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

A SUNNY WEEKEND: It is fortunate that we got as much rain as we did
the last few days. Now, we have to stand by and watch the topsoil and
landscape dry out. It would be great if we could have another follow-
up rain event within two or three days of this last one. However, all
indications are that we will be mostly dry into the latter part of
next week. One thing on our side—daytime temperatures will be
relatively cool, so the topsoil will not dry out nearly as quickly as
it would have back in August when we had to swelter with 90-plus heat
day after day.

The upper level cold core low-pressure area that enhanced our rain
was moving northward into Illinois this afternoon and will soon
disappear. Satellite photographs show that much of Alabama was clear
this afternoon, except over the west/central and NW part. Those
clouds will break up this evening. With the ground still moist and
with a clear sky and relatively light wind, we could see some patchy
shallow fog overnight, but it will get away quickly after sunrise,
even if it develops. Temperatures were still in the 50s in the cloudy
area this afternoon. We expect lows tonight mostly in the 40s. We
look for an average low across Central Alabama to be around 45. For
the second night in a row, the lowest temperatures this morning were
over South Alabama, including 40 in Evergreen, 41 in Atmore and
Thomasville and 43 at Mobile Regional Airport.

FOOTBALL WEATHER: For the annual Magic City Classic between Alabama
A&M and Alabama State with a 2:30 p.m. kickoff Saturday, it should be
all sunshine, near 70 at kickoff and about 62 at the final whistle.
Old Miss will be at Auburn for a 5:00 p.m. kickoff. Tailormade
perfect weather—a light wind, clear, 68 at kickoff and 57 at the
final whistle. UAB is at East Carolina in Greenville, NC, 2:30 p.m.
kickoff, about 73, but a good chance of showers and possibly even a
thunderstorm. Great weather for Alabama high school games tonight.
Temperatures mostly in the 50s. No rain, but there could be some
cloud cover during the NW Alabama games.

THE WORLD OF WEATHER: 96 at Yuma, Arizona and Ocotillo Wells,
California yesterday (never heard of that place). Coldest this
morning was 10 at Antero Reservoir in the mountains of Central
Colorado. An interesting comparison—it reached 87 at Crook, Colorado
(yes, that is a real town). That was 35 degrees warmer than the 52
high in Tuscaloosa.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: My little friend, known as Little Miss
Molly, is getting smarter and smarter and she is also getting more
assertive since we have a houseful of humans now. I was working at my
desk at 10:30 last night. I felt a tiny tingling on my foot. She had
tippy-toed into my office and dropped one of her softballs on my
foot. That sent me as clear a message as possible that I needed to
quit watching the World Series and play with Molly. I am off this
weekend, although Sundays are always packed, but I am going to play
ball with her so much she will be begging for mercy. Also going to
take several long walks with her and even sit down in the grass by
the Old Crow Motel. She enjoys the outdoors so much. Life goes
on........
