...Scattered Showers Today...

A FEW SHOWERS: Moist air moved into Alabama yesterday thanks to a
broad low pressure area moving through the central part of the Gulf
of Mexico. With this tropical airmass in place, we will mention a
chance of scattered showers and thunderstorms across Alabama today.
The chance of any one spot getting wet is one in three, and where the
rain falls amounts should be mostly one-quarter inch or less. Not
exactly what we need to really make a serious dent in this drought.
The sky will be generally cloudy, and the high this afternoon will be
in the low 80s around here. The weather won't change all that much
tomorrow; more clouds than sun along with a chance of scattered
showers during the day. The air will be slightly drier over the
weekend, and at this point it looks like the weather will be
generally dry Saturday and Sunday with very warm afternoons and only
isolated showers.

RACE WEEKEND: For Saturday's Mountain Dew 250 at the Talladega
Superspeedway, there is only a small risk of a shower during the
race, and temperatures will be in the 84 to 87 degree range with
fairly high humidity values. It will feel more like a summer day.
Pretty much the same story for Sunday's UAW-Ford 500; a partly sunny
sky with race temperatures between 84 and 87, and only a slight risk
of a shower during the big event.

FOOTBALL WEEKEND: Summer-like weather is the story for Tuscaloosa on
Saturday, which is homecoming day on the campus of the University of
Alabama. Alabama will host Houston at Bryant-Denny Stadium shortly
after 2:00 p.m. The sky will be partly sunny, and the kickoff
temperature will be a toasty 86 degrees. Auburn will host Vanderbilt
at 11:30 a.m…. the temperature will be near 82 degrees at kickoff
with a mixture of sun and clouds during the game. Once again, the
chance of a shower will be small. UAB will be in Starkville to take
on Mississippi State (1:30 kickoff). Expect a kickoff temperature
near 85 degrees with just a slight risk of a shower during the game.

TROPICAL WEATHER: The low in the Gulf of Mexico should move into
Louisiana tonight with no significant development. Another tropical
wave, now in the vicinity of the Bahamas, will move across the
southern tip of Florida and into the Gulf of Mexico over the weekend.
Favorable conditions should in place over the southern Gulf for
strengthening during the first half of next week, so we will need to
watch this one closely. Too early to determine if the system will
continue moving westward toward Mexico, or it it will be pulled
northward toward the central Gulf coast.

ACROSS THE FRUITED PLAIN: The rain total in Fort Smith, Arkansas
yesterday was a whopping 6.48", with some flooding problems as well.
The hottest place in the nation yesterday was Imperial, CA with 101,
while the cold spot in the "lower 48" was Leadore, Idaho with 23.
Cold spot in Alaska was Anaktuvuk Pass with 12 degrees above zero.
