TWO FRONTS TO PAY US A VISIT: It did reach at least 90 at Birmingham
Airport again this afternoon before some showers arrived in the area.
That has happened time and time again this summer. We will do a count
on those in a day or two. Now, all of us weather people are semi-
excited about two fronts coming our way. There are some questionable
decisions to be made on just how far the first front will get south
of Birmingham before parking itself. That will determine greatly how
many showers or storms we will get tomorrow. We think we will have
scattered ones here in Central Alabama, but most of them south of
Birmingham. Down over South Alabama, near the coast, there will be a
lot of showers and thunderstorms Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. The
extreme south part of the state needs the rain a lot less than north
and central sections.

The second front is the one we are most interested in. It should come
into our area Friday night or Saturday and bring us a noticeable drop
in humidity and some cooler temperatures for the weekend. We are
going to list Saturday as being dry with decreasing clouds and a
brisk north wind and highs only in the mid 80s and noticeably lower
humidity. We are also going to call your attention to low
temperatures early on Sunday morning around 58 or 60. There are a lot
of the North Alabama valleys that may see mid 50s. That is going to
feel extremely pleasant after our long, hot summer. Sunday looks
great with almost all sunshine and low humidity.

TROPICAL WEATHER: What is left of Gabrielle was falling apart south
of Nova Scotia this afternoon. It was moving ENE at over 20 mph. The
last advisory has been issued. A tropical wave far away in the
Atlantic, 1,250 miles east of the Windward Islands has weakened a
bit, but it is still possible for it to become a tropical depression
in a day or two as it moves WNW about 10 mph. Showers and storms with
a broad low-pressure area in the Gulf of Mexico 100 miles east of the
lower Texas coast. Upper-level winds have become a little more
favourable for development, although it will be hindered somewhat by
being so close to land.

THREE DOT STUFF: Nice to see a large mass of cool air headed south…
43 in Chicago tonight…26 in Stanley, Idaho this morning…growing
season should end tonight over Northern Wisconsin and much of
Minnesota…19 below zero at Summit, Greenland today atop the ice cap…
it is cooling down over a big chunk of the Far North…the Birmingham
normal high has dropped to 86 after being at 91 during mid summer…
nice pleasant 60 this morning in DeSoto State Park…114 in Death
Valley yesterday…3.80 inches of rain at Love Field in Dallas in the
last 24 hours.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: For only the second time in two weeks,
I escorted my little 9-pound pal, known as Little Miss Molly, on her
morning walk. The grandkids have been doing that and I sure have
missed it. I woke Miss Molly this morning and I simply love to see
her first three minutes awakening. It is yawn, yawn, yawn, stretch,
stretch, stretch, look up at me with the most pleasant expression and
await her traditional head scratching and belly rub. She is so warm
it feels like her body temperature is 140. It takes her only 3
minutes to go from a deep sleep to fully charged energy. I am trying
to get her to teach me to change my metabolism to one like hers. Life
goes on. Busy, busy, busy.....
