...Another Sunny Day...

A LITTLE COOLER: A fresh surge of cool, dry air moved into Alabama
late yesterday, and we project daytime temperatures to be about 5 to 8
degrees cooler today. Most communities will see a high in the mid to
upper 60s, and like other days this week we will expect a good supply
of sunshine. Tonight will be the coldest night this week with a clear
sky and light wind. Most places will wind up in the upper 30s at
daybreak tomorrow, with a light freeze possible for the colder valleys
across North Alabama. Then, we warm back into the 67 to 70 degree
range tomorrow afternoon with a sunny sky.

OUR WEEKEND: Afternoons will be a tad warmer with highs in the low to
mid 70s. No rain over the weekend, although a few clouds could invade
from the south by Sunday.

FOOTBALL WEATHER: For a change we have some great weather to discuss
this week. For tomorrow night's high school
playoff games, the sky will be clear with a kickoff temperature near
64 degrees, dropping into the 50s during the second half. Saturday,
Alabama hosts LSU at Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa (2:30 p.m.
kickoff). The sky will be sunny with 73 degrees at kickoff, with
temperatures falling back into the 60s during the second half. Very
similar weather for the Auburn/Furman game at Jordan-Hare Stadium;
lots of sunshine with temperatures in the 69 to 72 degree range during
the game. UAB celebrates homecoming Saturday, as the Blazers host
Florida Atlantic at Legion Field (1:00 p.m. kickoff). A sunny sky for
that game with a kickoff temperature near 71 degrees.

TROPICS NOT DEAD YET: Tropical Storm Ida formed yesterday in the
Southwest Caribbean; the system is packing sustained winds of 65 mph,
and it will move into Central America this morning with weakening
expected over land. However, Ida will emerge back into the Caribbean
during the day north of Honduras, and it could become a tropical storm
again as the water remains warm in the deep tropics. The forecast
track from the National Hurricane Center has Ida moving into the
southern Gulf of Mexico early next week as a strong tropical storm.
The good news is that sea water temperatures are pretty cool around
the Gulf Coast (65 degrees as of last night at the Dauphin Island Sea
Lab), so if a tropical system happens to get into the Gulf, most
likely it won't be a big threat to the northern coast due to the
cooler ocean temperatures. The 2009 hurricane season will end on
November 30.

NEXT WEEK: Moisture will increase, and we will bring in a chance of
showers Monday and Tuesday. The best upper dynamics will remain north
of Alabama, so for now we won't expect the rain to be especially
heavy, and no severe weather problems are anticipated. Afternoon highs
will be close to 70 much of the week as the colder Canadian air will
be trapped north of Alabama.
