A Nice End to the Week

Except for a very cool morning, the end of the week is looking absolutely beautiful.  Highs on Friday are expected in the mid and upper 60s.  Unfortunately, a system moving up from the Gulf is expected to ruin the middle of the weekend with a good chance for some rain on Saturday and into Saturday night.  Rain should move out of the area early Sunday.  Next week, a weak cold front moves in by Tuesday.  Rain should be very limited with this one but we probably will get an isolated storm or two before it passes by Wednesday.

Looking into the long range, Thanksgiving Day is looking dry and cool for now.  Good news for the fans attending the Turkey Day Classic between ASU and Tuskegee.  Also good news for Iron Bowl fans.  The forecast looks just the same for "Black Friday" for both football fans and shoppers alike.  Stay tuned.  Remember, the longer range the forecast...the more errors may creep in.  We'll keep fine tuning the forecast as we get closer to next Thursday and Friday.

Have a safe and dry weekend!

From an earlier post...
El Niño will persist this fall and winter, but what exactly does that mean for Alabama?  El Niño and La Niña are phenomenon that occur in changing temperatures of the Pacific Ocean off the coast of South America.  In reality, something that far away does affect us here in the Southeast.  Expect a slightly wetter Fall and Winter, and also a cooler than normal next couple of months.  Severe weather in November and December will be likely, and the First Alert Weather Network Team of meteorologists will watch the skies so you don't have to....all you have to do is stay with CBS 8 for all of your weather needs!
