FIREBALL: Scroll down for the update on last night’s blazing streak across the sky at 5:30 p.m. NASA’s Bill Cooke firmly believes there are meteorites on the ground somewhere over North Alabama. I will pass along updated information on a possible location when we hear from him again.
COLD OCTOBER MORNING: We begin the day with a few spots below freezing… here are some 5:00 a.m. observations…
Fort Payne 28
Valley Head 28
Black Creek (just northeast of Gadsden) 29
Cullman (AG station) 32
Scottsboro 32
Fayette 34
Concord 34
We warm nicely today with most spots rising into the mid 60s with a good supply of sunshine. For the trick or treaters tonight, the sky will be clear with temperatures falling through the 50s this evening, hitting the 40s by 8:30 or 9:00.
TOMORROW/FRIDAY: Fine fall days. Another cold morning early tomorrow with frost potential (and a freeze potential for the colder valleys), then expect a high in the mid 60s tomorrow, and low to mid 70s Friday with lots of sun both days.
THE ALABAMA WEEKEND: Saturday looks fantastic… a sunny and mild day with a high in the mid to upper 70s. Could work our to be our warmest day in November. Then on Sunday, moisture levels rise and we will bring in the chance of a few showers with the approach of an upper trough/cold front. Showers remain possible Sunday night into Monday, but rain amounts should be light with only limited moisture.
Cooler and drier air blows in here Tuesday; we probably won’t get out of the 50s, and we head for the 30s early Wednesday morning. See the Weather Xtreme video for details.
STORM ALERT XTREME: Our annual storm spotter training is coming up November 10 at the BJCC, as part of the Alabama International Auto show. We begin at 9:00, and you will be done at 2:00. And, as a “thank you”, you will get free admission into the car show. There is no cost, and no need to register, just show up. Brian Peters will be the trainer, and we ask all existing and potential Skywatchers to attend. See you there!
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.
CONNECT: You can find me on all of the major social networks…
I will be doing a weather program this morning at Memorial Park Elementary School in Jasper… look for the next Weather Xtreme video here by 3:30 this afternoon. Enjoy the day!
