...Hurricane Fatigue Setting In...

When will it ever end? Hurricane season, that is. Officially it ends at the
end of November but clearly this year has been an overkill. People along the
Gulf Coast are extremely wary.

Now we have Wilma, the last name on the 2005 list and she is definitely no
pushover.

We hope you will check in on our weather blog especially when Wilma gets
closer to the USA. We will have frequent updates and lots of extra
information.
Late Wednesday night, Wilma actually had a slight demotion to a Category 4.
However, she may intensify again to Category 5 today. She was centered about
235 miles SE of Cozumel, Mexico with sustained winds down slightly to 155
mph. That still makes her a devastating hurricane.
The latest track forecast has not changed much. After skirting the Yucatan
she is expected to curve NE and pass across the south part of the Florida
Peninsula Saturday night and early Sunday. Keep in close touch with this
one.

ALABAMA AFFECTED?: Unlikely unless Wilma fails to get picked up by a low
pressure trough aloft. Then all bets are off. We do have a couple of cold
fronts that will move toward Alabama. Due to a low aloft passing to our
north, we could very well have a band of clouds swinging down this way
beginning on Saturday. It will be a lot cooler with highs dropping back to
the mid and upper 60s.

Meanwhile, with mostly sunshine, it will be unseasonably warm today with
highs in the mid and upper 80s. That's about 14 degrees too warm for October
20. Very little rain expected.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: With my wife in the hospital (total knee
replacement) I am having to spend extra time with Little Miss Molly. She
clearly knows when one of us is missing and she acts differently. Last
night, when I can home from the hospital, she jumped with joy to see me,
then looked sad when a second person did not come in the garage door. She
had four half mile walks Wednesday. She and I are pooped.
