NO MORE 100-DEGREE HEAT: At least we don't think so. That would be
most unusual this late in the season but it's not out of the
question. One of our worst heat waves on record came in September 1925.

We weather humans celebrate tomorrow as the first day of autumn. Is
it possible that certain words sound cooler than others? To me, the
word September just sounds cooler than August. I know that is
stretching the point.

A weak front pushed into extreme North Alabama overnight. It was
hardly noticeable although the dew point dropped some across the
Tennessee Valley. We do not believe the front will eliminate
thunderstorm activity. Besides it will stall. We are going to keep
scattered showers and thunderstorms in the weather picture for the
next 5-7 days. There will be at least some variations from day to
day. High temperatures will be persistent in the upper 80s or maybe
slightly above 90.

FOOTBALL WEATHER: Both Alabama and Auburn have home games Saturday
night with Alabama playing Western Carolina and Auburn hosting Kansas
State. Temperatures will be between 80 and 85 at kickoff and there
will be some threat of scattered afternoon thunderstorms especially
early in the game. UAB plays Michigan State East-Lansing Saturday
with an 11:00 a.m. kickoff. The weather could not be better with
sunshine and low humidity. At kickoff, it should be about 75 degrees
with a high near 80 during the game. For high school football games
tonight, there is a risk of thunderstorms continuing through the
evening with temperatures in the upper 70s at kickoff.

TROPICAL WEATHER: A tropical depression is forming 200 miles east of
the Windward Islands. An Air Force plane is in the area. It could
very well become a tropical storm. If so, the name will be Felix. A
small low-pressure area 215 miles south of Nantucket, Mass. still has
some potential to be a tropical cyclone before it reaches cooler waters.

THE WORLD OF WEATHER: Huntsville was expecting to see the 33rd day
in a row with temperatures 90 or above today. Out in Phoenix they
have already reached a record of 29 days in a row with temperatures
of 110 or higher. Cool spots this morning included 35 at Doylesville,
CO., and 34 at Barter Island and Dead Horse Alaska.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: The two grandkids slept late so it
became my duty for the first time in 2 weeks to go on an early
morning ½ mile walk with little Miss Molly. I could immediately tell
the difference. The kids have been going on ½ mile runs instead of a
walk so it took me the first 100 yards to try to slow her down like
Roy Rogers used to do in the old movies getting a runaway stagecoach
under control. Like old times, however, I sure have missed those
walks, but have enjoyed the break. Life goes on, rush, rush, rush......
