THE ALABAMA STORY: It is a continuing story of very pleasant autumn
weather with cool nights and comfortable daytimes. The reason the
daylight hours are so comfortable is the lower humidity and the
brisk, at times, east wind. If you were over on the ridges of East
Alabama today, you would have noticed some gusty east winds. At one
time early this afternoon, it was only 73 degrees atop Mt. Cheaha and
east winds had gusted as high as 35 mph. More sunshine for Wednesday
and Thursday as high temperatures creep up a bit to the mid 80s. Lows
at night will be close to 60. It becomes a bit more humid on Friday.
We could see a few showers on Saturday, but most of those should be
down over South Alabama. In fact, there is a good chance of showers
and thunderstorms along the Alabama coast by Friday. This is due to a
possible tropical disturbance that will move westward across the
Northern Gulf of Mexico. We will discuss that more fully in the
tropical information.

THREE-DOT STUFF: Great place to have enjoyed your new sweater today
would have been on Mt. LeConte in the Great Smoky Mountain National
Park where it was 42 this morning. There were some upper 50s in NE
Alabama…another great chance to visit Mt. Washington, New Hampshire
today with 52 degrees at midday, winds only 6 mph and visibility 90
miles…autumn color is just beginning in Upstate New York and New
England…I feel sure it is well underway in the higher elevations of
the Rockies…Aspen trees, their main source of color…they are actually
called quaking Aspen because the leaves quiver in the wind—even a 10
mph wind…warmest in the USA yesterday 104 Lake Havasu City, Arizona…
coldest this morning 24, Stanley, Idaho and 27 in Ft. Yukon, Alaska.

TROPICAL WEATHER: We are certainly watching a bunch of thunderstorms
and clouds from the east coast of Florida extending out over the
Western Atlantic and Bahamas. Daytona has already received nearly 2
inches of rain from this nervous weather area. This system has the
potential to become a tropical cyclone over the next couple of days.
The National Hurricane Center expects it to move west over Florida
and the East Gulf of Mexico. Two of our main weather models agree
with that. In fact, by Saturday morning one model has it over the
North Gulf south of Biloxi and Gulfport. If it does become a tropical
storm, the name will be Jerry. I believe we can all pronounce that.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: It is just something about the first
touch of autumn. Even Little Miss Molly recognizes it and seems
happier. On every one of her walks now, she wants to go all the way
around the ½-mile track and she does not come back with her tongue
hanging out. I was out very early this morning, before sunrise, and
the leaves on our two Bradford pear trees were quivering slightly in
the breeze and it is just a whole new feeling. By 6:30, I was up on
one of the higher elevations in Jefferson County at the Birmingham
Heart Clinic for my annual nuclear stress test. The sunrise from that
vantage point would have made a color postcard. Life goes on......
