50s and maybe into the 40s by the final whistle. In college football, Arkansas State will be the Alabama Homecoming guests at Tuscaloosa Saturday for a 2:00 p.m. kick off on PPV only. Temperature should be around 74 at kick off and upper 60s by the final whistle. Auburn will play Ole Miss in Oxford Saturday with an early kick off at 11:30 televised on Raycom. The temperature will pop out in the mid 70s later in the game. UAB will be at Hattiesburg to play Southern Mississippi in a night game. About 67 degrees for the 7:00 p.m. kick off and in the 50s by the end of the game.

NEXT WEEK: We stay dry through the first half of next week; the 12Z GFS is coming in weaker with the system we expect in here at the end of the week; if that run is correct we will see just a few showers Thursday night, followed by cooler weather Friday and Saturday, but nothing especially cold. This will probably change again; we will have a much better read on the rain potential by the time we get together Monday of next week.

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.

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 had a great time seeing the entire student body today at Donehoo School in Gadsden… be looking for them on the KIDCAM today at 5:00 on ABC 33/40 News! The next Weather Xtreme video will be posted here by 7:00 a.m. tomorrow…
