...Damp Saturday...

A northeast/southwest band of rain stretched across Alabama at late
morning, but it was slowly moving east. Rainfall amounts have been
light this morning. The rain will gradually exit eastern sections
later today.

REST OF YOUR WEEKEND: Skies will clear late this evening across the
area, setting the stage for a nice Sunday. It will be partly cloudy
and seasonable tomorrow, with highs in the lower 70s. But the respite
will be of a short duration as a warm front comes back north by Sunday
evening, bringing back the clouds and rain chances overnight.

WET START TO THE WEEK: By Monday morning, moisture will be back at
tropical levels across Alabama. Rain chances will be high on Monday,
and probably again on Tuesday. A front late Tuesday will give us
another break from the rain through Thursday until another front
brings back wet weather on Friday. The weekend could be wet again.

FOOTBALL FORECAST: Folks in Fayetteville woke up to fog this
morning, but the Arkansas defenders may find themselves in a
football fog as Gene Chizik's Tigers bring their high flying offense
in and put their number 17 ranking on the line. Oh, don't worry about
the weather. You will be able to see the field just fine with the fog
burned away and just partly cloudy skies. Temperatures will feel like
football, remaining in the 50s through the game. 'Bama and Ole Miss
tangle in Oxford this afternoon. It will be mostly cloudy for this
pivotal SEC West showdown. It will be on the coolish side with
temperatures dropping from around 61F at kickoff. Just a few spits
and sputters of rain and a light north wind.

BASEBALL WEATHER? Temperatures in the 20s, fog and a little freezing
drizzle. It's baseball weather in Colorado. MLB has postponed
tonight's pivotal Game 3 of the series between the Rockies and
Phillies, rescheduling it for Sunday night.

TROPICS: Nothing to talk about in the tropical Atlantic. A
disturbance moving along the north coast of South America is too close
to
land for development. The remnants of Henri are barely discernible as
they track north of the Dominican Republic.

NUMEROUS REPORTS OF WIND DAMAGE: Nearly 150 reports of wind damage
yesterday from Louisiana and Arkansas into Mississippi, Alabama,
Tennessee and Kentucky. Two fatalities were reported, including one
at Creole in Cameron Parish, Louisiana and one at Wayside,
Mississippi, south of Greenville. Two tornadoes were reported in
Kentucky, and I heard of at least one in the Huntsville Weather
Service's area of responsibility. I am sure we will hear of a couple
of more when the reports are sifted
out later today.

WEATHERBRAINS: Looking forward to our first annual WeatherBrains
rant show this Monday night. Got something relating to weather that
gets your goat? Something that steams your shorts? Something that
really sets you off? Tell us about at email@weatherbrains.com. The
show will be available by late Monday night at www.WeatherBrains.com
or on iTunes. Follow our tweets for WeatherBrains on Twitter
@weatherbrains.

ON THE DATE IN 2008: Boise, Idaho picked up 1.7 inches on snow, the
earliest measurable snowfall there in 111 years of records. Follow my
weather history tweets on Twitter.com @ wxhistorian. -
