LIKE A BROKEN RECORD: That's what our forecast sounds like lately
and we do not see much change through much of the coming week. Even the old
thermometer will be rather stable.

Dry air continues to slide into the state from the NE. This means
warm afternoons, but pleasant nights. The humidity will continue relatively
low. Therefore, even when the afternoon temperatures edge upward to the
lower 90s it will not be unbearable.

By tomorrow the Birmingham rainfall will slip into a deficit. We
have been carrying a surplus for a long time. Up north, it has been a whole
lot drier. Huntsville has only received 29.25 inches of rain all year, which
is almost 11 inches below normal.

WEATHER NOTEBOOK: Mountain City, in the NE corner of Tennessee, has
not reached the 90-degree mark the entire year. They are at an elevation of
2,499 feet, making them the highest town in Tennessee...now a look at some
selected low temperatures this morning:

54 at DeSoto State Park
58 in Athens
59 in Cullman and Huntsville
61 in Anniston and Montgomery
63 in Tuscaloosa
64 in Birmingham
42 atop Mt. LeConte, Tennessee
37 at Stanley, Idaho and in Yellowstone National Park

TROPICAL WEATHER: No need to worry about Maria and Nate any longer.
They are way out in the Atlantic and moving NE. The disturbed weather area
over the SW Gulf of Mexico shows no sign of development. The main star of
the show now is Tropical Storm Ophelia. She was about 130 miles east of
Daytona Beach at midday moving slowly NNE at 5. She may become a hurricane
again later today. She has been switching back and forth. The track forecast
is very interesting. It shows a loop in the Atlantic and then coming back
toward the NW making landfall in the vicinity of Charleston as a hurricane
late Tuesday. However, the cone of concern extends from Central Florida to
Southern North Carolina.

FOOTBALL WEATHER: Excellent weather for high school football
tonight with kickoff temperatures in the 80s, but cooling into the 70s. On
Saturday, Mississippi State will play at Auburn at 11:30 a.m., Southern Miss
will be at Alabama at 6:45 p.m. and UAB will be in Troy for a 7:00 p.m.
kickoff. Clear weather for all games. The temperature should peak around 92
during the Auburn game. For the two evening games, it should be about 82 at
kickoff dropping into the mid 70s.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: I have already set aside a block of
time Saturday morning dedicated to none other than my little 9-pound pal,
Little Miss Molly. I have played with her quite a bit this week, but not
very long at a time. When I do that, she looks disappointed. She would
prefer at least a 30-minute session going at top speed. I guess I need to do
more of those for my own exercise. I cut her morning walk to 1/4 mile. She
resisted and planted her feet on the walking track and did not want to start
back home. She looked longingly the other way hoping to go the distance.
Life goes on short walks or long walks. She and I have walked hundreds of
miles together.
