Foggy–Allow Extra Drive Time

There is a wide band of showers in progress across Central Alabama this morning roughly from south of about Birmingham to south of Montgomery. Moving east. Heaviest showers now over in West Georgia.

Good idea to allow extra time for morning drive (or morning rush hour) due to dense fog. Fog is not everywhere but many places have very low visibility of 1/4 to 1/2 mile, such as most of the Tennessee Valley and North Alabama. NWS has a Dense Fog Advisory until 9 am.

BIRMINGHAM TO NEW ORLEANS:  If you waited until this morning to head west to New Orleans for the LSU-Alabama game tonight, you may encounter lots of showers and thunderstorms. The official NWS forecast for New Orleans calls for numerous showers and thunderstorms today, tonight and Tuesday. It is relatively quiet there now but numerous showers/thunderstorms will be spreading eastward from Texas today. Of course the game will have perfect weather inside the dome.

BACK HOME IN ALABAMA: Numerous showers and thunderstorms today, tonight and Tuesday. Some the storms may be strong, mainly on Tuesday and Tuesday night. We will watch those closely.

Look for a complete discussion from James within the hour.
