WEATHER WE BRAG ABOUT: It was truly another Chamber of Commerce day across
Alabama. Early morning low temperatures were in the upper 40s and 50s,
except 60s around Mobile. By afternoon, very comfortable.

Overall we can expect a lot more of that type weather thanks to two cold
fronts that will move through the area-one on Saturday and another Monday
night. Does this mean showers and storms? We think the second front will be
dry, but there is a slight chance of a shower tomorrow and tomorrow evening.
We think most areas will remain dry. By Sunday, mostly sunny weather will
return as it turns cooler again. See our day-by-day forecast.

FOOTBALL WEATHER: Near perfect for tonight's high school football. On
Saturday, South Carolina is at Alabama for a 5 pm start. It should be near
80 at kickoff and low 70s at the final whistle. The risk of a shower is very
small. UAB will be at Cincinnati for a 6 pm game. Mostly clear, chilly
weather with about 50 at kickoff falling into the mid 40s. Be advised, if
you are traveling there, the overnight low Saturday night will be 38. One of
the biggest games will be Auburn at Tennessee with a 6:45 pm game. We expect
68 at kick off and 62 in the fourth quarter. Only a slight chance of a
shower. Down in SE Alabama, Troy University will host Utah State for an
afternoon game. The high should be 88 with only a slight chance of a shower.

TROPICAL WEATHER: Tropical Storm Lisa-just under hurricane strength-was way
far out and moving northward into the North Atlantic. She will only bother
fish at sea-maybe giving some big whales a headache. We look now to a
tropical wave in the Central Caribbean south of Jamaica. No sign of
circulation, but it could slowly increase over the weekend as it gets into a
friendlier neighborhood in the Western Caribbean. If it eventually became a
tropical storm, the name would be Matthew.

SWEEPING OFF MY DESK: A big blast of unusually cold air for so early in the
season will be sweeping down across the Northern Plains and Northern
Rockies. There was already a hard freeze in parts of Montana this morning
with 17 at Jordan and Wolf Point. The latter is located out on the open
plains of NE Montana where the only thing holding back the cold north wind
is a barbed wire fence.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: A great outpouring of sympathy for our friend
who recently lost her 15-year-old Nikki. I will forward the messages. I will
also reply to all of the emails...temporarily behind, but I will catch
up...out well before sunrise this morning to go help with some work at
church. A fantastic sunrise with only one small patch of cirrus clouds about
30,000 feet off the ground, but in exactly the right place...I haven't seen
little Miss Molly all day...she is at the PBS (Puppy Beauty Shop) getting a
trim...didn't have time to play with her last night, but I will certainly
catch up in the near future...editoralizing a bit again. I think it's
unfortunane that our pets don't live as long as we do. It would be fantastic
to grow old together and it would save us humans a lot of sorrow, but life
goes on. We enjoy them even with their short life.
