HANG IN THERE FOR A COOL OFF: If you don't believe it's been warm in
Alabama in October, this should convince you-temperatures were above normal
on 27 of the 31 days. The last 12 days of the month averaged 13 degrees
above normal and the last 5 days 16 above normal. That is remarkable.

This afternoon temperatures were shooting at all-time records for the month
of November in parts of the state. In Montgomery, the all-time record for
the whole month of November is 87. By early afternoon, they were already
reporting 86. But take heart, we will cool you off in a few days starting on
Wednesday and becoming more pronounced on Thursday and Friday. Meanwhile, we
have a storm system to deal with, but it looks more and more like the
heaviest rain will be later than we earlier expected.

ELECTION DAY WEATHER: It looked for a time that Tuesday would be stormy
with lots of rain. We will still get some showers, but we think most of the
morning will be dry. That could be a good time to vote. While we will get
some showers during the afternoon, the more numerous showers along with some
thunderstorms, will be overnight Tuesday night and even more so on
Wednesday. Leftover light rain will end Thursday, followed by clearing and
much cooler. Our lowest temperature should come Friday and Saturday morning
with lower 40s. It looks like a beautiful weekend ahead with mostly sunny
weather, chilly mornings and afternoon highs in the 60s.

LOOKING ELSEWHERE: As if on signal, the first of November is bringing lots
of foul weather. The upper part of the Texas Panhandle getting a real taste
of winter as they expect up to 4 inches of snow with north winds as high as
40 mph...meanwhile, it was in the lower 90s in South Texas this
afternoon...a Tornado Watch was posted for SE Arkansas and North Louisiana
and a Flash Flood Watch for West Tennessee and North Mississippi as this
storm system moved toward the east...the main low pressure area should be
over Alabama by Wednesday afternoon...the coldest in the lower 48 states
this morning was one at Stanley, Idaho...up in Northern Canada, it was as
low as minus 24...overnight 3.30 inches of rain in Springfield, Missouri and
over 2 inches in San Antonio and Waco.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: While the whole world was sleeping, me and
little Miss Molly had a significant encounter with the CC (Community Cat).
Out the door for an early walk, Molly spotted the cat right away and she and
I roared toward the cat...but the cat wouldn't move, so Molly put on her
brakes when she got within five feet to assess the situation. She would take
two slow steps forward and back up three. When she got within five feet of
the cat, he curled his tail downward, raised his right paw and hissed
loudly. That changed Molly's mind in a St. Louis second and she was ready to
continue her walk. Just another little drama in our tiny corner...good news,
the little white dog that got run over by an automobile finally came back
home and he's okay. His leg was banged up, but the vet has given him a good
bill of health.that's great news...life goes on good news or bad...we roll
with the punches.
