THE HUMIDITY IS BACK: Hope you enjoyed those autumn-like days,
because they are over for a while. Dew points are in the upper 60s
across Central Alabama as compared to the 40s just a few days ago. It
is all due to an influx of moisture from the SE circulating around a
low-pressure system in the Gulf of Mexico. We do not look for many
showers tonight, but there will be a better chance of showers and
maybe a few thunderstorms Thursday. Our best chance of rain will
probably be on Friday. The outlook for the weekend is a significant
reduction in showers or thunderstorms with few, if any, on Sunday.
High temperatures will be in the mid 80s and lows at night 70 to 72.
No more of those 40s and 50s for a while.

FOOTBALL AND RACE WEATHER: For Vanderbilt at Auburn and UAB at
Mississippi State, as well as Houston at Alabama, the peak
temperatures for all three afternoon games should be 86 to 88 with a
slight chance of a shower at each game. It is race weekend at
Talladega. Early indications are for only widely scattered showers
and maybe a thunderstorm on Saturday, which means you have a much
better chance of staying dry. Few, if any, showers are expected on
Sunday. It will be warm and humid with track temperatures in the mid
to upper 80s.

TROPICAL WEATHER: The situation in the Gulf of Mexico is still
rather puzzling. A low-pressure area was over the North/Central Gulf
moving westward. It will pass well south of the Louisiana coast and
it might even diminish or pretty much disappear over the NW Gulf.
However, the National Hurricane Center says there is still some
potential for it to evolve into a tropical or subtropical depression
during the next day or so. There wasn't much organization today, so
the NHC cancelled the scheduled recon flight for this afternoon.
Another broad area of low pressure was forming east of the NW
Bahamas. Winds upstairs are becoming more friendly for development.
It could become a tropical depression as it begins a slow west
movement on Thursday or Friday. A tropical wave was 1,300 miles east
of the Southern Windward Islands. Conditions are not friendly in that
area. The next named storm will be Noel.

OUR WEATHER WORLD: Big rain amounts in Missouri and Arkansas
yesterday with 6.48 inches at Ft. Smith, Ark., and 3.40 at Ozark.
Over an inch fell at Tulsa, bringing their 2007 total to almost 47
inches. Oklahoma City has received an amazing 51.47 inches of rain
this year—23 inches above average. A good snow cover is expected in
Yellowstone Park over the next couple of days, as well as in places
like Alta, Utah where temperatures may drop to between 15 and 20 by
Saturday morning.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Little Miss Molly had a nightmare in the
middle of the night. I was sleeping only two feet away and about
every 10 seconds, I could hear a weak muffled bark. It was enough to
wake me up and I lay there amazed because it went on for five minutes
or more. I sure do wonder what little puppies dream about. I guess it
could be a Great Dane chasing her at 40 mph. Just like the good old
days this morning. She had me out for a walk at 5:45 before daybreak.
My neighbor, who is my rain dance assistant halfway up the walking
track, has a tree that is nearly ½ in full autumn color, but the
other half is green. Never understood how that works. Life goes on
and I hope Molly has another dog-mare tonight to entertain me......
