...Heavy Rain and Thunderstorms Today...

A MOSTLY DRY WEEKEND WITH COOLER NIGHTS: Fast changes continue in Alabama
weather and our worst weather, by far, will be today. A strong low pressure
system swinging eastward from Oklahoma and Arkansas will pass across Middle
Tennessee later today. This will be pulling vast amounts of moist air
northward.

Meanwhile, a cold front will reach Central Alabama late today or early this
evening. Our most active weather will be until late afternoon. Rain will be
locally heavy today and thunderstorms will also become involved. The NWS has
much of South Alabama outlooked for a slight risk of severe weather today
and a tornado is not out of the question.

This is a very wet weather system. There is an excellent chance that a big
chunk of Alabama will see the heavy rain. In fact, a rather broad zone from
South Mississippi NE through Central Alabama into North Georgia may receive
in excess of 3 inches of rain with some spots possibly getting near 4
inches. The showers and storms in Central Alabama should diminish greatly
late today. The weekend should be dry and we do not see any return of
showers until the middle part of next week. Afternoon temperatures will be
fairly close to normal for late October.

FOOTBALL WEATHER: While we believe that precipitation will greatly diminish
by late afternoon, it is not certain that all of the rain will be gone by
kickoff time for high school games tonight. Temperatures will drop into the
50s during the game and it will also be windy. On Saturday for college
games: Auburn will be at Old Miss for an 11:30 game. Partly sunny dry
weather with a high of 65 during the game. Florida International will be in
Tuscaloosa to play Alabama at 2:00 p.m. Partly sunny, near 66 degrees at
kickoff, but in the 50s in the fourth quarter. In Birmingham, it is the
Magic City Classic at Legion Field when Alabama State meets Alabama A&M at
2:30 p.m. Dry weather with temperatures peaking near 63 lowering into the
50s before the game is over.

OUR WORLD OF WEATHER: What a terrific snowstorm Friday in the Colorado
Rockies and other areas of the west. Both Denver and Colorado Springs were
almost paralyzed and travel was highly discouraged. Blizzard conditions
occurred over SE Colorado where there were big snowdrifts. A number of
places received more than 20 inches of snow.out on the Plains, there was
blowing sand and a Tornado Watch for SW Kansas-a true mixed bag.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Neighbors at the far north end of the walking
track believe they sighted the angry dog again yesterday walking north. We
will have to go on guard again as we walk.certainly would not want for
Little Miss Molly to be suddenly attacked before I could grab her and run.
Several neighbors were walking with sticks. Life goes on.
