...Showers and Storms Remain Possible...

A SOGGY AIRMASS HANGS AROUND: This will be another day with a good
chance of showers and thunderstorms across Alabama as a moisture
laden airmass remains parked overhead. To the north, there is a sharp
front over Tennessee, which marks the leading edge of much drier air,
but the front is losing upper air support, and it should stall out
somewhere near the Alabama/Tennessee border later today. Like recent
days, most of the showers and thunderstorms will come in the noon to
midnight time frame, but a morning shower is not out of the question.
The high today will be generally in the 86 to 90 degree range.

A HOLIDAY WEEKEND AHEAD: Not much change through Labor Day; there
will be good decent intervals of sunshine each day, but also we will
have to dodge scattered, mainly afternoon and evening showers and
thunderstorms. Afternoon temperatures will peak in the upper 80s and
low 90s for most communities.

FOOTBALL WEATHER: For tonight's high school games, a shower or storm
will be possible at just about any stadium across Alabama, so we
suggest you take along the rain gear. The kickoff temperature will be
close to 80 degrees.
Tomorrow, Alabama plays Western Carolina at Tuscaloosa and Auburn
hosts Kansas State at Jordan-Hare Stadium. Both games are night
games. Temperatures will be 82 to 85 at kickoff and we cannot rule
out some scattered thunderstorms in the vicinity, especially early in
the game. Once again, be prepared for some rain in case a shower or
storm drifts over one of those venues.

AT THE BEACH: If you are headed to the Gulf coast for some relaxation
over the Labor Day weekend, there will be some scattered showers and
storms around each day, but on the positive side expect about 4 to 6
hours of sunshine each day. The high along the immediate coast will
be in the mid to upper 80s, and the sea water temperature at the
Dauphin Island Sea Lab on the Alabama Gulf coast last night was a
toasty 89 degrees (F). In fact, the water is quite warm at all buoy
locations across the Gulf of Mexico.

TROPICS: A tropical wave will approach the Windward Islands tonight,
and this system has the potential to become a tropical depression
during the next 24 hours. It will move through the Caribbean over the
weekend. Another disturbance about 250 miles east of Atlantic City,
NJ has the potential to become better organized today, but it will be
moving northeast, away from land, over the weekend.

STILL HOT: Some good periods of midday sunshine have helped to keep
maximum temperatures in Birmingham at or over 90 degrees all week;
the last time we had a high under 90 was on July 25, when the high
was 89. The average high temperature in Birmingham for the month of
August is an amazing 98.86 degrees.
