...Moist Air Hangs Over Alabama...
A MUGGY LATE AUGUST DAY: We begin this day with tropical air
lingering across Alabama. This is the airmass that has supported
scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms for the last four
days, and we see no reason for showers and storms not to form again
this afternoon during the peak of the daytime heating process. The
storms will be aided by a weak upper air low northwest of the state,
and some leftover boundaries from thunderstorms yesterday and last
night. The stronger storms today will produce heavy rain, plenty of
lightning, and strong winds in a few spots. And, like recent days,
the main opportunity of showers and storms will come from about noon
until midnight, but a few scattered morning showers are not out of
the question.

A weak front will approach Alabama from the north tomorrow, but at
this time it looks like the dry air behind the front will generally
remain north of Alabama. So, the chance of scattered afternoon
showers and thunderstorms will continue tomorrow and through the
Labor Day weekend. Afternoon temperatures will peak around 90 degrees
on most days, slightly above normal for late August and early
September in Alabama.

PIGSKIN ACTION RETURNS: Some high school football teams will play
their opening games tonight; there will be a chance of a thunderstorm
at all game sites, but those storms will be scattered. The kickoff
temperature this evening will be around 82 degrees with high humidity
values. That is also what you can expect for the games tomorrow night
as well. The chance of any one stadium getting wet tonight and
tomorrow night is about one in four.

SATURDAY NIGHT LIGHTS: Alabama will host Western Carolina for their
home opener Saturday night at Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa. The
game kicks off at 6:07 p.m. We project a temperature of 85 degrees at
kickoff, and there is some risk of a thunderstorm in the area as the
game begins. Auburn hosts Kansas State Saturday night at 6:45; the
temperature at Jordan-Hare Stadium will be near 82 degrees at kickoff
with a thunderstorm possible.

TROPICS: A tropical wave in the Atlantic, about 700 miles east of the
Windward Islands, has the potential to become a tropical depression
today as it moves to the west. This system should wind up in the
Caribbean by the weekend. Another disturbance about 300 miles east of
Jacksonville, Florida also has the potential to become a tropical
depression in coming days; it will drift slowly and erratically due
to weak steering currents in the region.

THE RAIN PARADE: Rain totals across Alabama yesterday included 1.46"
at Steele (in St. Clair County between Ashville and Gadsden), 1.24"
at Meridianville, .92" at Cordova, and .57" at Gadsden.
