COOL TONIGHT, MILDER ON TUESDAY: This is the time of year when we
are getting out of the lazy weather pattern into a more active one.
Summer weather patterns can be awfully sluggish, but everything starts
picking up speed in October as we head through autumn and on toward
winter. Today's sunshine will give way to some cloudiness Tuesday,
however we think showers and thunderstorms will hold off until
Wednesday. A few of those storms could be strong. Those will continue
much of Wednesday night. The showers should end at some point Thursday
morning as brisk NW winds set in bringing us cooler temperatures.
Friday and Saturday should be dry with typical autumn weather, but
there will be a chance of some showers and storms returning on Sunday.

TROPICAL WEATHER: All across the great Atlantic Ocean, the Caribbean
Sea and our old friend, the Gulf of Mexico, there are no indications
of tropical storm development for at least the next few days.

OUR WORLD OF WEATHER: 93 was the hottest in the lower 48 yesterday
at Harlingen, Texas…coldest this morning was 23 at International
Falls, Minnesota where they used to film those Die Hard battery
commercials…interesting weather across Alaska today where Chinook
winds are involved. At good old Deadhorse at midday, it was 27 degrees
with winds gusting to 64 mph and a wind chill of 7…Barter Island had
27 degrees with east winds hurricane force (74 mph)…big flood problems
in the Mid-Atlantic States over the weekend. Newport News, Virginia
got 10 inches of rain out of that storm system and that was typical of
many other areas…severe thunderstorm watches today for Eastern Arizona
and the south half of New Mexico. Tomorrow there will be a slight risk
of severe weather over SE Oklahoma, NE Texas, West and SW
Arkansas…lots of snow expected in the high country of Wyoming, Central
Colorado and SW Montana.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Interesting report in the news telling
about scooping poop is becoming a major business for some folks. Two
University of Virginia graduates started such a business and they now
have 1,500 customers in 7 states and pulling in over $1 million
annually. Think I will get in the business. If I had charged only 10
cents for all the guest scoops in the last 4 years, I would have a
chunk of change. If I did get in the business, I would name it King of
Poop. I would custom design a golf cart with little scoops mounted in
the front and garbage bags hanging off the side. It would be called
the Poopmobile. I would offer Little Miss Molly a special discount…I
wish all of you could have been with Little Miss Molly and I on our
Saturday night walk just as that harvest moon was coming up over the
eastern horizon. It was a huge moon, 12% larger than normal, and it
looked like a huge basketball hanging in the sky. When we passed the
Old Crow Motel, the moon backlighted the discombobulated rooms
(limbs). There were about 5 birds taking a nap up in the Old Crow.
They showed up as 5 small black silhouettes. They were not crows. It
was one of the most enjoyable scenes you could imagine…gone all day
Saturday to be with some weather geeks atop Mt. Cheaha. That was two
days out of three that I was gone most of the day. I am convinced that
Little Miss Molly keeps a time sheet on me, because she would not let
me out of her sight. ...
