MOIST AIR GOING NOWHERE: Our weather won’t change much through Saturday; warm and muggy during the day with some sun at times, and the continued risk of scattered showers and thunderstorms. Highs in the low to mid 80s; the best chance of showers and storms will come during the afternoon and evening hours, but we can’t rule out a late night or morning shower along the way.
SUNDAY AND NEXT WEEK: A tropical wave coming out of the Gulf of Mexico should give our state a marked increase in rain and storm coverage by Sunday and Monday. Watch the Weather Xtreme video and you will see the 12Z GFS now keeps the tropical low right around here for much of the week, and it sure looks like we will to keep the forecast tilted toward wet conditions through on through Tuesday and Wednesday. This could bring some really good rain amounts to Alabama, with potential for over two inches Sunday through Tuesday.
FOOTBALL WEATHER: For high school games tonight and Friday night, the temperature at kick off should be around 78 and dropping only a few degrees by the final whistle. There is about a 1 in 4 chance of a shower or thunderstorm at any given stadium with a better chance during the first half. That is for both nights. College football on Saturday has Alabama hosting Florida International for a 6:00 p.m. kick off. There is a chance of a shower or thunderstorm during the game with the temperature dropping from 80 at kick off into the 70s. Very similar weather when Mississippi State visits Auburn also with a 6:00 p.m. kick off. In Birmingham, UAB will host SMU for a 3:00 p.m. kick off. It should be 83 at kick off and 78 at the final whistle and also a risk of a shower or thunderstorm during the game.
