Warm, Dry Weather Continues Tomorrow; Showers Arrive Saturday

| November 3, 2022 @ 2:53 pm

SUNNY NOVEMBER DAY: Temperatures are in the 75-80 degree range across Alabama this afternoon with a good supply of sunshine… tonight will be clear with a low in the 50s.

Tomorrow will be another sunny day for Alabama with a high not too far from 80 degrees.

THE WEEKEND: Clouds move in late tomorrow night, and a weakening band of showers will push into North and West Alabama during the mid to late morning hours Saturday. The best chance of showers Saturday will be from Birmingham north and west; a decent part of East Alabama could very well stay dry. There could be a rumble of thunder near the Mississippi state line, but there is no risk of severe storms, and rain amounts should be light (mostly under 1/4 inch). The sky will be mostly cloudy, and the high Saturday will be in the mid 70s.

At this point Sunday looks mostly dry with only isolated showers… otherwise expect a mix of sun and clouds with a high between 77 and 80 degrees.

NEXT WEEK: Temperatures will be close to record levels Monday with highs in the 80-83 degree range; the sky will be partly to mostly sunny. The weather stays dry Tuesday, but global models are hinting at a fetch of moisture coming in here from the east over the latter half of the week with a chance of some rain at times along with a cooling trend. See the daily Weather Briefing video for maps, graphics, and more details.

TROPICS: Lisa is now a tropical depression inland over Mexico; it will emerge into the Bay of Campeche tonight, where it is expected to dissipate by Saturday. And, in the North Atlantic, Martin will become a cold core, extratropical system tonight far from land.

Elsewhere, a large non-tropical low pressure system is expected to develop this weekend across the northeastern Caribbean sea and southwestern Atlantic. The system is expected to initially be very broad and disorganized, but environmental conditions could support gradual subtropical or tropical development beginning early next week while it moves generally northwestward or westward over the southwestern Atlantic.

FOOTBALL WEATHER: The sky will be mostly fair tomorrow night for the high school playoff games; temperatures will fall from the low 70s at kickoff, into the upper 60s by the final whistle.

UAB will host UTSA Saturday at Protective Stadium in downtown Birmingham (2:30p CT kickoff)… the sky will be cloudy with a chance of showers during the game. Temperatures will be in the low to mid 70s.

Auburn will take on Mississippi State in Starkville Saturday evening (6:30p CT kickoff)… the sky will be cloudy; it looks like there is a decent chance the rain will end by kickoff… just an outside risk of a shower during the first half. Temperatures will be in the low 70s at kickoff, and in the upper 60s by the final whistle.

And, Alabama will be in Baton Rouge to play LSU in “Death Valley” (6:00p CT kickoff)… the sky will be cloudy with a lingering shower possible during the first quarter, but like the situation in Starkville it looks like most of the widespread rain will be over by kickoff. Temperatures will be close to 70 degrees during the game.

We note that is rain is likely in both Starkville and Baton Rouge during the day Saturday before the games. Not raining all day, but occasional rain with potential for some thunder.

ON THIS DATE IN 1966: An early season snowfall for Alabama, which started on the 2nd… the winter storm whitened the ground from Alabama to Michigan. Mobile had their earliest snowflakes on record; Huntsville had 4 inches of snow.. Louisville, Kentucky measured 13.1 inches, Nashville; Tennessee reported 7.2 inches.

ON THIE DATE IN 2007: Dense fog in the early morning hours resulted in a 100 vehicle pile-up just north of Fowler, CA on I-99. Two people were killed, and 41 others were injured. The thick seasonal fog is known as “Tule fog” and typically occurs in Central California in late fall and winter.
