...Lots of Weekend Sunshine...

WARMING UP FOR THE WEEKEND: Afternoon temperatures will trend upward for the
next three days, and by Sunday we will be around the 90 degree mark by
mid-afternoon. Early mornings will remain pleasant, however, and there is no
significant chance of rain through the weekend. You will probably begin to
notice increasing humidity levels by Sunday, however, and flow of moisture
will increase even more Monday as a cold front approaches from the
northwest.
Our next chance of showers and storms will come Monday afternoon, Monday
night, and Tuesday of next week as the front passes through the state. At
this point it looks like the system will bring average rainfall amounts of
one-half to one inch. A few strong storms are possible, but a major severe
weather threat is not expected at this time as the main dynamics pass north
of Alabama. Cooler and drier air will follow the rain for the middle part of
next week.

A PREVIEW OF WINTER: The same weather system that will swing the front
toward Alabama early next week will bring the first significant snow of the
season to the northern Rocky Mountain region over the weekend. High terrain
locations in Montana and Wyoming might see around one foot of snow over the
next 24 hours.

FOOTBALL WEATHER: Needless to say, the weather tonight will be ideal for the
high school football games across Alabama. Under a clear sky, temperatures
will fall through the 70s during the games with a light northeast breeze.

Tomorrow's big in-state college game comes down at Jordan-Hare Stadium,
where Auburn will host LSU at 2:30. The sky will be sunny with a temperature
of about 85 degrees at kickoff, falling to near 80 by the end of the game.
Alabama will host Louisiana-Monroe tomorrow evening (kickoff a few minutes
after 6:00) at Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa. The sky will be clear;
the temperature will fall from near 82 at kickoff to the mid 70s by the end
of the game.

UAB has a tough assignment this week; they will travel to Athens to take on
the Georgia Bulldogs. The game begins at 12:00 noon CDT, and will be played
under a sunny sky. Temperatures will hover in the 83 to 86 degree range
during the game.

TROPICAL UPDATE: Hurricane Gordon and Tropical Storm Helene continue to move
through the middle of the Atlantic Ocean on tracks that will keep them far
from the U.S. mainland. Elsewhere, the Atlantic basin remains quiet and
there are no systems threatening the Gulf of Mexico for the next several
days.

EXTREMES: Still hot in the desert southwest; the nation's hot spot yesterday
was Death Valley, CA with 110 degrees. Coldest place yesterday morning was
Doe Lake, MI with 29 degrees.
