| November 17, 2021 @ 5:43 am

MILD NOVEMBER DAY: With a partly to mostly sunny sky, we project a high in the 72-76 degree range across Alabama today… the average high Birmingham on November 18 is 64. Clouds will increase tonight ahead of a cold front, that will bring showers to the state tomorrow. Moisture will be fairly limited, and rain amounts for most places should be 1/4 inch or less.

And, we should mention that temperatures will go the wrong way tomorrow over the northern third of Alabama. After starting the day around 60 degrees, temperatures will fall into the 40s by mid to late morning north of I-59. The colder air will reach Birmingham/Tuscaloosa/Anniston/Gadsden by early afternoon, and South Alabama tomorrow night.

FRIDAY AND THE WEEKEND: Friday will be a sunny but very cool day. After a low in the 30-35 degree range, the high Friday will be in the upper 50s for most places. Then, on Saturday, with a good supply of sunshine temperatures will reach the 60s by afternoon. The day Sunday will be dry with a high in the 60s, but rain will likely reach North Alabama Sunday night ahead of the next cold front.

THANKSGIVING WEEK: Rain will end early in the day Monday, followed by a clearing sky. Temperatures will likely hold in the 40s all day Monday with a brisk north wind. Then, Tuesday and Wednesday look mostly sunny and cool with highs in the 50s. The latest global model data suggests some scattered light rain will be possible over Alabama Thanksgiving Day and Black Friday with highs remaining in the 50s… See the Weather Xtreme video for maps, graphics, and more details.
