LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN NEXT 24 HOURS: Thanks to Hurricane Humberto, who
is no longer a hurricane, we should get a lot of rain tonight and
Friday. Even after dropping to tropical depression status, Humberto
will still be loaded with moisture. This storm system should bring
more rain to Alabama than we have had in a long time. Depending on
the future path, we believe Central Alabama will get around 2 inches
of rain and possibly a little more.

There is still a little mystery with Humberto. The remnants should
move east across Central Mississippi Friday and into West/Central
Alabama Friday evening. If that holds true, it should be a good rain
producer for us, but it could very well cause problems with high
school football games Friday night. Probably the most difficult part
of the forecast is for Saturday. We believe, however, that most of
the showers by early Saturday will be south of Birmingham and mainly
down over South Alabama. Meanwhile, cooler and drier air will spill
in behind Humberto from the north. This should bring us clearing
weather on Saturday with noticeably lower humidity. Sunday weather
should be a real treat with mostly sunshine, low humidity and highs
about 84. We are calling for a cool 54-degree low Sunday morning
across Central Alabama. This means that some of the cooler valleys in
North and NE Alabama could have 48. Dry weather should last well into
next week.

TROPICAL WEATHER: Humberto moved ashore at the SE corner of Texas
early today. He intensified rapidly before making landfall and
sustained winds reached 85 mph. This afternoon the circulation was
moving across Central Louisiana. He had picked up speed, somewhat, so
SE Texas and much of Louisiana will not get as much rain as
originally forecast. Houston escaped with no real flood problems.
Meanwhile, Tropical Depression #8 was still way out in the Atlantic.
The projection by next Tuesday is for it to be approaching the
Northern Leeward Islands on a path that would put it north of Puerto
Rico. Not sealed in stone by any means.

THREE-DOT STUFF: Found out last night at church, that long time
friend, Patsy Westerhouse, thought that NOAA Weather Radio was
spelled NOAH in the Bible and had some connection with the master
flood….believe it or not, a number of other people over the years
made that connection…we even had a person drive out to 11 West Oxmoor
Road once to see the weather radio facility and find out specifically
what NOAA stood for (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration)
… there was wind damage when Humberto came ashore, but no widespread
major damage…freeze warning tonight for much of the Dakotas, which
will end their growing season and send the rest of the mosquitoes
into oblivion…80% of the Alabama corn crop is still rated in Very
Poor or Poor condition because of the drought…Tuscaloosa rain
deficiency still over 24 inches.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: I slept in two places last night—the
bed and my recliner. Got up several times to do a weather update.
Little Miss Molly would barely raise her head each time I got up, but
every time I would pause long enough to love her and give her a belly
rub. She acts real puzzled about our weird hours sometimes. Often she
gets so tired, she puts herself to bed and seems annoyed when we come
later and wake her up.....
