...Cooler Days Ahead...

Time to sail into the Labor Day holiday weekend. Temperatures will be
pleasant, and the chance of rain for any spot is so small is really isn't
worth the mention in our formal forecast. We will continue to forecast highs
in the 80s and lows in the 60s, not too far from normal levels for early
September in Alabama.

FOOTBALL WEATHER: Fall must be getting close; this is opening weekend for
both high school and college football here in Alabama. For the high school
games tonight, the sky will be mostly fair; temperatures will be around 80
degrees at kickoff time, with the mercury falling through the 70s during the
game.
Alabama hosts Hawaii tomorrow night at the newly expanded Bryant-Denny
Stadium in Tuscaloosa; the game will kick off shortly after 6:00 with a
clear sky. The kickoff temperature will be about 85, falling into the upper
70s by the end of the game. Auburn will host Washington State. When that
game kicks off at 6:45 at Jordan-Hare Stadium, the sky should be fair with a
temperature near 80, falling into the low to mid 70s by the fourth quarter.
UAB will be on the road; they will take on the Oklahoma Sooners at Oklahoma
Memorial Stadium in Norman (6:00 p.m. kickoff). The sky will be mostly
cloudy, and a passing shower or storm will be possible, mainly during the
first half. At kickoff the temperature will be near 78 degrees, falling into
the mid 70s during the game.

TROPICAL WEATHER: Ernesto moved into the southern North Carolina coast last
night, and will be moving northward today bring the risk of heavy rain and
flash flooding to parts of North Carolina, Virginia, and the middle Atlantic
coast region (including Washington, D.C.). The system will slowly wind down
as it continues to move over land.

In the eastern Pacific, Hurricane John, a category two storm packing
sustained winds of 105 mph, and will pass over the southern tip of Baja
California today. A hurricane warning remains in effect for Cabo San Lucas.

And, out in the central Pacific, Super Typhoon Ioke continue to pack
sustained winds of 155 mph with gusts to 190 mph. Ioke passed almost
directly over Wake Island yesterday. According to press reports there was a
storm surge of 40 feet. The highest elevation on Wake is only 20 feet so the
results are obvious.

And, in the eastern Atlantic, a tropical wave about 800 miles west/southwest
of the Cape Verde Islands is becoming better organized as it moves to the
west/northwest.

ATLANTA SOAKED: Atlanta's rain total yesterday was 4.30", with some flooding
in parts of the city.
