NICE COOL DOWN LATER IN WEEK: The rain deficit for 2007 will be over
19 inches by tomorrow. Today is the 23rd day in a row with no
measurable rain at Birmingham Airport and we have only received 3.30
inches since September 1. The drought is still major. Unfortunately,
we do not foresee a great deal of rain with an approaching cold front
that will give us a nice cool down later in the week. The most
noticeable fall-like weather will be from Friday through the weekend.

Actually there may be two parts to the front: the first one moving in
later tomorrow and slowing in South Alabama with the second push of
drier air and cooler temperatures arriving late Thursday. Look for an
extremely pleasant stretch of weather from about Thursday through
Sunday with lows in the 50s and highs mostly in the 70s with humidity
a lot lower. I guess we should not use the word pleasant during the
midst of a severe drought. Yesterday there was a record high of 91 in
Pinson and 90 in Anniston. It was also 90 at Birmingham Airport and
91 in Tuscaloosa and Huntsville.

TROPICAL WEATHER: A disorganized area of showers and thunderstorms
over the NW Caribbean still does not have a well-defined circulation.
A recon flight into the area was cancelled, but upper-level winds may
become more favourable in the next couple of days as it moves WNW.
NHC tentatively will send another recon flight into the area on Tuesday.

OUR WEATHER WORLD: How about that Midwest heat and it turned tragic
in Chicago Sunday during a major marathon race. At least one person
died and a number of people were hospitalized. The 90-degree high in
Nashville Sunday was only the 12th time in 60 years that they have
experienced 90 in October. Never in their weather history has it
reached 90 or higher after October 10. In contrast, it is quite cold
over parts of the Rockies. It was 16 this morning at Antero
Reservoir, Colorado, 18 at Alamosa and 19 at Gunnison. In Alaska, it
was 5 above at Deadhorse and Eagle. The wind chill today has been
slightly below zero over Northern Alaska. Hottest in the nation
Sunday was 96 in Laredo and Hidalgo, Illinois. That is extremely hot
for the Midwest. Almost 2 inches of rain in Omaha yesterday.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Little Miss Molly is becoming more and
more puzzled at all of the things going on in her abode. Our little 9-
month old great grandson is now with us for a while and he is very
adventurous already. He discovered the little tiny cowbell hanging
from the back doorknob that is the exclusive property of Molly when
she needs to go potty. Brandon discovered the bell and was boxing it
like a prizefighter. Molly went racing to the back door to see what
in the world was taking place. She stood there wide- eyed and
astounded that someone else was using her bell. She is also spending
more and more time sitting on my desk trying to get some extra quiet
time. She is also having to grab naps in shorter spurts. Life goes on
and I know how she feels......
