...Great Weekend...

Your afternoon forecast is being prepared from an AMTRAK California
Pacific Surfliner train on the way to San Diego. I will check off my
24th Major League Baseball Park tonight, watching the Padres play at
PETCO Park. The weather here is beautiful. It's great back in
Alabama also.

LOCAL EVENTS: Our fabulous weekend weather is accompanied by some
tremendous events in Birmingham. Get downtown and checkout the
Sidewalk Moving Picture Festival. It is the tenth year for the
celebration of new independent cinema. Check out some films you
wouldn't otherwise see, at nine venues in the City Center. Passes are
very affordable. The Taste of 4th Avenue Jazz Festival is going on
right now at the Alabama Jazz Hall of Fame at 4th Avenue North and
17th Street. It starts at 12:30 p.m. with a cultural parade and
remarks by the Mayor at 1. Catch some fabulous jazz acts on into the
morning hours of Sunday. Admission is free. Tomorrow, at 3 p.m., the
Dan Tyminski Band will be featured at Vulcan Aftertunes at Vulcan Park.
Admission is $8 for adults and $4 for kids 5-12, free for 4 and under.

YOUR FORECAST: In a word, dry. That upper low over the eastern U.S.
is beginning to move on to the northeast. The low clouds that wrapped
into North Alabama are already dissipating. A
general northerly flow means little moisture for us. A fairly strong
cold front will move through Alabama on Tuesday. It will be mostly
dry, with just slight chances for a shower or storm. Behind the
front, drier air will flow. This will mean a nice taste of fall after
midweek, with highs in the 70s and lows in the 50s for the most part.
There will even be a few 40s.

KYLE AND THE TROPICS: Not to be confused with a new hot rock band.
Tropical Storm Kyle should get promoted to hurricane later today. It
will pass about 100 miles east of Nantucket Sunday afternoon, brushing
Cape Cod with tropical storm force winds. It will start curving north
northeast and brush eastern Maine with tropical storm or even
hurricane force winds Sunday night. Heavy rains will affect the
Northeast through Sunday night. Elsewhere over the Atlantic, a
disturbance over the Yucatan will move northeast crossing the Florida
Peninsula. Another disturbance midway between Africa and the islands
looks healthy but wind shear should inhibit further development for
the time being.

FOOTBALL FORECAST: Auburn hosts Tennessee at 2:30 at Jordan Hare
Stadium; the sky will be clear with a kickoff temperature around 79,
falling into the mid 70s by fourth quarter. Alabama is on the road;
they will play Georgia in Athens Saturday evening at 6:45. 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; 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 1916: No one knew storm surge better than Isaac
Cline, the Chief of U.S. Weather Bureau Forecast Center for the Gulf
States in New Orleans. Cline had been in charge of the Weather
Bureau Office in the Galveston during the deadly 1900 hurricane. In
his new job, Cline had established hurricane observation posts in Cuba
and Swan Island. They had given him advancee notice that a hurricane
was entering the Gulf. As water levels began rising on the Gulf Coast
in the morning of the 27th, he could read the signs. He predicted
that a deadly storm surge was imminent on the Gulf coast. It allowed
warnings to be passed to coastal residents on the Louisiana,
Mississippi and Alabama coasts. His predictions came true on the 28th
as the powerful hurricane made landfall over southern Louisiana.
