DRY DAYS: Alabama’s weather will stay rain-free through the weekend and next week as the calm pattern continues. The high today will be in the 76-82 degree range, followed by low to mid 70s over the weekend. Morning lows will be in the 40s and 50s.
Same thing next week; highs mostly in the 70s, lows in the 40s and 50s. Global models continue to suggest our next rain event is 10-15 days away, in early November. See the video briefing for maps, graphics, and more details.
TROPICS: A trough of low pressure located several hundred miles east of Bermuda is producing a large area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms. Further development of this system is not expected as it moves north-northeastward into increasingly unfavorable environmental conditions during the next day or so.
Tropical storm formation is not expected across the Atlantic basin for at least the next seven days.
RACE WEEKEND: The weather could not be better for race weekend at Talladega. Sunny, comfortable afternoons, clear, cool nights. Afternoon highs in the mid to upper 70s, morning lows in the upper 40s and low 50s.
FOOTBALL WEATHER: Auburn hosts LSU tomorrow at Jordan-Hare Stadium (11:00a CT kickoff)… the sky will be sunny with temperatures rising from near 70 at kickoff to around 75 degrees by the final whistle.
Alabama will host Texas A&M Saturday (2:30p CT kickoff)… a sunny sky over Tuscaloosa with temperatures in the mid 70s for the first half, falling into the upper 60s by the end of the game.
