RAIN BECOMING WIDESPREAD TONIGHT: Here we go with another wet
weather event. We have had a number of these lately. Showers were
already numerous and widespread across Louisiana and Mississippi this
afternoon. This is a slow-moving storm system, so it will have time to
give most Alabama communities considerable rain. There should be a
good average of 1 to 2 inches across much of the state and some
communities could receive in excess of 2 inches.

Most of our rain will come tonight and Tuesday, although it may
decrease Tuesday afternoon. There could even be a few leftover showers
Tuesday night and early Wednesday morning. After that, look for milder
and dry weather Thursday, Friday and most of Saturday. Temperatures
will bounce back to the 70s Thursday and over the weekend. Some
communities may reach 80 Friday afternoon since we are expecting a
good amount of sunshine.

ELECTION DAY WEATHER: Wet in most areas, but that is no excuse to
not get out to vote. Rain should be rather widespread across the state
with some locally heavy amounts.

SNOW THIS WINTER? Don't know, of course, but good friend Joe Aloia,
tells me his squirrels are not only in a hurry to store nuts, but they
are throwing them at him. If that name sounds familiar, Joe was with
the old WSGN radio (remember 20/20 News?).

OUR WORLD OF WEATHER: Did you know that it had snowed in Miami? It
happened on January 19, 1977 for the first time ever. Not just a few
hard-to-see flakes, instead it was a brief dusting…temperatures today
at Dawson in the Yukon Territory of NW Canada hanging out around 30
below zero. That is one of the main stations we watch for Arctic air
buildup during the winter…another heavy rain event for the Pacific NW.
They don't need a drop. As much as 12 inches of rain may fall from
this storm in the Cascade Mountains in Western Washington State…19 at
Gunnison, Colorado was one of the coldest spots in the lower 48 states
this morning…I had promised myself I would take a drive up the Paint
Rock Valley in extreme North Alabama to see autumn foliage this year.
It is one of my favorite drives. I am not going to make it, but check
out the excellent photos by Tom Randel on our blog.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: It is really funny to watch Molly when
she is out walking every day. It amazes me that she can go along at
full speed with her little nostrils only 2 inches off of the ground
and her tail wagging like the rotor blade on a helicopter. I wish I
could get down and crawl that fast and see what I could smell. But I
read a story about that today. Inside a dog's nose are membranes that
are so sensitive to odor that a dog can smell at least 1,000 times
better than a human…our recent cold weather definitely means no more
mosquitoes. The only confirmed sighting that I had this summer was in
my office. It flew across between my face and computer screen. I swung
so widely at it with a TIME magazine that I tore off the cover. Don't
know what happened to the little rascal…Molly got lots of playtime
yesterday and last night. She was overjoyed. Life goes on.....
