SLOW WARM-UP: With a sunny sky today, we rise into the mid 60s. The weekend looks delightful as sunny weather continues; the high tomorrow will be in the upper 60s, followed by low 70s Sunday. Mornings stay cold, however, and many places will go back into the 30s early tomorrow.
FOOTBALL WEATHER: For high school games across the state tonight, you will need a jacket.. The sky will be clear with temperatures falling through the 50s. Some stadiums will be in the 40s by the second half tonight.
Tomorrow, Alabama hosts the Tennessee Volunteers at Bryant-Denny Stadium with a 6:15 p.m. CDT kickoff. The sky will be clear, with temperatures falling from near 64 at kickoff into the low to mid 50s by the fourth quarter. Auburn is on the road; the Tigers will take on LSU in Baton Rouge at 2:30 p.m. CDT. The sky will be bright and sunny with 75 degrees at kickoff, then falling into the 60s by the final whistle.
RACE WEEKEND: Picture perfect weather for the races at Talladega this weekend; the sky will be sunny today, tomorrow and Sunday with low humidity levels. The high at the Superspeedway today will be around 63, followed by 67 tomorrow and 72 Sunday.
NEXT WEEK: We stay dry Monday and Tuesday, but a powerful trough will bring a round of showers and storms late Wednesday night into Thursday. Not a classic severe weather set-up, but something we will have to watch in coming days. Drier and colder air moves in on Friday. See the Weather Xtreme video for details on long range ideas.
TROPICS: All remains quiet across the vast Atlantic basin this morning.
WEATHER BRAINS: Don’t forget you can listen to our weekly 90 minute netcast anytime on the web, or on iTunes. This is the show all about weather featuring many familiar voices, including our meteorologists here at ABC 33/40.
CONNECT: You can find me on all of the major social networks…
This is the last day I will be at the Wynfrey as our big meeting of weather minds winds down. The GOES Users Conference wraps up later today, and I will be on a panel discussion this morning with my pal Dan Satterfield of WHNT-TV in Huntsville. Look for the next Weather Xtreme video here by 3:30 or so this afternoon… enjoy the day!
