...Unsettled Through Saturday...

MOISTURE RETURNS: We are in store for rather unsettled weather through
the first half of the weekend as moist air flows northward into
Alabama, and a major upper trough approaches from the west. A few
scattered showers are possible across the state today and tonight, but
rain should be rather light and spotty. The sky will be generally
cloudy, and we warm into the upper 70s.

Tomorrow will be mild and breezy with high back in the mid to upper
70s, and we will mention the chance of scattered showers and storms.
But, it certainly won't rain all day, and we should see a few
intervals of sunshine. The most active weather will remain west of
Alabama through tomorrow, where the dual threat of severe
thunderstorms and flash flooding will exist. The main band of showers
and storms associated with the upper trough probably won't get here
until late Saturday afternoon or Saturday night. Based on the strength
of the upper dynamics and the expected instability, it looks like we
will have some risk of strong to severe storms Saturday night. Then,
drier air returns Sunday with sunshine back in full supply and a high
close to 70.

FOOTBALL WEATHER: A few scattered showers are possible for the high
school games tonight and tomorrow night, but most stadiums will be
dry. Game temperatures will be mostly in the upper 60s. For Saturday's
Magic City Classic at Legion Field in Birmingham (2:30 p.m. kickoff),
a passing shower or storm is possible during the game with
temperatures in the mid 70s. A strong storm is possible during the
second half of the game. Auburn will host Ole Miss Saturday morning
with an 11:30 kickoff; the sky will be mostly cloudy, and a shower or
thunderstorm is possible. The kickoff temperature will be close to 72,
rising into the mid 70s during the game. UAB is on the road at UTEP in
El Paso, Texas (2:00 kickoff); the sky will be sunny with a kickoff
temperature near 65 degrees.

TALLADEGA WEATHER: For Saturday's Mountain Dew 250, the weather will
be mild and breezy with some risk of a shower or storm during the
race. The chance of a shower or storm at the track at any given time
will be about one in three, and temperatures will be in the low to mid
70s. Sunday still promises to be a very nice day for the Amp Energy
500 with ample sunshine and a high around 70. Keep in mind there is a
risk of strong to severe storms Saturday night, so campers will need
to be aware of the weather since high winds could easily be involved
in those thunderstorms.

TO THE WEST: A significant severe weather event is possible today in
the broad area from Houston to St. Louis, where thunderstorms are
possible later today with large hail and damaging winds. A few
isolated tornadoes will be possible as well. Flash flood watches also
cover much of this region, where some spots could see over five inches
of rain. Some of the cities in the flash flood watch area include
Shreveport, Little Rock, Jackson, and Memphis.
