THE ALABAMA STORY: As happens so often in weather forecasting, we
look to the Gulf of Mexico for a lot of answers. The story is fairly
distinct along the coast, but the further inland you go, the chance
of rain becomes more questionable. Here in Central Alabama, including
the Tuscaloosa/Birmingham/Anniston corridor, we believe that dry
weather will continue tonight. Saturday there will be a slight chance
of a shower or thunderstorm, but we think mostly south of the I-20
corridor.

The tropical circulation along the NW Florida coast will continue to
track westward across coastal Alabama into extreme South Mississippi
tomorrow. Much of the circulation is already over land. While there
is a chance it could become Tropical Storm Jerry, it is unlikely this
system could reach hurricane force. Because of that possibility,
tropical storm warnings are in effect from the NW Florida coast
westward to the Louisiana coast. See tropical weather below for more
details. There will be an increase in showers and thunderstorms
inland to include Central Alabama on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. A
lot of moisture is being pulled inland, so it is going to be a whole
lot more humid for the next few days.

FOOTBALL WEATHER: Most high school games across Central and North
Alabama should have dry weather tonight with kick off temperatures in
the lower 80s. In college football, New Mexico State is at Auburn for
a 6:45 p.m. kick off Saturday. There is a small chance of a shower or
thunderstorm during the game. About 85 degrees at kick off and near
78 at the final whistle. Georgia will play Alabama in Tuscaloosa also
for a 6:45 p.m. kick off. Only a small risk of rain during the games.
Near 84 at kick off and about 76 for the final whistle. Same
situation for SE Missouri State playing Samford University in
Birmingham.

TROPICAL WEATHER: A major typhoon in the Far East was sort of
overlooked in this part of the world, but Typhoon Wipha created a
major tragedy when it moved into Eastern China earlier this week. It
quickly lost strength, but it destroyed hundreds of homes with
widespread power outages and water supplies ruined. Two million
people were evacuated. Can you imagine! Meanwhile, close to home, the
tropical depression continues westward just off the NW Florida coast
this afternoon. It could possibly become a tropical storm. If so, the
name will be Jerry. Landfall is projected somewhere in SW Mississippi
late in the weekend and then moving north of New Orleans.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Looking back over our long hot summer
walking with Little Miss Molly, one thing we noticed was a marked
decrease in the number of birds. I do not know where they go at times
like this. Maybe they stay hidden deep in the bushes to try to stay
cool, but I fear a lot of them die of dehydration. I know Molly got
plenty hot on many of our walks and she would simply plop down in the
smallest patch of shade she could find, plant her feet and refuse to
budge. We also have not seen the CR (Community Rabbit) or the CC
(Community Cat) in a long, long time. We miss seeing all the little
creatures as we go walking. We even noticed an extreme scarcity of
worms meeting us along the track, but life goes on.......
