Football Weather
High school football kicks off tonight in Alabama, and college football gets underway this weekend. Lets give you a detailed look at what kind of weather to expect.
HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL
TONIGHT: A few showers are likely, mainly over West Alabama. The chance of any one stadium getting some rain tonight is about 60 percent west of I-65. For areas along and east of I-65, including the Birmingham metro, the chance of a shower at any given game site is about 30 percent.
We don’t expect much lighting and thunder, and the showers will come and go, so it won’t be steady if rain comes. The night will be warm and very humid with temperatures around 80 degrees during the games.
TOMORROW NIGHT: While showers are still possible, they will be fewer in number. Any one game has about a 30 percent chance of getting a shower statewide; temperatures will be close to 80, and humidity levels will be high. While you can’t rule out a little thunder and lightning somewhere, lightning should not be a big issue.
COLLEGE FOOTBALL
SC AT VANDY: The SEC season begins tonight in Nashville as South Carolina visits Vandy. The sky will be cloudy, and a little scattered light rain is possible, but nothing really heavy or widespread. Temperatures will be mostly in the 70s during the game.
ALABAMA VS MICHIGAN: The weather in Dallas Saturday will be sunny and hot with a high just under 100 degrees. The biggest issue for fans involves the rain in Mississippi from Isaac; for those driving along I-20 it will be very wet ride through Mississippi and Northeast Louisiana; the weather will greatly improve west of Monroe, LA. I am not aware of any flooding issues along I-20. Showers are possible along the route tomorrow, but they will be more scattered and the rain won’t be as heavy, generally speaking.
AUBURN VS CLEMSON: Just a few scattered showers in Atlanta Saturday with a high in the upper 80s; for those driving to Atlanta along I-20 or I-85, you will have a little light rain at times today and tomorrow, but serious weather issues are not expected.
