TEXTBOOK EXAMPLE OF AUTUMN WEATHER: It may be that, but we would
much rather have rain. The drought situation continues to worsen and
the percentage of Alabama that has the worst drought designation has
increased some more during the last week. Rain deficiencies are out
of the ballpark. Anyway, since we cannot have rain, let's enjoy the
weekend. We will have lows in the 40s again tonight, near 50 Sunday
morning and 60 or better by Monday morning. The humidity will stay
rather low through Sunday, but it will increase some on Monday. We
will even have some scattered showers at some point Tuesday, Tuesday
night and Wednesday. It does not look like a great rain event, but as
we say, "In a drought, every teacup helps."

It was another cool night across the state and for most sections the
coolest since last spring. Around Alabama, some of the lower
temperatures included:

36 in Hamilton
37 in DeSoto State Park
38 in Vigo near Piedmont
39 in Odenville, Muscadine and Black Creek
41 in Ft. Payne, Cullman, Mumford and Centreville
42 in Troy, Tuscaloosa, Alabaster/Navajo Pines, Clanton and Talladega
43 in Huntsville, Shelby County Airport, Muscle Shoals, Ashland,
Alexander City, Pinson, Jasper, Wadley

FOOTBALL WEATHER: Near perfect weather for high school football
tonight. Clear with little or no wind. About 63 at kick off and 55 at
the final whistle. On Saturday, mostly clear dry weather for Alabama/
Ole Miss at Oxford, Tulane/UAB in Birmingham and Auburn/Arkansas in
Fayetteville. Expect about 73 for the 11:00 a.m. kick off at Ole Miss
and near 80 later in the game. In Birmingham, the 6:00 p.m. kick off
temperature should be about 73 dropping quickly into the 60s. In
Fayetteville, the kick off is at 6:45 and about 74 degrees dropping
to 63 at the final whistle.

TROPICAL WEATHER: The tropical depression was 940 miles east of
Bermuda and no concern to the USA. A large area of disturbed weather
continues as close by as the NW Caribbean. Most of it is over land.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Sure enjoyed doing a weather program
for the St. Vincent's East Cardiac Rehab Support Group. Many thanks
to Jana Williams and Diane Bonner for a most pleasant evening.
Ironically, I was back in the same auditorium to hear James Spann
speak to the Birmigham East Rotary Club. Excellent speech on the
global warming/cooling situation. I continue to be surprised at the
number of Little Miss Molly fans. They seem to be everywhere and that
makes Molly and I very happy, because I always tell her that people
love her. Life goes on......
