ALABAMA DISCUSSION: And it sounds very much like the discussion from
yesterday. It looks like a model weekend, if we can forget the
drought. It should be mostly clear with cool mornings and with
afternoon highs near or slightly above 70. A fresh supply of cooler
air will move in over the weekend. We are calling for the average low
across Central Alabama to be around 38 when you get up Sunday morning
with your extra hour of sleep. That means some scattered light frost
in the valley locations and we will undoubtedly hear of some low
temperatures around 34 or 35 in the NE Alabama valleys.

A warm up Monday in advance of still another cold front late Monday
night and Tuesday. A narrow band of light showers may move into NW
Alabama Monday night with the new front and linger for a brief time
Tuesday morning across Central Alabama. Not enough rain to rouse the
least bit of excitement.

THE OLD ALARM CLOCK: If you go to bed at 10:00 Saturday night, reset
your clock to 9:00 p.m. and you will be on time Sunday morning. It is
the old "fall back" and "spring forward" instruction. I am glad to see
CST come back, because the weather world operates on Universal time.
This gives us an extra hour to look at raw data and models, fuss with
it a bit, and come up with a forecast.

TROPICAL WEATHER: Early this afternoon, a weather buoy near the North
Carolina coast at Diamond Shoals was reporting a north wind gusting to
52 miles an hour with 14-foot waves. Blame that on Hurricane Noel who
was centered over 400 miles SSE of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina. He
was moving at 17 with sustained winds to 80 mph, but he was losing his
tropical characteristics. Everyone from the North Carolina coast all
the way through New England should pay close attention. He may dump as
much as 6 inches of rain over Eastern New England and wind gusts along
the Massachusetts coast could approach 70 mph Saturday and Saturday
night.

FOOTBALL WEATHER: Hard to beat for this weekend's games. Excellent
hot chocolate weather for tonight's high school games. Clear with near
60 at kick off quickly falling into the 50s. In college football,
Tennessee Tech will be at Auburn Saturday afternoon for a 1:30 kick
off. Clear with low humidity, about 74 at kick off and falling into
the 60s the second half. LSU will be at Tuscaloosa for a 4:00 game
with Alabama. Latest reports indicate about 50 million people will be
there. Perfect weather, 70 at kick off and about 58 at the final
whistle. Southern Mississippi will be in Birmingham to play UAB at
6:00. Clear with light winds. It will already be down to about 60 at
kick off and about 52 at the end of the game.

THE ALABAMA DROUGHT: You can bet your boots it is still with us and
will probably be around a long time. The only bit of good news is that
37% of the state is now under the D4 (worst drought category) as
compared to 64% a week ago. The D4 now extends generally east of I-65
and from about Montgomery and Troy northward. Parts of Mobile and
Baldwin Counties are now without a drought.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Seems like Little Miss Molly is still a
bit pooped from her Halloween extravaganza. Autumn is Molly's
favorite season of the year like her minority owner. She loves to
bounce around in the leaves along the walking track, especially under
the sassafras tree, which dumps thousands of big leaves onto the edge
of the track. Lots of ballgames in the last 24 hours. Life goes on.....
