MATTHEW'S AFTERMATH: For most of Alabama, Mr. Tropical Storm Matthew did
not amount to much. He never was a real bona fide tropical storm. He was
more of a hybrid between a regular storm and a tropical one. This afternoon
his remains were over Arkansas and spreading locally heavy rain northward
into the Central Plains.

Unfortunately, a big percentage of Alabama did not get much needed
beneficial rain from Matthew. By far the best rainfall amounts were over on
the extreme west and SW parts of the state. Livingston, for example,
received 1.50 inches in the last 24 hours and there were locally heavy
amounts in Mobile and Baldwin Counties.

There's a lot of residual moisture hanging around in the wake of Matthew, so
we will see occasional showers off and on for the next couple of days. Most
of the showers tonight will be scattered and light and we could even see
some patchy fog and drizzle toward daybreak.

By Thursday, the weather will look more interesting as a pronounced cold
front approaches. The front will set off some scattered showers and possibly
a thunderstorm on Thursday, followed by noticeably cooler Thursday night.
Look for early morning temperatures in the mid 40s Friday-our best shot of
cool air since last spring.

TROPICAL WEATHER: With Matthew's remnants fading away, the only other
thing on the board is subtropical storm Nicole about 550 miles south of Nova
Scotia. She will continue moving north and should not affect any part of the
USA.

MONDAY RAMBLES: It was 96 in Death Valley Sunday afternoon for the USA's
hottest...down here where the 48 states are neighbors, it was 21 in Stanley,
Idaho this morning...last time I was there, both the speed limit and
population was 35...in Alaska, the low was 7 at Anaktuvuk Pass...at the
northernmost weather station in North America, it was 9 below at
Alert...Matthew dumped 5.20 inches of rain on Vicksburg.

DID YOU KNOW? That Seattle does not get nearly as much rain per year as
Birmingham, even though we think of them as having a lot of rain. Their
normal yearly rainfall is 38.60 inches as compared to 54 inches in
Birmingham. On this date in 1991, Seattle had gone 40 days in a row with no
rain.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Tomorrow I want to do a brief story about a
family who had two ducks for pets and it was a perfectly delightful
experience...little Miss Molly cannot complain about having plenty of
playtime in the last 24 hours...my little tongue was hanging out from
chasing her around and around the couch with her trying to keep her ball
away from me. After this went on for about 30 minutes and we wrestled,
played soccer and pull rope, she suddenly stopped, went kerplop on the floor
and passed out. She can shift from vigorous play to sleep seemingly in 30
seconds. Life goes on.
