Today will be a sunny, cool November day with a high in the 57-60 degree range for most communities. The average high for November 20 (at Birmingham) is 64.

REST OF THANKSGIVING WEEK: It is a nice, calm weather pattern for Alabama and much of the nation. Around here we expect sunny cool days and clear cold nights through Friday. We rise into the low 60s tomorrow, but highs drop back slightly into the 57-60 degree range Wednesday through Friday. Another freeze is likely by Thanksgiving morning.

THE WEEKEND: Not much change. Dry air means sunny pleasant days and clear cold nights. The high Saturday will be in the mid 60s, backing down into the upper 50s Sunday. Lows mostly in the 40s, although 30s are likely for colder spots Sunday.

IRON BOWL: The biggest football game of the year in our state will be played in Auburn Saturday. The weather looks perfect for the Iron Bowl; a sunny sky with a kickoff temperature near 65 degrees, falling back into the upper 50s by the final whistle. No risk of rain. A remarkably nice day for the game at Jordan-Hare Stadium.

NEXT WEEK: The GFS model suggests our next chance of rain will be toward the middle of next week with an approaching cold front. See the Weather Xtreme video for maps, graphics, and more details.
