...Showers In Our Future...

Patches of clouds are drifting across Alabama on this Saturday
afternoon. With a good supply of sunshine despite the clouds,
temperatures are warming into the 60s at most locations. Moisture
levels continue to increase across the state and clouds will begin to
thicken as we head into the evening hours. As moisture levels
increase, it is not out of the question that we could see a shower
during the overnight hours.

FOOTBALL WEATHER: Louisiana/Monroe will be at
Tuscaloosa for a 1:30 kickoff this afternoon against the Crimson Tide.
Partly sunny, dry weather with temperatures peaking around 68 during
the game. The UAB Blazers will be in Memphis for a 2:30 kickoff.
Mostly sunny, 68 at kickoff and near 60 by the end of the game.
Auburn is resting up for next week's Iron Bowl battle…

FOR YOUR SUNDAY: A passing disturbance will give us a
chance of showers tomorrow. Temperatures will top out in the 60s.
Skies should remain mostly cloudy through the overnight hours with a
continued slight chance of a shower.

HOLIDAY WEEK: Partly cloudy skies will prevail Monday and Tuesday
before the next disturbance in a series approaches Alabama. The
timing is not definite, but it appears that a band of showers and
storms will move through the state ahead of an approaching cold front
either late on Wednesday or early on Thursday. This will be followed
by clearing and cooler conditions.

FOOTBALL FORECAST: Louisiana/Monroe will be at
Tuscaloosa for a 1:30 kickoff this afternoon against the Crimson Tide.
Partly sunny, dry weather with temperatures peaking around 68 during
the game. The UAB Blazers will be in Memphis for a 2:30 kickoff.
Mostly sunny, 68 at kickoff and near 60 by the end of the game.
Auburn is resting up for next week's Iron Bowl battle…speaking of which…

IRON BOWL FORECAST: Not much consistency in the model output for
next Saturday, so a very low confidence forecast. For now, it looks
like there could be a chance of rain during the game with very cool
conditions.

TROPICS: Nothing going on in the tropics as we wind down the 2007
North Atlantic Hurricane Season. The season count now stands at
fourteen named storms, including five hurricanes. Two of the
hurricanes grew into major hurricanes (category three or higher.)

LEONIDS: The annual Leonids meteor shower will peak
tonight as the Earth passes through the dust of Comet Temple-Tuttle.
The only problem is that clouds may obscure the show. If you are
lucky enough to have clear skies, the best chances for viewing a few
shooting stars will be after midnight.

ON THIS DATE IN 2001: Dense fog in the San Joaquin
Valley of California reduced visibilities to less than 150 feet.
Highway Patrol cars had to "pace" groups of vehicles on interstates in
order to prevent accidents from occurring. Repeat occurrences were
reported on the 18th and 19th also.
