==================================================

SUNNY, LESS HUMID, WEATHER FOR THE WEEKEND: Every weather model run
tries to back off on the amount of rain we will get in a cold front
which is still expected to move through Central Alabama later
tomorrow and tomorrow night. Originally, we thought we would get an
average of ½ inch across this area. It may be more like 1/3 inch. It
also will not be a long drawn out rain event and most of what we get
will be negated by breezy, less humid weather Friday.

We could use all kind of adjectives to brag on the expected weekend
weather, but I hate to when we need rain so badly. Let's just say
mostly sunshine, lower humidity, cooler nights and pleasant
afternoons. We are projecting a low temperature of 58 for Saturday
morning. In this part of the country, temperatures are never uniform
on a still clear night. Therefore, it could be more like 63 or 64 on
the ridges around Birmingham and in the mid 50s in places like Pinson
and especially in other traditional cold spots in NE Alabama. Almost
every day we can find some pleasant low temperatures in NE Alabama.
This morning, for example, it was 59 in DeSoto State Park and at
Black Creek in NE Etowah County. There was a lot of early morning fog
in Black Creek.

OUT OF TOWN FOOTBALL: We will be more specific in tomorrow's
editions, but here is an early look. Alabama plays Florida State in
Jacksonville at 4:00 p.m. Saturday. Pretty good chance of some
showers or thunderstorms in the vicinity and about 83 at kick off.
Pretty much the same story in Gainesville where Auburn plays Florida
for a 7:00 p.m. kick off. UAB will be in Tulsa for a 6:00 p.m. game.
Few, if any, showers expected with about 82 at kick off and falling
into the 70s.

TROPICAL WEATHER: Tropical Depression #13 was approaching tropical
storm strength over the extreme SW Gulf this afternoon. The NHC still
projects a landfall over the far southern Gulf Coast of Mexico
Friday. No problem for the USA. Tropical Storm Karen was 1,225 miles
east of the Windward Islands. Still will probably not affect the USA
as it turns more northward over the open Atlantic. A weak low-
pressure area near Key West is producing a lot of thunderstorms over
South Florida. It has the potential of developing further as it moves
slowly over South Florida and the adjacent Atlantic. Another low near
Puerto Rico has degenerated. Two more tropical waves were over the
Far Eastern Atlantic and both have potential. Busy time in the tropics.

OUR WEATHER WORLD: Oceans have a great impact on weather. The amount
of water in the oceans is beyond imagination. Out in the Western
Pacific, the water reaches a depth of 35,827 feet in Challenger Deep.
That is deeper than Mt. Everest is tall (29,035 feet).

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Sure did not like what I saw on local
TV from Montgomery. A man took a shovel and beat the living daylights
out of his mother's dog, then poured lighter fluid on it and set the
dog on fire. Major burns. The dog looked horrible on TV, but it was
still brave enough to slowly wag its tail. Hope I never run across
something like that. I know I would intervene and probably get the
living daylights knocked out of me. Little Miss Molly and I traded
sleeping spots about 4 times during the night. She tries to capture
the latest warm spot. Life goes on......
