CHANCE OF SCATTERED LIGHT RAIN FOR TRICK OR TREATERS: We have
another cold front coming down the pike, which will eventually move
through Alabama. While there will be some showers ahead of that front
and during the frontal passage, we do not expect any widespread heavy
rain like we had with recent cold fronts moving through.

This afternoon, scattered light rain was indicated on radar over
North and Central Alabama. Because the air was so extremely dry all
the way up to about 18,000 feet, it will be a while before much of
that rain reaches the ground. For the trick or treat hours early this
evening, there could be some scattered light rain, but no downpours
and temperatures will be in the lower 60s with not much wind. Tomorrow
there will be some more showers, mostly in the afternoon and evening,
as the front gets closer. It will be turning cooler Wednesday night.
Thursday, Friday and Saturday should be dry with chilly nights and
afternoon temperatures in the 60s. It looks like October is going to
come to an end wetter than normal for many sections of the state.
Nearly 5 inches has fallen at Birmingham in what is normally our
driest month of the year.

FOOTBALL WEATHER: UAB is in Dallas tonight to play SMU. It should be
dry, but breezy and cool with temperatures in the 50s for most of the
game. We will have the rest of the football forecast Thursday and
Friday.

TROPICAL WEATHER: Showers and thunderstorms were over much of the
Western Caribbean and adjacent land areas. It is part of a broad
trough of low pressure. Rain will be heavy with this disturbance.
However, tropical development if any will be slow to occur.

OUR WORLD OF WEATHER: We have had our weather eyes focused toward
the north for quite some time. It is unusually cold over the far north
country for October or even early November. This includes Northern
Canada, Alaska, Greenland and the Northern USA. This morning, the
temperature dropped to a bitter 14 below zero at Gates Pass, Montana
and 13 below at Placer, Montana…warm spot yesterday was Gila Bend,
Arizona with 88.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Ah, yes, the sights and sounds to start
a new day. It is my favorite time of the day. When Little Miss Molly
was a little younger, she was up and bouncing around at 5:00 a.m. Now
she sleeps a little longer and when she first wakes up, it sure is
funny to see her stretch and moan and groan. But then, she uses her
front paws to pull and her back feet to push and she goes all the way
across the living area sliding. This is apparently her way of giving
herself a belly rub to start the day. Out at sunrise again. Lots of
interesting clouds to see and the autumn color is increasing. Again,
we were glad to hear a group of old crows doing a fly over. They are
either in town for a family reunion or just getting back from the
World Series. We did not see or hear another single dog. Molly misses
peaking through the hedgerow to see if she can see little Jo-Jo in his
backyard. His owners may be keeping him inside since he was injured by
a mean dog passing through the community. Not sure that dog has been
caught yet. Another sighting yesterday afternoon when the dog walked
across our driveway and up the middle of the street. I tried to coax
him to come back and maybe hold him on our back patio, but to no
avail. Life goes on....
