...Maximum Sunshine Again Today...

NOBODY GRIPING ABOUT THIS WEATHER: Well, I guess somebody somewhere
might have a complaint, but seems like everybody is loving this fall
weather. Expect another sunny day today with a sunny sky, low
humidity, and a high in the mid 70s following a chilly start in the
40s. Very similar weather tomorrow, but things will change before the
week is over.

TO THE WEST: A vigorous upper trough will bring a chance of strong to
severe thunderstorms to the Great Plains today, but an even more
significant severe weather threat is likely tomorrow in the broad area
from Jackson and Memphis to Kansas City and Omaha. Parameters suggest
an enhanced severe risk tomorrow for places like Tulsa and Fort Smith.
Some of the storms in that region could produce large hail, damaging
wind, and even a few isolated tornadoes.

The disturbance will impact Alabama on Friday with a good chance of
showers and thunderstorms. A few strong storms are certainly possible,
but for now the instability seems to be lacking for a major severe
weather threat. We are projecting rain totals of 1/2 inch, with
isolated amounts to one inch. And, the band of showers and storms
should be moving at a good clip, so we don't expect any flooding
issues. The main window for showers and storms will come in the 6:00
a.m. to 6:00 p.m. time frame; there is a decent chance the rain will
be over in time for high school football games Friday night, but
certainly no guarantee at this point.

DRY WEEKEND: The sky will clear late Friday night, and the weekend
looks very nice with ample sunshine Saturday and Sunday, along with
highs in the 70s and lows in the 48 to 52 degree range.

FOOTBALL WEATHER: Both Alabama and Auburn are on the road this
weekend, so here is an early look. For the Auburn/Tennessee game at
Neyland Stadium Saturday evening (6:45 p.m. kickoff), the sky should
be mostly fair with a kickoff temperature of 68 degrees, dropping to
near 60 by the end of the game. Alabama plays Kentucky at Lexington
(11:30 a.m. kickoff)… the sky will be cloudy with just an outside risk
of a shower during the game. Kickoff temperature near 63 degrees, then
hovering in the low to mid 60s through the game. We should also note
UAB has a home game tomorrow night at Legion Field in Birmingham; they
will host Southern Miss at 7:00 p.m. The weather will be dry and
pleasant, although clouds will be increasing. The kickoff temperature
will be near 75 degrees, falling into the upper 60s by the final
whistle.

FALL CHILL: Yesterday's official low at the Birmingham Airport was 49
degrees; the last time it was that cool was on May 19 when the low was
also 49 degrees. The coolest place we could find statewide was Fort
Payne with 41 degrees; Hamilton dropped to 42, and the low at Valley
Head was 43.
