GREAT WEATHER THROUGH THE WEEKEND: A cold front acted like it was
hiding in the woods this morning, but it is slowly spreading cooler
and drier air down across Alabama from the NW. A few showers developed
early this afternoon in SW Alabama, mainly in the Demopolis-Camden
area. Those will end early this evening.

With all the ground level moisture and the sky trying to clear
overnight, look for patchy fog to develop late tonight and early
tomorrow morning. Bright sunshine will be the order of the day for
Thursday and you will feel a noticeable drop in the humidity. The dry
weather will continue all the way through Sunday with lots of sunshine
and mostly clear, cool nights. For the next two nights, we are
forecasting lows in the upper 50s. Some of those cool spots, like good
old Valley Head, could drop as low as 50-52.

That was a big rain event for Alabama in the last 24-36 hours. It
appeared that every square mile of the state received rain. Numerous
communities received over 2 inches. There is a complete list on the
33/40 blog. Some of the heavier rain was in Central Alabama with as
much as 6 inches in the Childersburg area. This was our most
widespread soaking rain probably since Hurricane Ivan.

NEXT RAIN EVENT: Scattered showers and thunderstorms later Monday
and continuing into early Tuesday. By next Wednesday, the long range
outlook is for another surge of cooler air to spread across Alabama.

OUR TROPICAL WORLD: Not much to worry about for the USA for the
moment. Hurricane Gordon was way out in the mid Atlantic by himself
and only causing headaches to the fishes of the sea. He should stay
out in the open Atlantic as he curves NE. Florence is no longer a
hurricane and the remnants was passing south of Newfoundland. The
newer tropical depression #8 was way out in the Eastern Atlantic.
Early indications are this one will not bother us either.

SIGNS OF THE TIMES: Colder air mobilizing in Canada will bring the
first snow of the season down into the USA North and Central Rockies
over the next several days. There will almost certainly be some
accumulations in the higher elevations of Yellowstone National Park.
The first snow is expected to develop in the mountains of Northern
Utah Friday night. Over the weekend, there will probably be some
thunder-snow in places like Vail and Aspen in the Colorado high
country…coldest temperature this morning was 26 at Embarrass, Minn. It
was in the low 20s in Northern Canada.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Horrors! Two of our neighbors across
the street noticed damage to their yard. It turned out to be an
armadillo. I do not know much about them, but my wife was raised
around them in the Arizona desert. I can imagine what would happen if
Little Miss Molly meets that armadillo on the walking track after
dark. She will surely think it is super rabbit and will take off after
it like a rocket. I must be real careful. I understand that they move
very slowly and will curl up to protect themselves if noisy Molly
approaches. Life goes on.
