Weather Disco....






In the weather world... a weather discussion is sometimes referred to as a "weather disco"

Okay, so Fall is officially here if you look at a calendar, but someone forgot to mention that to Summer. This is the part of the show where the clowns start dancing and the air raid siren goes off and then they come after you with the big hook. (Credits: Showtime at the Apollo)

The Ridge of High Pressure will continue to dominate through the weekend. This will allow for maximum amount of sunshine and warm temperatures. The "coolness" of the air mass that brought us these pleasant mornings is slowly fading. As an Air mass sits in place (or slowly moves) it modifies. The cool air is slowly warming from the abundance of sunshine. Combine that with a change in the atmospheric flow and we will begin to pick up and Easterly Flow and then Southeasterly Flow which will begin to increase the amount of moisture in the atmosphere. A developing Low Pressure System to the West will begin to approach and clouds should begin to increase slowly on Monday. By Tuesday, we will introduce some small rain chances into the forecast. The amount of precipitation will be dependant upon the moisture recovery. No moisture = no rain. Little Moisture = little rain and so on...

Football forecast for the UAB Blazers- Temperatures should be between 70 and 78 degrees for tailgating. Kickoff is at 6:00PM at Legion Field and the temperature will be around 74 degrees. By the end of the game it will be cool, but comfy near 58 degrees. We expect to see clear skies throughout the day.
