SHOWERS TONIGHT, A DRY WEEKEND: The main part of our weather story today is
built around a strong cold front that will be moving west to east across the
state tonight. This will bring sharply lower temperatures and by morning you
are going to need a nice coat and, if you're really cold natured, a heavy
coat. As the front moves through, it's going to set off some showers but not
as much rain as earlier expected. We think that the heavier showers and some
thunderstorms will be close to the Gulf Coast. This tends to block off the
moisture supply to North and Central Alabama decreasing the amount of rain
here. When you get up tomorrow morning, there could still be a few patches
of leftover light rain or drizzle, but it should end quickly followed by
decreasing clouds. While temperatures are still in the mid 40s early
tomorrow, west winds of 12-25 mph will send the wind chill well down into
the 30s.

The weekend looks great with afternoon temperatures bouncing back to 70 to
74. Nights will still be cool.

FOOTBALL WEATHER: For the high school games Friday night, dry and rather
cool with temperatures in the 50s. Same story Friday night for the UAB-TCU
game at Legion Field. On Saturday, Arkansas will be in Auburn and
Mississippi Southern in Tuscaloosa for 2:30 pm games. It should be mostly
sunny with game time temperatures in the 60s at both places..

TROPICAL WEATHER: There is a large low pressure area 550 miles WSW of the
southernmost Azores. (Translation: way out in the Atlantic.) It was moving
slowly north. It has no tropical characteristics, but it could possibly
develop into a sub-tropical cyclone in the next couple of days as it moves
slowly north.

THURSDAY TIDBITS: A very cold 18 in Embarrass, Minnesota was the lowest in
the lower 48 this morning. By the way, that town is not named because they
are embarrassed by their bitter cold winters.it was 7 above at Arctic
Village, Alaska.103 in Death Valley was yesterday's hottest...we will soon
be in our secondary tornado season. They are not out of the question even in
late October...on this date in 1909, an F3 tornado struck Pittsburg Landing
and Stantonville, Tennessee with 23 persons killed and 80 injured.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Another walk with little Miss Molly at
nightfall yesterday. On the other side of the thick underbrush north of the
walking trail are some new homes. A beautiful little white dog, slightly
larger than Molly, lives there and he has the run of 2 or 3 yards. He came
down to the hedgerow to greet Molly and I thought that she was going to have
a heart attack trying to get to him to rub noses. She kept poking in the
thick underbrush trying to find an opening, but never could. She sure whined
and complained. Further up the walking track, while it was too dark to see,
one of the CRs (community rabbits) was sitting in the grass. In only two
leaps, he jumped the Old Crow Creek and disappeared into the underbrush(the
Old Crow Creek is a small wet-weather stream adjacent to the Old Crow
Motel)...first rabbit we have seen in many weeks...engaged Molly into a
rapid 30 minute play session as soon as her feet hit the floor this
morning...she loved it no end and seemed to forget that she needed to go
outside.
