...A Summer-Like Weekend Ahead...

A FEW SHOWERS POSSIBLE TODAY: Todays weather will be very similar to
what we experienced yesterday; warm and muggy conditions with some
sun at times, and the risk of a few scattered showers as a very moist
airmass remains in place. The chance of any one spot getting wet
today is about one in four, and the high should be up in the low to
mid 80s.

THE WEEKEND: The air will become drier tomorrow and Sunday, and
accordingly we believe most of the weekend will be dry across our
state. We will still hang on to a small risk of a shower tomorrow and
Sunday, but any showers should be few and far between. The sky will
be partly sunny both days with summer-like warmth; the temperature
will climb into the mid to upper 80s on both days, about 10 degrees
above normal for this time of the year.

FOR SPORTS FANS: For high school football across North and Central
Alabama tonight, the weather will be warm and humid and a slight
chance of a shower. Temperatures will be near 80 degrees at kickoff,
then falling into 70s through the rest of the game. Tomorrow,
Vanderbilt will be at Auburn (11:30 kickoff), Houston at Alabama
(2:00) and UAB will travel to Starkville to play Mississippi State
(1:30). High temperatures will be well into the 80s at all three
games. There is only a small chance of a shower, although a slightly
better chance in Starkville. This is race weekend at Talladega. For
the Mountain Dew 250 tomorrow, temperatures at the Superspeedway will
range between 84 and 87 with only a small risk of a shower. On Sunday
for the UAW-Ford 500, few if any showers expected with temperatures
at the track peaking at a summer-like 88 degrees.

NEXT WEEK: We will begin the week with more warm and humid weather on
Monday and Tuesday; we expect highs in the 80s, and only a few
isolated showers around here. To the south, a tropical system will be
moving through the southern Gulf of Mexico. Environmental conditions
would see to favor this becoming a tropical storm, maybe even a
hurricane at some point on the journey westward. At this point it
looks like the most likely track will take it across the northern tip
of the Yucatan peninsula, and on into the main Mexican coast well to
the south of Brownsville, Texas over the latter half of the week.
But, a few models hint at a weakness in the ridge north of the system
that might cause a more northward turn. We will keep an eye on this
closely in coming days.

ALABAMA TIDBITS: Birmingham received only a trace of rain yesterday;
the rain deficit for 2007 now stands at 18.59". Hottest spots in
Alabama yesterday were Dothan and Mobile, both with 90 degrees.
Dothan did manage .14" of rain from a brief passing shower. The rain
total for Anniston was only 0.05", and Tuscaloosa received only 0.04".
