SEC Baseball Tournament Day 1: The first 3 games should be good weatherwise, but game 4, depending on when the first pitch occurs, could have an issue with the storms toward the latter innings. This will be something to watch.
A cooler and drier air mass will move into Alabama on Wednesday. We will be mostly sunny and less humid with high temperatures in the lower 80s.
