**No afternoon Weather Xtreme video today due to travel schedule**
VERY COMFORTABLE: Looks like temperatures will remain below average values for mid-September through most of the week, an occasional shot of cooler air will slip in from the east, and generally speaking temperatures near the Georgia border will be cooler than those near the Mississippi border. Highs will generally be in the low 80s, with lows in the low 60s through the weekend.
The GFS hints at few showers over South Alabama Sunday and Monday, but I think the northern half of the state will stay mostly dry; any showers should be light and spotty.
FOOTBALL WEATHER: Alabama is in Fayetteville for an 11:30 kick off Saturday with the Arkansas Razorbacks. About a 1 in 3 chance of a shower or thunderstorm during the game and high temperature around 75. LSU will be in Auburn Saturday night for a 6:45 kick off. It should be a mostly dry game with kick off temperature of 77 and dropping to the upper 60s. Alabama State will be at Legion Field to play UAB at 3:00 p.m. Expect dry weather with 80 at kick off and lowering to 75. Jacksonville State will be in Chattanooga for a 6:00 p.m. game. Fair and dry. 75 at kick off and 60s in the fourth quarter. For high school games tonight and Friday night, it should be dry with pleasant temperatures 70 and 75.
TROPICS: A tropical wave is producing showers around the Lesser Antilles, but upper air winds don’t favor development right now.

I will have the next discussion here by 5:30 a.m…. I probably won’t be able to crank out a Weather Xtreme video due to the travel schedule. I am writing this from Little Rock, where I will speak to the Little Rock Media Fellowship tonight. I will be back in Birmingham early tomorrow afternoon… Ashley B will be on ABC 33/40 tonight in my place!
