...Stormy Start To The Weekend...

TAKE HEART—DRY WEATHER ALL NEXT WEEK: From the e-mails I have
received and other messages, people are extremely sick and tired of so
much rain. So what do we have again today and tonight--more rain and
thunderstorms. Those storms increased in number and strength this
afternoon across Mississippi and moved into West Alabama. As a result,
the Storm Prediction Center issued a Tornado Watch that goes until
7:00 this evening for about the western one-third of the state. The
Tornado Watch extends as far east as Walker, Tuscaloosa, Hale and
Marengo Counties, but it did not include the immediate Birmingham
area. A Tornado Warning was posted for Pickens County.

NOW WHAT: A cool front has been moving ever so slowly eastward for a
couple of days. At times, I thought it was moving no faster than a
mule and wagon. The cooler air has already spread into West
Mississippi and overspreading a good part of Alabama tonight. When you
get up Saturday morning, temperatures will be well down into the 50s
and there is a chance that the old backyard thermometer will have to
struggle to even get out of the 50s Saturday. I am afraid the rain
will linger through much of tomorrow morning, but mostly gone by the
middle of the day. After that, dry weather for at least five days in a
row. That should be such good news that we should throw a street
party. It is going to be rather chilly for the trick-or-treaters
Saturday night. Temperatures should be in the lower 50s by dark. It
looks like Sunday morning will be our coolest. We are calling for 42,
but some of the colder valleys in NE Alabama could easily have 36 or 38.

FOOTBALL WEATHER: First is the Magic City Classic. It is more than a
football game. Think of it as a huge family reunion involving
thousands! They arrive each October several days before the annual
clash between Alabama A&M and Alabama State. They meet with old
friends, lots of tailgating at Legion Field—you name it. There will be
a parade Saturday with a kick off at 2:30. It will be much cooler with
a good chance of rain into the early part of the game, so you will
need a jacket and rain gear. It will do good to get up to 60 at kick
off and falling into the 50s. For high school games tonight, wet
weather for most of the games, mainly over the western half of the
state and some strong storms possible. In other college games,
Concordia will be at Miles at 6:00 this evening. Looks wet with a good
chance of rain and maybe some strong storms. In the 60s at kick off,
dropping to 58 in the second half. Depaw will be at Birmingham
Southern for a noon kick off on Saturday. Rain should be diminishing
at that time but a lot cooler. About 58 at kick off and mid 50s in the
second half. UAB is as far in West Texas as you can go and still be in
Texas. They are in El Paso to play the University of Texas/El Paso
with a 2:00 p.m. kick off. All sunshine with game-time temperatures 65
to 70. Ole Miss will be at Auburn for an early kick off at 11:21 a.m.
Good chance of rain and a few thunderstorms, but they should be
decreasing. Much cooler with middle 60s through the game. Jack State
will be at Clarksville, Tennessee to play Austin-Peay for a 4:00 p.m.
kick off. Dry weather, but very cool, with 56 at kick off and 48 by
the end of the game.
