HELP IS ON THE WAY: From the unseasonably warm temperatures, that
is. The highs we are having are 5 to 7 degrees too warm for early October.
The "help" is in the form of a cold front that will move through very early
Friday. Until then, we will still have highs in the mid 80s. By Friday,
Saturday and Sunday, highs will only be in the mid 70s with lows at night in
the low to mid 50s. This means that some of the cooler North Alabama valley
locations may experience some upper 40s.

WHAT ABOUT RAIN: Moisture will be feeding up into Alabama from the
SE. It is somewhat unclear as to how much rain but we don't think it will be
very much. We should have some scattered showers by late Thursday lingering
into then morning hours Friday. Look for mostly sunny weather Saturday, with
a nice north breeze, lower humidity and highs in the 70s.

TROPICAL WEATHER: Hurricane Stan was demoted to a tropical storm
this morning after he moved inland into Mexico. He will still dump much
rain.
A large disturbed weather area near and east of the Bahamas remains
poorly organized. Winds upstairs are unfavorable now but that may change in
the next day or so. A reconnaissance flight scheduled for today was
cancelled but it may be rescheduled for tomorrow. As this discombobulated
system moves westward, heavy rains and gusty winds will spread across the NW
Bahamas this afternoon and tonight and across the Florida Peninsula
Wednesday.
This system may then get into the Gulf of Mexico. The solution after that is
not clear but it appears it will become elongated along the approaching cold
front approaching from the NW. This could dump much rain along the Atlantic
Seaboard. Indeed 6 to 7 inches a possibility near the East Florida Coast and
close to the Georgia-South Carolina-North Carolina coasts.

A BONA FIDE SNOWSTORM: The first one of the season for West and
North Montana, the mountains of North Utah, parts of North Dakota and the
high country of Colorado. Anywhere from 6 to 12 inches.other notes from
around the country...the low in Stanley, Idaho was 20...hottest yesterday,
102, Gila Bend, Arizona.

10 YEARS AGO OPAL: She made landfall late in the day on the NW
Florida Coast between Pensacola and Fort Walton. There was a peak gust of
144 mph at Mary Ester, near Fort Walton. A big storm surge brought extensive
damage to the coast. Opal continued inland passing near Montgomery around 10
pm and to near Anniston by midnight. Literally thousands of trees came down
in Alabama especially over the east half of the state. See a more complete
story about Opal on the 33/40 blog.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: At 3:33 this morning I heard a
"kerplunk" on my bed. It was Little Miss Molly. She walked up my body and
woofed in my face telling me I had to go for a walk. I looked her straight
in the eyes and said, "No, no Molly, time to go night-night again." She
curled up and went to sleep for two more hours...sure will be glad when she
gets her sleeping hours straight...we had a most pleasant half-mile
walk...she made me complete that even before the sun woke up but I don't
mind. I love her and life goes on.
