...Busy Weather Office...

Things are going to be busy over the next few days in the old weather
office. Lots to talk about on this Saturday morning, so let's get
started…

GENERALLY DRY WEEKEND: High pressure is centered over North
Georgia this morning. This ridge of high pressure will continue to
keep us fair and dry through the weekend with only an isolated storm
or two, primarily over western sections. Highs will be right around
90 degrees both days. Lows will be in the 60s as some drier air
filters into Alabama from the east.

FOOTBALL FORECAST: Alabama has an 11:45 kick off this morning in
Nashville with Vanderbilt. Should be near 86 at kick off, but rising
to near 90 during the game. About a 1 in 4 chance of a thunderstorm
in the vicinity of the stadium at some point during the game. Auburn
hosts South Florida Saturday night with an 8:00 p.m. beginning. It
should be near 80 at kick off with little or no chance of rain. UAB
plays Florida State in Tallahassee at 4:00 p.m. Mostly clear weather
and a toasty 90 degrees at kick off.

GABRIELLE: The area of disturbed weather off the East Coast became
better organized on Friday. It was classified as a subtropical storm
late Friday night. A subtropical storm is still wind and rain, like
a regular tropical storm, but it does not have the complete warm core
of a pure tropical system. It still could assume full tropical
characteristics later today. Gabrielle will move west northwest,
intensifying as it goes, and should be a strong tropical storm or
subtropical storm by the time it makes landfall on the South Carolina
coast near Myrtle Beach Monday. A tropical storm watch is in effect
for portions of the Carolina coast. The storm will move inland,
dumping some very heavy rains on the Carolinas before it turns
northeast ahead of an approaching trough and parallels the coast
heading out to sea.

BENEFICIAL RAINS AHEAD/HUMBERTO?: The Gulf of Mexico is very
nervous. The GFS hints that a tropical low will develop over the
South Central Gulf over the weekend and head north. It would reach
the Louisiana or Mississippi coast by Tuesday morning. It will bring
lots of moisture and heavy rain with it. The low will drift into
northern Mississippi and curve into Northwest Alabama on Wednesday.
As it does, Alabama will find itself in the favorable right side of
the low pressure system, and rain should become likely. With copious
moisture present, rainfall could be heavy and storms could be
strong. Let's hope so.

ON THIS DATE IN 1965: Hurricane Betsy crossed the Florida Keys
during the early morning hours. Winds were estimated at 125 mph with
gusts to 165 mph at Big Pine Key. The lowest pressure in Florida was
reported at Tavernier with a reading of 28.12 inches. The observer
there reported being in the eye for nearly three hours. Damage from
wind and water is heavy in the Miami and Palm Beach areas. Four
people lost their lives in Florida. The hurricane immediately moved
over the warm waters of the Gulf and regained any lost intensity as
it turned northwest toward Louisiana, where it would reach land again
just before midnight on the 9th.
