ALABAMA ONE CALL
KNOW WHAT'S BELOW
CALL 811 BEFORE YOU DIG

Whether planning to do it yourself or hire a professional excavator,
smart digging means calling 811 before each job to find out where
it's safe to dig.

Every digging project requires a call to Alabama One Call--even
small projects like building a fence, planting shrubs and trees or
installing a mailbox.

One free easy call to 811 or 205-252-4444 at least 48 hours
prior to digging:

* Gets utility owned lines marked for free!
* Complies with Alabama Act 94-487.
* Helps prevent undesired consequences and possible service
disruptions to your neighborhood.

...Wet For The Weekend...

ARRGHHHHHH! No, that's not the sound of a frustrated meteorologist
who is ready for the low pressure system that has outstayed its
welcome to go away. It's Talk Like a Pirate Day!

FOR YOUR SATURDAY: A warm, moist airmass is still in place across
Alabama. Some spots could see a little sunshine this morning, but
rain and storms could develop at about anytime. About 70% of the area
will see some rain, with some folks getting a real tropical downpour
that could cause flooding.

FOOTBALL FORECAST: North Texas is at Alabama (11:20 kickoff at Bryant-
Denny Stadium); a passing shower or thunderstorm is likely during the
game, with temperatures hovering around 80 at kickoff, possibly
reaching the low to mid 80s during the game. Auburn will host West
Virginia tonight (6:45 p.m. kickoff at Jordan-Hare Stadium); that game
will be played under a cloudy sky with the risk of a few showers. And,
UAB is at Troy this afternoon (1:30 p.m. kickoff); showers or storms
are possible during the game with temperatures in the low 80s at
kickoff.

THE WEEK AHEAD: Hey folks, this same pattern may be with us through
much of the week ahead. Showers and storms will be commonplace in the
tropical airmass with these same downpours possible. Look for another
3-5 inches of rain over the next 5 days.

SNEAK PEEK NEXT WEEKEND: A developing trough and approaching frontal
system may trigger widespread showers and storms next weekend before
allowing some drier air to finally move into the
state.

TROPICS: Fred's remnants just won't go completely away. The remnant
low will be near the Bahamas Sunday and South Florida Monday. It is
surrounded by dry air, but shear will relax, so there is a chance it
could become a tropical depression. The system midway between the
Antilles and Africa has a better shot at development, although the
global models have not been very bullish on this idea. We could see a
tropical depression form here over the weekend. The Atlantic is
eerily quiet for mid-September and we are grateful.

WEATHERBRAINS EPISODE 190: Rob Lightbown of Crown Weather Services
told about his company, which is based in Caribou, Maine. Also,
software developer Paul Brill discussed his NOAA NWS iPhone app.

ON THIS DATE IN 1967: Air Force reconnaissance measures a central
pressure of 923 mb in Hurricane Beulah over the Gulf of Mexico as the
storm threatened the Texas coast. These readings were the second
lowest aircraft measurements recorded up until that time.
Fortunately, Beulah weakened somewhat before she made landfall
landfall between Brownsville and the mouth of the Rio Grande on the
morning of the 20th. Follow my weather history tweets on Twitter
