ONE OF OUR COOLEST NIGHTS AHEAD: Actually, last night's low
temperatures were about the lowest we've had since last spring and we
even had some upper 30s reported in the extreme north this morning.
Here is a sampling of the early morning lows:

37 in Belle Mina
40 in Valley Head, Black Creek and Cottondale
41 at Russellville Airport
42 in Pinson, Crossville and DeSoto State Park
43 at Hanceville, Collinsville, Scottsboro and Ft. Payne Airport
44 at Huntsville, Courtland and Vinemont (the Vinemont low was the
lowest since last spring)
45 in Anniston, Tuscaloosa, Cullman and Alabaster

Tonight's lows should be similar, but it could be a degree or two
lower in some spots. Most of the weekend is going to be sunny. We do
not see any significant chance of rain all the way through much of
next week. By Tuesday, places like Tuscaloosa and Livingston could
reach 90.

FOOTBALL WEATHER: For high school games tonight, what can we say?
Just go out and enjoy the game. Perfect weather. Temperatures at
kickoff should be in the mid 60s and upper 50s by the final whistle.
The cool front that moved through here yesterday, is all the way down
into Central Florida. This means good weather for the Alabama-Florida
game in Gainesville Saturday afternoon. About 85 degrees for the 2:30
kickoff and in the 70s in the fourth quarter. The dew point will be
around 58-60, so even the humidity will be lower than normal. UAB
hosts Troy for their homecoming game at Legion Field tomorrow night.
Again, perfect weather with temperatures falling into the 60s.

TROPICAL WEATHER: Tropical Storm Isaac still has winds of only 45
mph. He was 550 miles ESE of Bermuda. He will stay over open water as
he curves toward the north and then the NE.

OUR WORLD OF WEATHER: Did you know that on an average day across the
lower 48 states, 4,200 billion gallons of water falls each day in the
form of precipitation? That boggles my little mind…in search of cold
temperatures this morning, we found near zero in Northern Canada, 21
at Spincich Lake, Michigan, 26 at Barrow, Alaska and 27 at Gunnison
and Alamosa, Colorado.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: For a time I thought Little Miss Molly
was reaching middle age (age 4) because she would not make me go for
the morning walk until after 8 o'clock. Lately she has reverted to her
old self and this morning she had me out before sunrise. We saw one
lone bird sitting stone still on a fence, but we heard our dear
friends, the two old crows, at a distance. I suppose the rest of the
birds were still in their little homes watching their one-square inch
TV sets getting news, weather and traffic. Please excuse my
over-active imagination…I am working on that problem…Molly has been
stalking me all day, petitioning for a ball game. She is relentless.
Life goes on despite all the pressure.
