LOWEST TEMPERATURES THIS SEASON SATURDAY MORNING: The weather
marches on, which is not that unusual for September and October. It is
the transition season when we are moseying our way from summer toward
winter. In keeping with that, some clouds will move into Central
Alabama late tonight. We will have a chance of some showers and
possibly even a thunderstorm tomorrow, followed rather quickly by
clearing and cooler weather Thursday night. After that, dry weather
Friday through Sunday. We think now any showers on Sunday will be
closer to the Tennessee border with Central Alabama staying dry. We
are looking for our lowest temperature so far this season Friday night
and Saturday morning. We are calling for an average low across Central
Alabama of 45. It is near certain that some of the traditional cold
spots in North Alabama could see 38. A quick warm up for Saturday
afternoon and even warmer on Sunday as temperatures top 80 degrees
again.

FOOTBALL WEATHER: It starts early this week as Auburn plays South
Carolina in Columbia Thursday night. There is a slight chance of a
shower during the game. The temperature should be near 77 at kickoff
and near 70 by the final touchdown.

TROPICAL WEATHER: The nervous weather area 850 miles NE of the
Northern Leeward Islands (translation: way out in the Atlantic) is a
little better organized. It could become a tropical depression later
today or tonight. Another smaller disturbed area was 200 miles east of
the Leewards. The next names include Isaac, Joyce, Kirk, Leslie and
Michael…way back in 1906, a major hurricane struck Pensacola and
Mobile.

THE WORLD OF WEATHER: A snow avalanche gets faster and faster as it
cascades down the mountain. In some extreme cases, a large avalanche
can travel over 200 mph and weigh a million tons…in search of cold
temperatures this morning, we found 31 at Jefferson, N.C., 38 atop
6,684 ft. Mt. Mitchell, 27 at Pittsfield Farm, Maine, 28 at
Whitefield, N.H. and Saranac Lake, N.Y., 34 atop Mt. LeConte in the
Smoky Mountains and 24 at Stanley, Idaho.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Never thought this would ever happen to
me and I need to word this carefully, because I have received several
objections about referring to little dogs bathroom habits. Molly and I
went for a walk yesterday afternoon—action exploded immediately. A
young lady was sitting in the gazebo adjacent to our house with her
two dogs, a middle-sized one and the other one the largest one in the
community. The large dog always wants to play with Molly, but is a bit
aggressive. Molly pulled me toward the gazebo. Both dogs came at her
so fast that they wrapped their leashes around my ankles twice and I
could not move. Molly had panicked and was insisting that I pick her
up. Meanwhile, the large dog assumed I was a fireplug, lifted his hind
leg and let fly. My pants leg was wet from the knee down. Even my sock
got wet. I quickly got untangled and Molly took off like a shuttle
launch and I was right behind her going slosh, slosh, slosh. I finally
got her consoled. Life goes on and we never know what to expect. Life
is exciting with that little 9-pound girl and I am so happy that she
has reversed my aging....
