A NICE STRETCH OF GREAT WEATHER: I believe everybody is ready for some dry
weather after a statewide drenching during the last two days. A number of
communities received over 2 inches of rain and a great part of the state
received over 1 inch. The Mobile area received 3 to 4 inches of rain,
bringing their November total to 6.05 inches. But look at their total for
the year so far. It has now reached 70.36 inches and that's a whopping 12
inches wetter than normal! There was also some flooding in the Pensacola
area where 4 to 5 inches of rain occurred. A few of the heavier amounts just
in the last 24 hours:

1.67 inches in Steele (North St. Clair County)
1.41 at Mitchell Dam (Chilton County)
1.71 at Gorgas Steam Plant (Walker County

WHAT NOW? The sun was trying desperately to erode the clouds this
afternoon. While there will be some breaks in the clouds at times tonight,
there could also be some patches of fog form. We don't look for predominant
sunshine until Saturday afternoon. From then on, mostly sunshine for Sunday,
Monday and Tuesday, chilly nights, but fairly pleasant afternoons. See our
day-by-day forecast.

FOOTBALL WEATHER: For tonight's high school play-off games: dry cool
weather with temperatures in the 50s and wind should not be a factor.
Saturday afternoon Georgia will be in Auburn for a 2:30 game and Houston
will be in Birmingham for a 3:00 game with UAB. At both stadiums it should
be partly sunny with low 60s at kick off falling into the 50s. Down in Baton
Rouge, Alabama meets LSU at 6:45 p.m. The weather should be ideal-fair and
dry with near 60 at kick off and falling quickly into the 50s.

WEATHER NOTEBOOK: For the second time recently, some locally heavy snow for
North and Central New Mexico and the Texas Panhandle...as much as 5 to 7
inches will accumulate west and north of Amarillo during the next 24 to 36
hours...warmest around the nation Thursday was 88 in Harlingen and McAllen,
Texas...places where you needed an overcoat this morning, were Sioux City,
Iowa and Wolf Point, Montana where it was 10 above and Nuiqsut, Alaska with
27 below...Wolf Point is located out on the barren plains of NE Montana and
if you don't believe the wind blows a lot there, try driving through when a
cold front is approaching...in 1990, 14 different typhoons hit the
Philippines. Mike was the worst and on November 12 he produced winds of 144
mph killing 436 people.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: It was great to be out walking in the cool
dampness this morning. Molly took her time, which meant I did too. For some
reason, we saw a flurry of birds-at least 100 after only seeing one
yesterday morning. That amazes me. One very pretty bird, multicolored, flew
down directly in front of Molly's face. You know what that meant-she took
off like a police car and almost jerked me off my feet...in a midnight walk,
there was a steady light rain, but it got heavier. At that point, Molly
looked straight up to see where the rain was coming from and several drops
hit her in the face. She bolted for home at breakneck speed and I was going
faster than a human should have to go. Life goes on and we have fun-fast or
slow. We cherish every day...after we got home another post-midnight play
session and Molly folded up at 1 a,m.
