THE ALABAMA STORY: I have always referred to the Gulf of Mexico as
our dear friend. I say that because that big body of water is the
main reason that Alabama is a very green state with lush vegetation,
great crop-growing country, fruit orchards, huge forests, lots of
rivers and streams—you name it. However, sometimes our good friend
treats us badly not letting us get enough rain, which we all know
about now. The eastern part of the Gulf is unsettled today as a low-
pressure area moving westward crossed the Florida Peninsula into the
Gulf. We will be watching this closely for the next several days in
case it becomes a tropical system. One projection is for it to
eventually move onshore either in South Mississippi or SE Louisiana.
Weather models have the low moving westward off shore and south of
Mobile and Biloxi Saturday and eventually into SE Louisiana. We are
not sure if it will become a named tropical storm. See our tropical
weather discussion below. Even if it does not become a tropical
storm, after it moves inland it will curve more northward and
eventually pull in some moisture to our area.

Here in Central Alabama, we should enjoy more sunny dry weather for
the next couple of days. A few showers could show up south of
Birmingham Saturday and we will then have a slight chance on
Saturday. Those should increase in number later Sunday or Monday. t
was another very pleasantly cool morning across the state. The lowest
temperature we could find was 48 at Muscadine near the Georgia
border. It was 50 in DeSoto State Park, 51 in Hamilton and 52 in Ft.
Payne and Hanceville.

TROPICAL WEATHER: That weak surface low entering the Eastern Gulf of
Mexico, along with an upper-level low, was producing a large area of
disturbed weather over the Western Atlantic westward to parts of the
Florida Peninsula and the Eastern Gulf of Mexcio. The NHC expects it
to possibly redevelop over the East Gulf in the next day or so and a
subtropical or tropical cyclone could form. If it moves as projected,
it will move across the North Gulf toward SE Louisiana. Here are some
expected results.

MOBILE: Showers and thunderstorms becoming numerous Friday afternoon
and night continuing on Saturday with rain locally heavy.
GULFPORT/BILOXI: Increasing showers and thunderstorms Friday night
becoming numerous with locally heavy rain Saturday. NEW ORLEANS:
Numerous showers and thunderstorms on Saturday with a good chance
continuing on Sunday.

If this system becomes a tropical storm, it will be named Jerry.

THREE-DOT STUFF: Would you believe a chance of some snow in the high
country of the Pacific Northwest…got a note from one of our readers
in Saranac Lake, New York this morning…she reports the autumn color
is really getting underway…west of the Aleutians last night, a ship
reported 90 mph wind gusts with several waterspouts…1.92 inches of
rain in Ft. Lauderdale…chilly temperatures this morning 29 in
Yellowstone National Park, 28 in Arctic Village, Alaska and 39 atop
Mt. LeConte in Great Smoky Mountain National Park.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Sometimes one can get too busy. I am
pointing to myself, because I have not had a long drawn out ballgame
with my Little Miss Molly until late this morning. I could tell she
had missed it. She was simply overjoyed. I don't feel too badly,
because the grandkids are doing a great job in walking and playing
with Molly. However, she still wants attention from me—her pal. Life
goes on.......
