A GENERAL WETTING DOWN: We're headed for a soaking rain across much of
Alabama in the next 24 to 36 hours and after that a significant change to
cooler weather. So much so that we will have our lowest temperatures since
last spring early Saturday morning. Some of the colder North Alabama valleys
could have mid 30s at daybreak Saturday. Let's skip ahead a few days for the
bright news and that is a beautiful autumn weekend. It should be mostly
sunshine Friday, Saturday and Sunday with chilly nights and cool afternoons.

Now, about the rain. Several clusters of showers formed over Alabama early
this morning and moved toward the NE. Some areas have already received
locally heavy rain. A few examples by midday: 0.87 in Cordova, 1.43 NW of
Gadsden, 0.98 in Pell City and 1.21 at Sayre in West Jefferson County.

The National Weather Service in Huntsville has a Flash Flood Watch posted
that will continue all night for the extreme northern Alabama from about
Cullman County northward. They expect rainfall amounts as much as 3 inches
across the northwestern counties and 1 to 2 inches in the other counties.
Here in Central Alabama, the storm total rainfall will be mostly between 1
and 2 inches. The rain should end Thursday morning and turn noticeably
cooler.

A SCARY ALASKA STORM: One of the most intense low pressure areas that I can
remember in a long time is moving through the Aleutian Islands toward the
Alaska mainland. This is an unusually dangerous winter storm, even for
Alaskans who are used to wintry conditions. Winds will exceed 75 mph and on
Thompson Pass as much as 48 inches of snow was forecast for tonight with
howling winds causing white-out conditions. Two spot reports: at Sand Point
in the Aleutians, SW winds were gusting to 64 mph this afternoon, at Cold
Bay as the name implies there was a steady cold rain with gusts to 48 mph
and the barometer down to 28.56 inches...skipping around elsewhere. 2.78
inches of rain in Memphis in the last 24 hours, 3.76 at Monroe, Louisiana,
2.70 in Houston and 3.24 at Jonesboro, Arkansas...USA cold spot this
morning, not counting Alaska, was 2 above at Laramie in SW Wyoming where the
wind is almost always blowing...Hot Springs National Park in Arkansas
reports 11.95 inches of rain during October, making it the second wettest
October ever.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: A lady in Bessemer-a big Miss Molly fan,
mailed Molly a nice present. It's a soccer ball, doggie size, but with four
tug-of-war ropes sticking out. It has rapidly become her favorite toy. It is
almost as large as she is. She grabs it and runs wanting me to chase her.
Only thing-she steps on the ropes and stumbles. I finally catch her and toss
or kick it across the room and she goes after it so fast that she is only a
blur...kept Molly up way past her bedtime last night...she was so tired but
full of energy again this morning. Life goes on even with not enough sleep.
