OUR BELOVED COLD FRONT: It was a delightful experience to see the "cold"
front come through late yesterday. This afternoon the front has pushed all
the way down into north Florida and well south of the Mobile area. So a lot
of people are enjoying the break in heat and humidity. The lowest
temperature in Alabama this morning was a cool 57 at Valley Head in DeKalb
County. Tonight should be our coolest night in this current cool spell. Low
temperatures are going to be quite variable because of the wind. While the
wind will die down in most of the valley areas, it may hold up between 5 and
10 mph in the wide open areas and along the ridges. Here in central Alabama
look for about 56 as an average, but some areas will get no lower than about
62.

The sunshine will stay with us Saturday, Sunday and most of Monday. Our next
chance of rain will be a small risk about Tuesday afternoon. There are some
indications that we may have another front approaching by the middle of next
week.

TROPICAL WEATHER: Alex is long gone. His sustained winds were down to 60
mph and he was centered about 900 miles east of Cape Race, Newfoundland.
He's over much colder waters. What remains of tropical depression number two
that we thought would be Tropical Storm Bonnie by now is over the central
Caribbean Sea. Winds upstairs will become more favorable and it may develop
again. A plane may go into the area on Saturday.

WEEKEND AT THE BEACH: All sunshine for Saturday and Sunday and relatively
comfortable temperatures with lows about 68 and highs about 88. You will
also notice that the humidity is lower than usual. The sea surface
temperature off Dauphin Island is a very warm 87.

FRIDAY SHORT TAKES: Some other low temperatures in Alabama this morning
included 60 in Belle Mina, Owens Crossroads and Scottsboro; 61 in DeSoto
State Park, Cullman and Decatur; 62 in Huntsville...the national low was 28
in Tower, Minnesota. Yesterday they had a very cold 26...it also dropped to
26 at Guttenburg Dam, Iowa...on this date in 1987, 6 inches of rain fell in
one hour at Birmingham Airport. We were in a staff meeting at the time with
the national director and regional director of the NWS and we had to slip
away and issue a flash flood warning!

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Little Miss Molly must have sensed that a cold
front had passed. Even though we had a midnight play session, she poked me
gently with her paw well before sunrise. I looked up into her face. She
looked so unkempt, but I knew she was ready to go outside. It was great to
be back walking very, very early. We finished our half-mile walk well before
sunrise. One of the community rabbits was sitting in the grass, but only two
feet away from the thick hedgerow (Hare Haven). He let Miss Molly come
within six inches and like a shot out of a cannon, he plunged out of sight.
Molly got very upset. I will be "contracting out" Miss Molly for the next 24
hours or so. All six grandkids will be over for a spend-the-night. We're
trying to let Molly rest today so she can be ready. After they leave
tomorrow, she will be totally pooped and will sleep most of the weekend.
Life goes on.
