Leeds v. Cordova Weather Forecast

Leeds will be taking on Cordova in the class 3A final Thursday Dec 4th at 3:00 pm.





I will be doing a weather forecast everyday until game day. Unfortunately I will be traveling Thursday so no forecast on game day and no game for me!!!


Rain should be moving out by game time. There will be a dying cold front moving through the area late Wed night into Thur morning. Some storms are possible in the overnight timeframe. By game time the rain should be off to the east. The wind will be 5-8 mph out of the NW. The temp at kickoff will be 45 F, slowly dropping to 40 F by the final whistle. The sky will be overcast for the entire game.



GFS model forecast for 6:00 am - Game Day. The front is moving through central Alabama.


By noon on game day the dying front has moved through. Light drizzle may be possible for kickoff, but it should be a dry game.

Tuscaloosa Skycam

This image is from Tuscaloosa at about 1:00pm today. The Tuscaloosa regional airport is reporting light drizzle, cloud base of 300 feet and visibility is 1 3/4 mile. Current temp is 59.

Kickoff is in 1 hour...

Gametime Radar update

Looks like the rain continues to move AWAY from Tuscaloosa!!!

Game time is 3 hours away...waiting...

Tuscaloosa Remains Dry

As the latest radar images shows, the main area of rain is staying south of Tuscaloosa. Could it be that the stadium remains dry for the game?

Radar image is valid at 9:40 am Saturday.

Game time is in 4 1/2 hours...

Iron Bowl Forecast

If anything the latest model runs have come in a little drier. Still looks like the commute will be rainy, but by game time the rain should be moving off to the east. My best guess is that at kickoff there will be light showers and as the game progresses the rain will diminish. Notice by 6:00pm most of the rain is gone.

The temperature should remain stable in the mid to upper 50's for the game. So a light coat and rain gear would be nice to have.

1" Snow for Sunday and Flurries thru Monday ?????

The 12z GFS model is coming in! Its showing a 1" snow possible for B"ham for late Saturday night into Sunday morning. The picture below is valid at 6:00 am Sunday morning. It is predicting .10" which translate into 1.0" of snow.

Is this model correct? - probably not! but fun to look at and ponder.


The next picture shows flurries continuing through the day Sunday.


Will This Happen?
This model solution is only 4 days out so you have to give it at least some credibility. However, the earlier run, the 06z, was painting a nice day. With all that being said the even earlier model runs were hinting at rain for Sunday. The two big questions...(1)Will we see some ANY precipitation during this time frame? Can't wait until the 18z runs comes in tonight to see it's solution. (2) Will it be cold enough for it to stick if it does snow?

WAITING...
