AUTUMN ROLLING UP ITS SLEEVES: It is getting that time of year.
Things are coming together that will bring two fronts to our neck of
the woods over the next few days. The first one will not have a great
impact as far as temperatures are concerned, but the second one
arriving this weekend could send the old thermometer to around 60 by
Sunday morning with some upper 50s in the North Alabama valleys. The
humidity will also drop off over the weekend. We may have to eat our
weather maps later, but that is the scenario we are going with now.
What does this mean for the rain bucket?

The rain situation is the most important issue at hand for the
moment. There could be a few showers or thunderstorms later today and
this evening, however there should be an increase in showers and
storms by Tuesday afternoon, as the first front approaches from the
NW. We think the best chance of showers will shift south of the
Birmingham area on Wednesday, although we may get some. There is also
a slight chance on Thursday. As the second front gets closer, we look
for scattered showers and storms on Friday. The noticeably cooler air
will arrive on Saturday with any showers ending with breezy and
cooler weather Saturday night. Rain amounts are hard to judge at this
time, but a number of places here in Central Alabama could easily get
1 inch or more.

TROPICAL WEATHER: Tropical Depression Gabrielle is out of the
picture for the USA. It was located more than 300 miles SSW of
Nantucket, Massachusetts and moving NE. A tropical wave was midway
between the Cape Verde Islands and the Lesser Antilles. It was
producing a large area of clouds and thunderstorms and was slowly
becoming better organized. It may be a tropical depression in a day
or so as it moves westward 10 to 15. There was another tropical wave
over the Windward and Leeward Islands, but not as impressive. There
was a large, but disorganized, area of clouds and thunderstorms over
the Central and SW Gulf of Mexico. It should move slowly west or WNW
in the next day or two, but things are not favourable for it to
develop much.

THE WORLD OF WEATHER: Here we go again. More impressive rain amounts
in the Plains. Yesterday Will Rogers Airport at Oklahoma City got
6.28 inches and there was 3 inches at Wichita Falls in North Texas.
We are watching with interest thermometers in the Far North. It was
23 this morning at Stanley, Idaho and in Yellowstone National Park.
At Alert, in extreme North Canada, it was 19 with a steady light
snow. Signs of the times.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: With the population of the home of Miss
Molly having more than doubled, she gets so much attention until
sometimes she slithers away into a nook and cranny and steals a nap.
She also comes in my office more often and wants me to let her sit on
my desk, where she promptly wags her tail so much it sweeps off my
keyboard. She loves to look out the window. I believe she also played
a record number of ballgames over the weekend, at times including her
and three humans. That really blow her mind with balls coming from
all directions, but she chases down every single one, comes charging
back and dumps it at our feet for us to toss again. Life goes on and
Molly is the fastest mover......
