Saw your forecast for the Hoover-UMS Wright Game tomorrow. What about for the first game of the doubleheader between Clay County and Addison?

Hey James,
I live in Tuscaloosa but I am working for a company in New Jersey in Bergen County....I am only up here for two week, when I heard about the tornado warning it made me feel just like I was at home.....Nothing really bad happened, it was a bust, lot of rain, lightning, etc.

Tropical Wave off coast of africa that is expected to develop into tropical storm next week: http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/PS/TROP/DATA/RT/eatl-ir4-loop.html

Next Recon of TD 5 is at 2PM EDT...TD 5 has slowed which should allow shear in the carib to head West and outrun TD 5....GOM is very favorable...260 NM S of Panama City SST is 89.....Gulf Eddy appears to be in full force...
