The long range outlook suggests mainly dry weather for the Thanksgiving weekend, with it starting off quite chilly.  All in all it looks like generally good travel weather next week, and a very good weather start to the holiday shopping season.

Enjoy the awesome weather today as it will be changing for the weekend.

Coldest weather overnight will be over eastern areas, but everybody will get down into the 30’s.  Friday will be a nice day with sunshine, then we will have a period of rain this weekend.

In the meantime, clear cold weather will be with us again tonight, and Friday will be a beautiful day with sunshine and afternoon temperatures reaching the middle 60’s.  Beyond that a low pressure area in the Gulf of Mexico becomes the main player.

The last of the clouds cleared out this morning, none to soon either.

Shield of low clouds finally breaking up.  Much of east and south Alabama have been clear all evening, and that is where the lowest temperatures and thickest frost are likely.  The clearing trend does suggest more uniform sunshine Thursday and Friday with temperatures responding just a bit.

Cold weather for the nice two nights, with dry conditions prevailing through Friday night.  A Gulf of Mexico low pressure area will likely bring us some rain this weekend.

With the exception of the eastern counties, everyone else is under cloudy skies.

Stubborn deck of clouds slowing the rate of temperature fall tonight.  Temperatures will probably bottom out near 40 with only patchy frost.  Skies will be generally clear area-wide Wednesday night, and that will probably mean more widespread frost.

The combination of a colder air mass and rather solid cloud cover made for very chilly conditions Tuesday.  The next 2 nights will be cold with lows in the upper 30’s. Only modest warming expected later this week.

Main effect of front will be to usher in cooler air for Tuesday and Wednesday.  Temperatures on Tuesday will be some 10-12 degrees lower than what we experienced on Monday.

Front will cause a few isolated showers, but rainfall totals will be light and spotty.  Front will usher in cooler air, though nothing like wintertime yet.

Enjoy the unseasonably warm weather today as cold front will change our weather the rest of the week.

Changes in our weather begin Monday.

Enjoy the weather this weekend.

More sunshine this weekend!

Hopefully you have plenty of outdoor activities planned for this weekend as the weather couldn’t be better.

That complex system, which includes the remnants of Ida, continues to pound the middle Atlantic coastline.  But it is also acting as a “traffic cop”, that is effectively slowing down the advance of the next potential shower maker.

The very dry air mass is creating an ideal set up for a large range of temperatures eash day.  The next few nights will be chilly, while the days will feature a slow warming trend.

We are in store for a stretch of great weather.

Next few nights will be chilly, but I do expect a warming trend for the weekend with temperatures returning to the 70’s. Looks like another great football Saturday.

A cool, noticeable breeze will continue through Thursday, but overall the next 4 days look nice with a generous supply of sunshine, and starting on Friday, a warming trend as well.

The rain has moved out of the area but the gusty winds will remain for one more day.

Record rainfall from Ida in Birmingham with a storm total of over 4 inches.

The remnants of Ida will slowly move away the next couple of days.  Our weather will improve for Veteran’s Day, but genuine clearing may be delayed until Thursday.

We’ve already received 1”-3” of rain from Ida with an additional inch or so still possible.

Tuesday will be soaking wet with rain, heavy at times, and enough wind to make umbrella handling difficult.  And falling leaves will clog some storm drains, and that will lead to some street flooding.

Unusual late-season storm will be a rain and wind machine, though the strongest winds will stay to our south.

Ida has experienced some significant weakening within the past 12-18 hours and is forecast to weaken even further.

Significant rainfall is expected in Central Alabama
