...A Dry Weekend; Still Watching Ivan...

A very nice weekend ahead for Alabama with sunny warm days and clear
pleasant nights. For tomorrow night's Alabama/Ole Miss game in Tuscaloosa, a
clear sky with about 76 degrees for the 8:00 p.m. kickoff. Auburn travels to
Starkville to play Mississippi State. Lots of sunshine for the 11:30 a.m.
game with a kickoff temperature near 84 degrees, rising to near 90 by the
fourth quarter.

BIG BAD IVAN: The hurricane will rake Jamaica late today with winds
of 150 mph, gusting to almost 175. The general track takes Ivan from Jamaica
to the Grand Cayman Islands tomorrow, and then across Cuba Sunday, and into
the southeast Gulf of Mexico on Monday.

Ivan will be dangerously close to the west coast of Florida on
Monday and Tuesday. Some computer models suggest Ivan will turn into the
Florida peninsula, while others keep it in the Gulf, with a possible
landfall over the eastern Florida panhandle. The good news is that it is
unlikely that Ivan will be a category five storm at landfall on the U.S.
coast, but it still should be a major hurricane that will require many
evacuations and disrupt life for thousands.

All interests along the U.S. coast from New Orleans to Boston will
need to watch Ivan very, very closely through the weekend.

THE ALABAMA EFFECT: For now, we are going under the assumption that
Ivan will remain to the east of Alabama, and we are leaving our forecast dry
through the middle of next week. However, should Ivan make landfall at some
point from Apalachicola on west, we could be dealing with rain and wind by
Wednesday of next week. As always, the heaviest rain and greatest chance of
spin-off tornadoes will be along and to the east of the storm center.
