BLUE SKY: We have a cloudless sky across Alabama this afternoon with temperatures in the 60s over the northern counties of the state, and low 70s over South Alabama. Tonight will be clear and cool with lows mostly in the 40s, but colder pockets across North Alabama will dip into the 30s.
FINE FALL WEEKEND: The weather could not be better across Alabama. Sunny pleasant days and clear cool nights. We will be close to 70 tomorrow, followed by low to mid 70s Sunday. The low Sunday morning will be in the 40s.
NEXT WEEK: The weather stays dry Monday, but we will bring in a chance of showers Tuesday ahead of a sharp cold front. Some thunder is possible, but severe storms are not expected. Then, the coolest air so far this season rolls into the state Wednesday and Thursday. With lingering clouds and some drizzle, temperatures will likely hold in the 40s all day Thursday over the Tennessee Valley, with low 50s to the south. Lows drop into the 30s by Friday, and colder spots across North/Central Alabama will see a freeze by Saturday morning (November 23). See the video briefing for maps, graphics, and more details.
TROPICS: Tropical Storm Sara, with winds of 50 mph, is hugging the coast of Honduras this afternoon. It will move inland over the weekend, and NHC expects the system to dissipate over Mexico by Sunday night. Given the strong wind shear and cooler waters, no tropical redevelopment is expected over the Gulf of Mexico.
FOOTBALL WEATHER: A perfect night for high school playoff games tonight. A clear sky with temperatures falling through the 50s…
