GASPING FOR RAIN: At least that is what I thought my yard was doing
this morning when I took a brief walk before daylight to see the
waning harvest moon. Of course, it was my imagination, but it really
is dry as a bone. Not much hope in the near future. We are maintaining
dry weather on through the weekend. A weak front will reach the area
late tomorrow, but it will only feature a few scattered clouds. A
couple of fronts will move through the area over the next few days
bringing a few scattered clouds and a resurgence of dry air. This will
send the low temperatures back down to the mid to low 40s by Saturday
morning. Otherwise, we expect most high temperatures to be in the mid
70s Wednesday and then backing off to the lower 70s Thursday, Friday
and Saturday. This morning was our coldest morning this season. We
have a complete list of lows on the blog. To mention just a few: 28 at
Chulafinnee in Cleburne County, 33 in Odenville and Cottondale, 34 in
Pinson and Rainbow City, 37 in Mumford, Collinsville, Ft. Payne and
Albertville.

FOOTBALL WEATHER EARLY LOOK: We do not normally do the football
weather forecast until about Thursday. However, there seems to be a
few semi-important games this weekend and the weather looks great. LSU
will be at Alabama for a 4:00 p.m. kick off Saturday and Southern Miss
at UAB for a 6:00 p.m. start. Earlier in the afternoon, Tennessee Tech
will be at Auburn for their homecoming game which starts at 1:30.
Mostly clear dry weather for all those games. It will be about 72 in
Tuscaloosa at kick off dropping into the 60s. It will be in the low
70s for most of the game at Auburn and for UAB it will be about 68 at
kick off lowering to the upper 50s.

TROPICAL WEATHER: Tropical Storm Noel was over the south part of
Eastern Cuba and it had weakened a bit with sustained winds down to 40
mph. It is expected to curve northward crossing the western part of
the Bahamas and then move northeastward into the open Atlantic. The
latest track forecast keeps the center at least 150 miles off the SE
coast of Florida.

BIG ALABAMA HAILSTORM: I have in my caffeine stained fingers a
Photostat of the front page of the Richmond Times Dispatch of April 8,
1907. It had a front-page story about an enormous hailstorm at
Lelohatchie, Alabama. The hail was 10 inches deep in drifts. I must
say I do not know where that is located. I hope you know. Maybe it was
a town that went out of existence.

AUTUMN FOLIAGE: Have travelled very little this year, but this
morning took a 90-mile round trip through two counties and the autumn
foliage disappointing. I feel sure there will be certain trees that
will keep us happy. The ridges are showing only muted color. Also have
a report from a friend in Scottsboro. He advises decent color
considering the drought.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: My Little Miss Molly evolves through
various stages of changing her mind. For a long time in recent months,
she wanted to sleep until 9:00 or 10:00. Lately she is hopping out of
bed before daylight and she is as lively as if she had been awake for
several hours. On her early break this morning, she had to walk on
frost. When she came back in, her little footsies felt like ice cubes.
I held her until she stopped shivering. Our little ones act almost
like humans at times. I am so glad that Molly came into my life 5
years ago. I never have been a tense, uptight person, but even if I
had, she would have loosened me up the first day she arrived. Life
goes on. With Molly, it is great......
