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

A MOSTLY DRY WEEKEND: Thanks to a broad circulation out of the SE,
warm humid air continues to cover Alabama like a wet blanket.
However, so far there has not been a real trigger to extract this
moisture into the form of a beneficial rain. It has been a situation
with mostly scattered light showers. It appears that tomorrow will be
our best chance of getting rain for any one community. Even then,
don't look for a drenching. By Saturday, we think most communities
will stay dry with only a small chance of a shower at any one
address. Same situation on Sunday and we have omitted any mention of
showers for Monday.
Only a few days ago, the average high temperature for Birmingham
dropped from 80 to 79. It wasn't too long ago that our normal high
was 91 in the middle of the summer. This means that our high
temperatures over the next several days will average 5 to 9 degrees
too warm for early October.

WEATHER FOR SPECTATOR SPORTS: For high school football across
Central Alabama Friday evening, warm and humid and a slight chance of
a shower with temperatures in the 70s through the entire game. On
Saturday, Vanderbilt will be at Auburn, Houston at Alabama and UAB
will travel to Starkville to play Mississippi State. High
temperatures will be well into the 80s at all three games. There is
only a small chance of a shower, although a slightly better chance in
Starkville. This is race weekend at Talladega. For the Saturday
Mountain Dew 250, temperatures at the track will range between 84 and
87 with only a small risk of a shower. On Sunday for the UAW-Ford
500, few if any showers expected with temperatures at the track
peaking around 88.

OUR WORLD OF WEATHER: Matt Marshall, one of our regular readers at
Layton, Utah, tells us that a good storm is expected to move through
North Utah between now and Saturday night. There is an 80% chance of
snow along the bench area, which is an elevated area just east of
Salt Lake Valley. He also tells us that autumn color is at its peak
or just past in the Wasatch Mountains. He can see a lot of red color
from his home on the west side of the Wasatch. He said those were
spectacular—about as vivid as he has ever seen. A good snow cover is
also expected from this storm in the mountains of Montana including
Yellowstone National Park. Four inches of new snow already at the
Paradise Ranger Station near Mt. Ranier. Coldest this morning was 20
at Burns, Oregon and 21 at Antero Reservoir, Colorado. Honolulu has
only had one-third their normal rain so far this year. Yesterday 1.81
inches of rain at Alma in South Georgia and 1.55 at Charleston.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: I guess Little Miss Molly is growing up
even though she is considered grown at five, but she is still on a
learning curve. Yesterday Molly was asleep in our granddaughter's
lap. She placed Molly on the floor when she got up and Molly growled
at her. That is the first time we have ever heard Molly growl period.
The little girl is at the PBS today (Puppy Beauty Shop). Every time
that happens, I realize that I am far too attached to that little
creature, because I can't wait for her to get home. She is the spark
plug in our home and keeps us entertained. Life goes on......
