Shameless plugs: Here's Jim for the weather

AUGUST 19, 2008

Woohoo! I'm on TV today. Actually just my voice, but at 3:30 p.m., I'll be on "College Football Live" on ESPN2, talking about ... the weather. Just a quick-hits type deal, but program your DVRs accordingly.

Speaking of weather, sounds like Jim Leavitt spent a lot of time watching The Weather Channel last night. Said he was up until 1 a.m. getting updates, and though he conceded he's not a "weathertorian," he can talk like one.

"It's much-needed rain. The lake needed the rain. It was 8 inches down. Now it can fill up in the middle of the state. Miami has had three inches more than normal, but Fort Lauderdale is less than normal. ... Will it affect the Southeast, where they need it desperately, in Alabama and those areas? Probably not."
