BLUEST SKY SINCE BEFORE COLUMBUS DISCOVERED AMERICA: Well, that is
not true, but I thought it would grab your attention. As I drove all
across Deerfoot Parkway in NE Jefferson County this morning, the sky
was brilliant blue and it seemed you could see forever. The lower
humidity was definitely noticeable. Before we discuss the future, we
want to list a representative sampling of low temperatures across
Alabama this morning:

50 in Valley Head, DeSoto State Park, Crossville, Black Creek
(actually 49.6 in Black Creek)
51 in Russellville
52 in Cottondale and Cullman Airport
54 in Jasper and Ft. Payne
56 in East Trussville (Jay Shelley, retired NWS), Anniston, Tuscaloosa
57 in Inverness, Arab, Birmingham, Decatur

Great weather on through the weekend, although it will get a bit
hotter by Sunday and some places will reach the 90-degree mark and
there will be some increase in humidity by then. The humidity will
stay low through Saturday with highs in the mid and upper 80s and lows
in the upper 50s. Translation: great football weather for Friday night
high school and Saturday college. Our next rain will come on Monday as
another cold front approaches. The scattered showers and thunderstorms
late Monday and Monday night should end early Tuesday as a fresh
supply of cooler air arrives.

OUR VAST WEATHER WORLD: The weatherscape across North America is
beginning to change. Colder air pushing down from Western Canada will
bring snow to the North and Central Rockies. At midday, it was a cold
38 degrees with a steady rain at St. Mary, Montana and 33 with
visibility of ¼ mile and snow at Mullen Pass, Idaho. Some of the
mountains in Western Montana may get over a foot of snow in the higher
elevations…low temperatures this morning 31 at Hibbing, Minnesota and
28 at Gulkana, Alaska.

ALL ABOUT THE TROPICS: Hurricane Gordon has become a major hurricane
way out in the Atlantic some 560 miles ESE of Bermuda. Sustained winds
were 120 mph with gusts to 150. He should not bother land. Tropical
Storm Helene should become a hurricane Friday, but she is expected to
move NW and north over the open Atlantic also. A nervous weather area
over the Eastern Caribbean has calmed down.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: I did not think I would ever see it
happen. Little Miss Molly turned down a ballgame. I guess she was
justified. We played three long innings late last night and she was so
pooped that her tongue was hanging out constantly and her tail had
almost quit wagging. When I threw the last ball to her, she let it go
by, hopped up on my ex-National Geographic blanket, curled up and went
sound asleep. I tried to waken her later for another game, but she
said no. delightful walk this morning. I believe she wanted to go all
the way to Knoxville. Everything is so fresh and green, but we did
notice some leaves turning on the fourth floor of the Old Crow
Motel—could be due to old age. Life goes on.....
