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

THE ALABAMA STORY: October is playing somewhat of a trick on us. It
is keeping the thermometer at levels more like September and even
late August. It is going to be that way through much of next week.
Mind you, this is not unbearable heat by any means as high
temperatures will be mostly in the mid to upper 80s. Don't look for
any drought-breaking rain for the coming week. Showers this evening
will be isolated with few, if any, for Saturday. There will be a few
showers Sunday afternoon. Probably our better chance will come about
Tuesday when the showers will be a bit more widespread. See our day-
by-day forecast.

LONG WEEKEND AT THE BEACH: In the upper 80s every day for a high.
There will be some scattered showers and thunderstorms, mostly in the
afternoon, over the weekend, but thinning out greatly Monday and
Tuesday.

FOR THE SPORTS FANS: For high school games this evening, most of
them have a 7:00 p.m. kick off. It should be around 80 at most
stadiums falling into the 70s. Only a slight risk of a shower during
the games. For college football Saturday, we can group all three
games together. Vanderbilt plays at Auburn at 11:30, Houston is at
Alabama at 2:00 and UAB is at Mississippi State for an afternoon
game. At all three stadiums, temperatures will peak between in the
upper 80s, except possibly 90 at Starkville, during the games. There
is little or no chance of rain at any of the games.

TROPICAL WEATHER: There was a non-tropical low-pressure area over
the NW Gulf. Showers and thunderstorms increased some. It should move
inland over SW Louisiana or SE Texas tonight. It could get a bit
stronger before landfall. Disturbed weather is widespread over the
Bahamas. The system is disorganized and winds upstairs do not favor
intensification, but there could be some slow development in the next
day or two as it all moves WSW. Showers and storms over the NW
Caribbean are kin to a weak low-pressure trough. It could develop
some in the next day or two as it drifts WNW. There are several other
disturbances a lot further out, including the remnants of Melissa.

OUR WEATHER WORLD: 102 in Death Valley was the hot spot yesterday.
It was 23 at Burns, Oregon this morning and 1 above zero at Anaktuvuk
Pass in Northern Alaska. The wind chill is close to zero this
afternoon in that general area. Rain is expected to change to snow
after midnight in the Salt Lake City area and 2 to 4 inches will
accumulate Saturday, mainly on the benches. The bench area in the
Salt Lake Valley is, as the name implies, an increase in elevation
then levelling off somewhat before the real sharp rise of the Wasatch
Mountains.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: It is so much fun to watch Little Miss
Molly when she comes home from the beauty shop. When we turn off U.S.
11, she immediately recognizes our street. Her eyes brighten, her
tail is thumping the side of the door in the car and she looks
closely in every yard to see if any of her many friends are there to
greet her. When she gets out of the car, she wants to run around the
neighborhood. Then she comes in for a treat and settles in for a
long, long nap. I wish I was a little doggie. I could use some
rest. Life goes on......
