PRETTY WEATHER, BUT TOO DRY: Most of our area has not had any rain since
Hurricane Ivan drenched Alabama in mid-September. There is a good chance
that we will go through most of this week without any rain also. A cold
front to our north will slowly move through tonight bringing a reinforcement
of cooler dry air. This will allow our nighttime lows to be in the 50s the
rest of the week and highs backing off a bit to the lower 80s. On Sunday, a
few places in South Alabama reached 90. Lots of sunshine for the next
several days. We could have some high cirrus clouds move across tonight due
to a thunderstorm complex well to the west of Alabama.

OUR NEXT CHANCE OF RAIN: It may be this weekend, especially late in the
weekend and early next week. This is due to a low pressure area over the SW
Gulf of Mexico working its way northward toward the Louisiana coast. When
the low gets into the northern Gulf of Mexico it is expected to curve NE.
Probably the best rainfall amounts will be over Central and South Alabama.
Not a great deal of confidence of that yet.

TROPICAL WEATHER: A tropical wave, now over the SW Gulf of Mexico, was
moving west. The National Hurricane Center thinks it will move onshore into
Eastern Mexico before having time to develop. Part of this will probably
evolve into that low expected to move up over the Northern Gulf and produce
some weekend rain.

RANDOM THOUGHTS: Out driving this weekend, noticed some browning beginning
to take place in the woodlands. It wasn't long ago that everything was so
lush green after Ivan. I sure hope we will get some rain soon. I fear if we
don't, a lot of the leaves will turn brown and fall off and dilute our
autumn foliage season...I'm going to make every effort to drive up the Paint
Rock River Valley in extreme North Alabama during autumn color...some real
cold air continues to build up over extreme Northern Canada where
temperatures have been hanging out between 5 and 8 below zero for nearly a
week...first widespread freeze of the season tonight for Northern
Illinois...with upper 20s in the Chicago area, especially in the outlying
areas...on this date in 1995, anxiety was high as powerful Hurricane Opal
was pushing toward the NW Florida coast. Alabama was hurt badly.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Little Miss Molly is giving me the cold
shoulder. I have been so busy that I have had no time to play soccer or
chase ball with her for at least four days. I really believe that little
squirt keeps a scorecard. She wouldn't even take a power nap with me this
morning. I am determined to make up to her. You should have seen her
Saturday when our entire street held a community yard sale. She thought it
was her responsibility to personally greet every person that came by...she
stood on her hind legs by the front door window much of the day whining. No
naps and when the day was over, she was totally exhausted. Life goes on.
