Tropical Showers
**No afternoon Weather Xtreme video today**
RADAR HAS THE MEASLES: Classic case of scattered showers in random places this afternoon….
MUGGY IS THE WORD: Get used to this… the blanket of moist air will hang around for at least the next 5 days as the remnant circulation of Isaac passes north of here. While the big, organized rain mass will be north of us, we will have to dodge scattered showers and storms on a daily basis through the Labor Day weekend.
The best chance of a shower will come during the afternoon and evening hours, but we can’t totally rule out a late night or morning shower.
Highs over the weekend will be in the 88 to 91 degree range, and each day will feature a mixture of clouds and sunshine, much like today.
No sign of any airmass change through the rest of next week.
FOOTBALL WEATHER: For the high school games tonight, a little light rain is possible, but nothing really heavy, and probably no thunder. The sky will be cloudy, conditions will be very humid, and temperatures will be in the 77 to 81 degree range.
Alabama and Auburn both play indoors tomorrow night making for an easy game forecast. For those flying to Dallas for the Alabama/Michigan game, Dallas will be hot and dry with a high not too far from 100 degrees tomorrow. Atlanta’s weather tomorrow will be similar to ours; very humid with some sun at times and the chance of scattered showers. The high in Atlanta tomorrow will be close to 88 degrees.
Troy will visit the UAB Blazers tomorrow… the game kicks off at 11:00 at Legion Field in Birmingham. The sun might peek out at times, and a passing shower is possible during the game. About 86 at kickoff; perhaps reaching 90 by the final whistle if the sun does make an appearance.
GULF COAST WEATHER: We project about 5 to 7 hours of sunshine each day along the coast from Panama City west to Gulf Shores over the holiday weekend, with the chance of scattered showers and storms each day. Highs will be mostly in the upper 80s. There has been a little upwelling in the wake of Isaac with slightly cooler ocean water temperatures reported; the Dauphin Island Sea Lab shows a sea surface temperature of 80 degrees early this morning.
OTHER TROPICAL NOTES: Hurricane Kirk, and Tropical Storm Leslie in the Atlantic are both expected to recurve before reaching the U.S.
CONNECT: You can find me on all of the major social networks…
WEATHER BRAINS: Don’t forget you can listen to our weekly 90 minute netcast anytime on the web, or on iTunes. This is the show all about weather featuring many familiar voices, including our meteorologists here at ABC 33/40.
Brian Peters is back from his Alaska cruise and will have the Weather Xtreme videos tomorrow and Sunday… my next video will be posted Monday. Enjoy the holiday weekend!
