COOL FRONT ARRIVES THURSDAY: Afternoon temperatures across Central
Alabama will be about 8 degrees warmer than normal for the next
couple of days, but a cool front arriving Thursday will bring the
weather situation back to reality for late September. For the
zillionth time this year, we mention that we do need rain. The cold
front approaching from the NW on Thursday will bring us a good chance
of some showers and thunderstorms. However, it does not look like a
long drawn out weather situation like we had with the remnants of
Humberto. In fact, the showers and storms will diminish Thursday
night followed by clearing, breezy and less humid weather on Friday.
Looking ahead to the weekend, it looks dry with pleasant temperatures
with afternoon highs in the mid 80s and lows across Central Alabama
close to 60. One of our weather models has some more rain appearing
over about the south half of Alabama late Friday. At the moment, we
do not buy that. Sunday afternoon showers brought a respectable 0.62
to Tuscaloosa Airport and a drenching to the Montgomery area, where
Dannelly Field brought almost 2 inches.

TROPICAL WEATHER: Several systems to watch. Let's get Jerry out of
the way. He was demoted to a tropical depression this morning way out
in the Atlantic and moving NE. It should be swallowed by a larger
regular low-pressure area by tomorrow. Our most interesting situation
at the moment is some increase in thunderstorms over the SW Gulf of
Mexico. It has some potential. Howver, it is expected to drift slowly
over the next day or two. Some of the models show it hardly moving at
all. Another low-pressure area with a tropical wave was in the
vicinity of the Windward Islands. It has some potential to become a
tropical depression in the next day or two as it moves NW about 15.
Finally, another tropical wave was over 700 miles WSW of the Cape
Verde Islands (way far away) and it could develop into a tropical
depression during the next day or two as it moves WNW at about 15.

OUR WEATHER WORLD: This is an irony of geography and climate. The
Arctic Circle runs directly through Ft. Yukon in NE Alaska. That
weather station has a notariety of recording Alaska's all-time
hottest temperature of 100. The highest elevation in New York State
is Mt. Mercy in the NE part south of Lake Placid. Another sign of the
season—it was 17 this morning at Eagle, Alaska. In the lower 48, it
was 22 at Meacham, Oregon. Hottest yesterday 97 at Darlington, South
Carolina, Pecos, Texas, Pierre, South Dakota and Smyrna, Tenn. As
much as 6 to 8 inches of heavy wet snow expected above 8,000 feet in
the Wind River, Green Mountain and Rattlesnake Range in Wyoming.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: My neighbor, Sue Giovanni, at the far
end of the walking track and the grandmother of a Shih-tzu named
Brigette, told me that she has all the birds up there after I
commented that Molly and I had seen very few during the long hot
summer. She has a bird feeder and has lots of birds at least twice a
day. She recently saw 7 cardinals at one time. I have never seen
Little Miss Molly so exhausted as she was last night after a long,
fast-moving ballgame that included the little 9-pound rascal, my
grandson and myself. It went a bunch of extra innings. When we
finally stopped, she plopped down in her tracks and wouldn't move.
She slept until 10:00 this morning, but she was a happy little girl.
Life goes on.....
