...No Jerry...

Tropical depression number ten chose a more northerly course than
initially expected as it crossed the Gulf of Mexico. Consequently,
it was too close to land to intensify. Good thing. The system
really looked like it was going to get going late Friday afternoon.
Some really interesting surface observations showing the small center
of circulation. A few tornadoes were reported in conjunction with
the stronger feeder bands over the Panhandle and South Alabama. The
center will continue west northwestward across southern Mississippi
today. Jerry is still on deck.

FOR YOUR SUNDAY AND BEYOND: As the low continues into Central
Louisiana on Sunday, the Gulf will be open for business across
Alabama with moisture increasing on the back of southerly winds
around the cyclone. Rain chances should be better over all of
Central Alabama. An approaching trough of low pressure will suck up
the remains of Jerry, shunting them northeastward. A ridge of high
pressure will build into Alabama from the east for Monday and
Tuesday. This will keep us drier, but with decent residual moisture
and good heating, we will see a couple of isolated showers or storms.
By midweek, an approaching trough and frontal system will mean good
chances for showers and thunderstorms on Wednesday night and
Thursday. The front may stall over the area giving us continued
chances of showers and storms on Friday.

FOOTBALL FORECAST: Alabama will host Georgia at Bryant-Denny
Stadium in Tuscaloosa (6:45 p.m. kickoff)…. the sky will be partly
cloudy, and there is just an outside risk of a shower during the
game. The kickoff temperature will be near 81 degrees. Auburn hosts
New Mexico State at Jordan-Hare Stadium at 6:45; the kickoff
temperature will be near 78 degrees with a partly cloudy sky. A
shower is possible. And, here in the Birmingham area, Samford has a
home game tomorrow evening against SE Missouri State (6:00 p.m.
kickoff). The sky will be partly cloudy with just a small risk of a
shower; the kickoff temperature will be close to 80 degrees.

EARLIEST READING IN 30s: On this date in 1983, the mercury fell to
39F at the Birmingham International Airport. It is the earliest
reading in the 30s ever observed in Birmingham.

ON THIS DATE IN 2005: As many as 2.5 million people jammed roads
leading out of Southeast Texas and southwestern Louisiana as Category
5 Hurricane Rita loomed in the Gulf of Mexico. The memories of the
devastation in New Orleans and the Mississippi Coast from Hurricane
Katrina were still fresh on the minds of many evacuees who heeded the
advice of local government officials to get out. Early in the day,
Houston was the target for the projected track of the extremely
dangerous hurricane. Later, the track shifted slightly to the east.
Roads leading out of Houston became gridlocked, with stories of
people taking hours to go only a few miles. Some drivers ran out of
gas, stuck in 100 mile long traffic jams for hours on end.
