An all new edition of the ABC 33/40 Weather Xtreme video is available in the player on the right sidebar of the blog. You can subscribe to the Weather Xtreme video on iTunes by clicking here.
RADAR CHECK: At 6:00 this morning… the overnight rain has ended for Birmingham, Tuscaloosa, Anniston, and Gadsden. Lingering light rain is south of a line from Heflin to Goodwater to Selma; that rain will end soon as it moves into Georgia.
The sky will clear from west to east this morning, and most everybody should be in bright sunshine this afternoon, but the day will be windy and colder with temperatures not getting out of the 50s.
Tonight will be cold, and most communities will drop into the mid 30s early tomorrow; some of the colder pockets could experience a light freeze. Then, the day tomorrow looks fantastic with sunshine in full supply along with a high around 60 degrees.
OUR WEEKEND: Fine fall weather, with mostly sunny days and fair, cold nights. Highs in the 60s; the low early Saturday will be in the upper 30s, with low 40s at daybreak Sunday.
FOOTBALL WEATHER: For the first round of the high school football playoffs tomorrow night, the sky will be clear with temperatures falling from the low 50s at kickoff into the 40s by halftime. Great night for football, just bring a warm jacket.
Alabama hosts LSU Saturday night in Tuscaloosa (7:00p CT kickoff); the sky will be clear with a kickoff temperature near 55 degrees, falling into the 40s during the second half. Auburn travels to Knoxville to take on the Tennessee Volunteers (11:00 a.m. CT kickoff)… the sky will be mostly sunny with temperatures rising from 55 at kickoff to near 60 degrees by the final whistle.
UAB is on the road; they play at Marshall Saturday in Huntingdon, West Virginia; the sky will be sunny with 52 degrees at kickoff, and 57 degrees by the end of the game. Doesn’t get much better for a November Saturday.
NEXT WEEK: The coldest air so far this season is due in here over the latter half of the week. We might see a few sprinkles, or a touch of light rain ahead of the cold air push late Tuesday night or early Wednesday, but nothing really significant. Not sure we can get out of the 40s during the day Wednesday, and 20s look likely at daybreak Thursday…
No sign of any severe weather for Alabama over the next 10 days.
WEATHER BRAINS: Don’t forget you can listen to our weekly 90 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.
