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

COOLEST WEATHER OF THE NEW SEASON: Remember, we are already into the
14th day of Autumn as far as we weather humans are concerned and we
are about to see some of the lowest temperatures since last Spring.
We are glad Umberto is gone, but we must give him humble thanks for
what he did for us over the last two days. I have been in weather
seemingly longer than Red Mountain was formed and I think this is one
of the most important rain events I have ever experienced.

One big rain event does not make a major drought by any means,
especially what we have experienced this year. However, rest assured
this rain will greatly help the topsoil moisture, lawns, shrubbery
and pastures and will partly salvage some crops. It will take a
number of other rain events to bring lakes, reservoirs and rivers to
what they are supposed to be. We have posted a very lengthy list of
rain amounts on the 33/40 Blog. Please refer to that. Just to mention
a few (and these are incomplete totals): 3.80 inches in Hoover (off
Caldwell Mill Road), over 4.00 inches at Altadena near the Colonnade,
4.77 in Inverness and an estimated 4-5 inches north of Guin. Heavy
showers in the middle of the day were not included in those totals.

A CHILL IN THE AIR: That is what will happen Sunday morning when you
get up. We are calling for a low of 55 here in Central Alabama. We
feel sure some of the NE Alabama cool spots, like Bridgeport and
Valley Head, may have 48. There may still be a few showers tonight as
the cold front pushes into our region. A few showers were beginning
to develop along the front in Central Missouri this afternoon. Almost
all of Saturday will be sunny and Sunday will be the type day that
the Chamber of Commerce loves.

FOOTBALL WEATHER: There will be some soggy fields tonight for the
high school games. On Saturday, Alabama meets Arkansas at 5:45 in
Tuscaloosa. It should be around 78 at kick off and upper 60s by the
end of the game. Auburn meets Mississippi State in a midday game.
Sunny weather with low humidity and temperatures 78 to 92. For the
UAB/Alcorn State game Saturday evening, about 77 at kick off and 68
at the final whistle.

TROPICAL WEATHER: Tropical Storm Ingrid was 755 miles east of the
Lesser Antilles. Latest track forecast indicates she will curve NW
into the open Atlantic a long time before she gets to the Northern
Leeward Islands or Puerto Rico. The remnants of Humberto will be
drifting across Central Alabama. He has already done his duty.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: The majority owner and I rearranged the
guest bedroom, where we are living, temporarily, moving my recliner
in there. So, I sometimes sleep in the bed and then the recliner.
Little Miss Molly, puzzled at all that, hopped down off the bed last
night and jumped up on the recliner footrest right against my ankle.
It is one of her favorite spots and she loves to stay close to me. I
can tell Little Miss Molly really misses me. After all, we have a 5-
year history together walking a full mile every day and bunches of
ballgames. The grandkids are doing most of that now. She really
enjoys them, but I feel sure her memories together with me are
kicking in. Life goes on......
