...Tropical Trouble To The South...

WET AND WINDY ALONG THE COAST: A developing tropical system in the
Gulf of Mexico promises to bring wet and windy weather to the Gulf
coast during the next 36 hours; periods of rain and a few
thunderstorms are likely in the general area from Panama City
westward to Gulf Shores, and a coastal flood watch is in effect for
this area. Rainfall amounts along the immediate coast of 2 to 4
inches are possible as a potential tropical storm will pass just to
the south. At this time, it looks like the tropical system will move
into Southeast Louisiana, most likely as a strong tropical storm, or
minimal hurricane at worst, during the day tomorrow. Thankfully it
won't have too much time over the warm water of the Gulf of Mexico to
grow stronger. If a a tropical storm does form as expected, it will
be called Jerry.

WHAT ABOUT NORTH ALABAMA? It sure looks like most of the rain will
remain over the southern third of the state today and tomorrow,
although a few showers could show up as far north as I-20 by tomorrow
afternoon as our tropical system begins to push moist air northward.
Scattered showers and storms are possible statewide on Sunday as the
moisture flow continues.
Right now the first half of next week is looking rather unsettled; we
will maintain a chance of scattered showers and thunderstorms Monday
through Wednesday as deep moisture stays in place, and a front slowly
approaches from the northwest.

FOOTBALL WEATHER: For tonight's high school games, there will be some
high clouds overhead, but most stadiums will be dry. We believe any
showers tonight will be generally south of a line from Anniston to
Montgomery, and on to Mobile. The kickoff temperature will be close
to 80 degrees with higher humidity levels than recent nights. Rain,
possibly heavy at times, will be a problem tonight for Mobile and
Baldwin Counties, close to the coast.

Tomorrow, Alabama will host Georgia at Bryant-Denny Stadium in
Tuscaloosa (6:45 p.m. kickoff)… the sky will be mostly cloudy, and
there is 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 cloudy sky. Some light rain is possible during the
game. 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 mostly cloudy with just a small risk of a shower; the
kickoff temperature will be close to 80 degrees.

ACROSS THE FRUITED PLAIN: National extremes yesterday… hot spot was
Arizona City, AZ with 100 degrees… coldest spot in the continental
U.S. was Meacham, OR with 23. Up in Alaska, the low in Arctic Village
was 19. In Barrow, Alaska, the high yesterday was only 35 degrees.
Big thunderstorms across the Upper Midwest dropped 1.26" of rain on
Minneapolis, MN.
