This is one of our most important forecasts of the year, with the "Iron Bowl" this weekend, and Thanksgiving just one week away. Of all weeks, this is not the one for a busted forecast. Since the situation is rather complex, I thought I would go ahead and take this space and go into a more detailed look at coming events:
IRON BOWL: For now, we expect a mostly cloudy and mild day on Saturday in Tuscaloosa, and we will have to mention a fairly decent chance of showers, and maybe even a thunderstorm. On the positive side, we don’t expect any severe weather or really heavy rain with the main dynamics weakening and passing to the north of Alabama. But, a shower will be possible at just about any time during the game. The 2:30 p.m. kickoff temperature will be near 70 degrees, falling into the mid 60s by the fourth quarter. It will not feel like November.
THANKSGIVING WEEK: We are looking at model output closely, which is trending back toward a solution that might bring a risk of severe thunderstorms to part of the deep south at some point Tuesday or Wednesday. We will have to continue a chance of showers daily on Sunday and Monday, and then a rather vigorous storm system will approach by Tuesday. It remains to be seen if Alabama can really get into the warm sector of the storm with very unstable air, but it is not out of the question. Based on the latest data, the greatest risk of severe storms in Alabama (if there is a threat) would be from Tuesday afternoon through early Wednesday morning. This is our fall tornado season, so we will have to be on our toes. Thanksgiving Day at this point looks cool and dry, with daytime temperatures in the 50s, and early morning lows in the 30s.
