=============================================

SCATTERED VALLEY FROST SATURDAY MORNING: Cooler air is the wave of
the future for Alabama and the cooler air will arrive in two parts. By
morning, it will be about 12 degrees cooler than it was this morning.
Another cold front will arrive Thursday and bring our lowest
temperature on Saturday morning.

We may see a few thunderstorms into this evening. There is also a
chance of some showers again tomorrow afternoon as a second front
arrives. Scattered showers this afternoon were mostly over the central
part of the state into the NE counties. Both Friday and Saturday
should feature mostly sunshine. We will do good to reach the lower 60s
Friday afternoon, but highs Saturday and Sunday will be back in the
70s. We are forecasting an average low of 38 across Central Alabama
Saturday morning, as a high pressure area will be established directly
over Alabama. With a clear sky and little or no wind, there may be
some scattered frost in the traditional cooler valleys. This is
especially true for places like Pinson, Bridgeport, Valley Head and
Hamilton.

TROPICAL WEATHER: A tropical wave will be moving WNW across the
Windward and Leeward Islands into the Eastern Caribbean over the next
couple of days. All of this is unfriendly territory and at this time
it appears that tropical development will be unlikely…at this time way
back in 1780, what became known as the Great Hurricane was in
progress. It is believed that 22,000 people died in a week-long
rampage. This included 9,000 on Martinique. Thousands more died at
sea.

OUR WORLD OF WEATHER: 95 was the hottest temperature in the USA
Tuesday at Persimmon Gap in SW Texas (yes, we do get daily reports
from there)…coldest this morning was 18 at Wolf Point, Montana. Wolf
Point is located out on the open plains of NE Montana where it always
seems like there is nothing between that community and the North Pole
except a few fences…big amounts of rain in parts of Texas in the last
24 hours, including 3.97 inches at Bardwell Lake in Ellis County, 3.30
at Lovelady and 2.74 at Houston.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: My favorite time to walk is just after
the crack of dawn up until just past sunrise. The sky is so pretty at
that time of day and it seems like I am the only person in the world
awake. I took my time this morning, because I wanted to look closely
at the autumn foliage situation. I am afraid I am addicted to autumn
foliage like I am sausage balls and pop tarts. Unfortunately, there is
not much autumn foliage in my tiny corner. The two Bradford pear trees
in my backyard have a few leaves that have turned, but they seem pale.
We really do need rain to save our autumn color season. October has
been extremely dry so far and most communities have not had enough
rain to wet the streets. But life goes on and Little Miss Molly makes
it much more pleasurable.
