BONA FIDE AUTUMN WEATHER: I believe if you could have stood on top of
Vulcan today, you could have seen all the way to Mt. Cheaha and all the way
to Montgomery, if it were not for the curvature of the earth. This is our
first genuine autumn weather. No doubt you felt a bit chilly today with the
brisk winds, especially since it has been warm for such an extended period
of time. The wind will die away completely after sundown and with clear
skies overnight, temperatures will fall into the 30s. The average low across
Central Alabama should be about 36. However, look for lows more like 32 in
the traditional cold spots, such as Pinson, Hamilton, Valley Head and
Bridgeport. Would not be surprised to see one or two lows by tomorrow
morning between 30 and 32. There is still enough ground-level moisture for
this to translate into some scattered frost by daybreak.

Tonight should be our coldest night. After that, near perfect autumn
weather, at least into the middle of next week with lows in the 40s and
highs between 66 and 70. Another cold front will move through the area about
Monday, simply reinforcing the dry air. A few of this morning's low
temperatures:

41 in Pinson, Meridianville, Russell Cave
42 at Birmingham Airport
43 in Jasper and Fayette
44 in Huntsville
45 in Wedowee, Clanton, Decatur
46 in Cullman and Oak Grove
47 in Mobile and Selma
48 in Talladega
49 in Montgomery and Anniston

FOOTBALL WEATHER: Great high school weather this evening. Clear with little
or no wind. Temperatures around 48 for the 7:30 p.m. kick offs falling to
43-45 at the final whistle. In Tuscaloosa, Alabama meets Mississippi State
for an evening game Saturday. Look for clear weather with temperatures
around 60 at kick off and near 50 at the final whistle. Wind will not be a
factor.

END OF THE WEEK NOTES: 92 was the USA's hottest Thursday at Labelle,
Florida...this morning it was 5 above zero at Antero Reservoir in
North-Central Colorado and 8 in Doyleville in the same area.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Ah, yes, this is the kind of walking weather
that little Miss Molly and I have been waiting for. We were out early today
for a half-mile walk. The Old Crow Motel, not in the best of health, has
already lost most of its leaves and it stood out stark and clear as the sun
rose this morning. Little Miss Molly had some extra pep in her step because
of the 42 temperature and we both got home without perspiring...have noticed
an upsurge in the number of 1,000 leg worms lately. One long one this
morning must have had 1,200 legs, but he was barely moving...didn't I read
that 40 degrees would wipe out most mosquitoes? Haven't seen but about two
all year, but plenty of spiders. I hope those rascals will crawl in a hole
too. Life goes on.
