AUTUMN ASSERTS ITSELF: Good old Autumn finally decided to take over our
weather after a long period of temperatures far above normal. This afternoon
the old Royal Crown Cola thermometer was hanging out in the 50s with west
winds as much as 25 mph. I even saw a few people wearing coats, but not me.
I love it.

We're in for the lowest temperatures since last spring. All of the weather
information we can digest still points to Saturday morning as the coldest.
With little or no wind Friday night, we think the average low in the
Tuscaloosa-Birmingham-Anniston-Gadsden area will be around 35. But in the
low-lying areas, it could be as low as 32 or 33. With lots of ground-level
moisture still around, this will inevitably lead to some scattered frost.
Clouds will move away tonight. For Friday all the way through about Tuesday
of next week, you could not ask for better weather. See our day-by-day
forecast.

FOOTBALL WEATHER: Georgia will play in Auburn Saturday afternoon for a 2:30
beginning. Text-book football weather. It should be about 67 with total
sunshine. However, the game will not end until after dark and it should be
near 56 at the final whistle. Mississippi State will play Alabama in
Tuscaloosa for an evening game. Clear and cool with little or no wind. About
60 at kick off falling quickly into the 50s.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Did you know that Colorado has more than 50 mountain
peaks that exceed 14,000 feet elevation? The highest mountain is Mt. Elbert
at 14,433 feet.

THE TRANSITION SEASON: As we all know, Autumn, like Spring, is a season of
transition. This time of year we are faced with an increasing threat of
severe weather (our secondary tornado season) and there can also be
hurricanes this late. On November 4, 1935, the "Yankee Hurricane" struck
Miami. It was called that because it came out of the NE, which was very
rare. The wind exceeded 95 mph at Miami. On this date in 1988, a fast-moving
cold front set off 19 tornadoes in the southeast. At McComb, in South
Mississippi, one tornado narrowly missed a high school football game.
Another tornado, an F3, struck a school at New Site, Mississippi as school
was dismissed. Alert teachers rushed the students back into hallways just in
time.

THURSDAY NOTES: Lots of rain in Alabama in the last 24 hours. Just a few of
the heavier amounts: 3.63 inches at Ft. Payne Airport, 3.54 at DeSoto State
Park and 3.85 at Jackson down in SW Alabama...low temperatures today
included 10 at Gunnison , Colorado and minus 16 in Kaltag, Alaska.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Thanks to computer problems (I am convinced
that Bill Gates hates me), did not get in bed until 2:30 this morning and
neither did little Miss Molly. That poor little girl is pooped. She insists
on staying up with us. With the computer problem solved and with good
weather, she is going to get a record amount of playtime over the next few
days. She is addicted to her newest toy-the doggy-size soccer ball with four
rope prongs sticking out. She loves to grab it and shake the fool out of it
as she is running through the room at break neck speed. This causes her to
lose her balance, but she recovers and takes off again. She is gifted at
entertaining herself. I plan to get her out of bed at daybreak Saturday for
a half-mile walk in 35 degree weather. Life goes on.
