...No Rain Through The Weekend...

WARM DAYS, COOL NIGHTS: Not much change is expected in our weather
through the weekend; fabulous fall weather is the story with sunny
warm days and clear cool nights. Highs generally in the low 80s, with
lows down in the 50s. What a wonderful time of the year.

TO THE EAST: While our weather remains tranquil, a major coastal storm
will bring lots of wind and rain to the middle Atlantic coast region
today and tomorrow; tropical storm force winds are likely today along
the coasts of North Carolina, Virginia, and Delaware, spreading
northward tonight and tomorrow up to the New Jersey and New York
coasts. A High Surf Advisory is also in effect and there is a high
risk of rip currents. While this hybrid system is not technically a
tropical storm, the impact will be about the same.

ALSO IN THE TROPICS: The tropical disturbance north of Hispanolia will
move northward today, but development is not likely in the near term
due to hostile winds aloft. The rest of the Atlantic basin is quiet
for now. The hurricane season will continue until the last day of
November.

NEXT WEEK: The upper air wind pattern is forecast to amplify across
North America by the middle of next week, with a major upper trough
forming over the eastern third of the U.S. This will bring the coolest
air so far this season into Alabama in 7 to 8 days, with highs in the
low 70s, and lows in the upper 40s by Thursday and Friday of next
week. At this time we don't expect any rain for race weekend at
Talladega (October 4-5) with very pleasant temperatures.

FOOTBALL WEATHER: For high school games tonight and tomorrow night,
nearly perfect weather with a clear sky and temperatures falling from
the mid 70s into the 60s during the games. Auburn hosts Tennessee
Saturday at 2:30 (CBS) at Jordan Hare Stadium; the sky will be clear
with a kickoff temperature around 80, falling into the mid 70s by
fourth quarter. Alabama is on the road; they will play Georgia in
Athens Saturday evening at 6:45 (ESPN). The sky will be mostly cloudy;
the chance of a shower is only about one in five during the game.
Temperatures will fall from 77 at kickoff into the upper 60s by the
end of the game. UAB will be on the road to play South Carolina at
Columbia's Williams-Brice Stadium Saturday evening at 6:00 (ESPN 360);
just a slight risk of a shower with a kickoff temperature around 78,
falling into the 60s by the fourth quarter.

ON THIS DATE IN 1998: Four hurricanes were going on simultaneously in
the Atlantic Hurricane basin (Georges, Ivan, Jeanne, and Karl) when
Karl was upgraded to hurricane on the 5PM advisory. That was the first
time that had happened since 1893. After moving along the north coast
of Cuba on the 24th, Georges was crossing the Florida Keys on this
date, heading into the Gulf of Mexico. The storm had re-intensified
and had winds of 105 mph when it made landfall near Key West about
midday on the 25th.
