AUTUMN FINALLY GETS HERE: Yes, we know, the official arrival was
earlier, but now you can tell it on the thermometer. This afternoon the cold
front marking the leading edge of the cooler air was near Montgomery and up
into East-Central Alabama. We have two things working on our weather today:
not only is the cooler air fighting its way southward, but tropical air is
moving up from the Gulf of Mexico over the south and east part of the state.
Rain was rather extensive this afternoon in areas east of I-65 and some of
it was locally heavy. Alexander City had already received 1.40 inches of
rain by early this morning.

As the cooler air edges its way southward, the rain over East
Alabama will gradually be removed, but some of it could linger into early
Saturday morning. After that, we look for generally dry weather through the
middle of next week with very pleasant afternoon temperatures and cool
nights. Lows will be consistently in the 50s, although we could have some
upper 40s Sunday morning in some of the North Alabama valleys.

FOOTBALL WEATHER: For high school games this evening, the kick -off
temperature will be in the 50s over the NW half of the state and in the 60s
in the east. Most of West Alabama should be dry, but games east of I-65 may
be played in some rain. For college football Saturday, SMU will be at Legion
Field to play UAB. It should be about 65 at kick off cooling to the upper
50s by the end of the game. Dry weather.

WHERE, OH, WHERE IS TAMMY? That non-lady had a mind of her own. Her
roadmap told her to go up the east coast to New England. Instead, she made a
left turn, came across Georgia, curved down across SE Alabama and went out
into the northern Gulf of Mexico. How could she misread so many road signs?
Not much left of her. Further down there is a broad low pressure area near
the SW coast of Florida. It is weakening and tropical cyclone formation is
unlikely. That other broad area of low pressure over the NE Gulf is merging
with a cold front. Part of that is Tammy's remains. No tropical
redevelopment is expected at this time.

WEATHER NOTEBOOK: People up along that big river that flows across
extreme North Alabama are probably wearing light coats this afternoon. It
was near 60 degrees with brisk north winds. That is ideal short-sleeve shirt
weather for me...the USA low this morning was 18 at the west entrance to
Yellowstone National Park. Yesterday morning it was as low as 8 above zero
in SE Montana.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: I wish you could have peeked in on the
big reunion last night. When I picked up my wife at the airport, we decided
to play a little trick on Little Miss Molly. I walked in from the garage to
the kitchen first as if I were the only one. Little Miss Molly hopped up on
the back of the couch with her tail swishing like a funeral home church fan
waiting for her treat. Judy waited another 30 seconds and stepped in the
garage door. Molly forgot the treat, jumped down off the couch, raced around
into the kitchen at breakneck speed. When she turned the corner, her rear
end skidded out of control and slammed into a cabinet. It sounded like she
was tap dancing on the tile floor. You never saw so much hugging and
cuddling. Earlier in the afternoon, I had asked Molly, "Where is Mommy?" She
immediately looked back over her shoulder at the garage door. Last night
Molly slept all night cuddled in Judy's arms. It was a great homecoming.
Life goes on.
