...Nice Weekend But Still A Drought...

THE ALABAMA DISCUSSION: I guess we can describe the weather this
weekend as very nice across Alabama, but I sure feel guilty using that
description when we are still in the midst of an unbelievable drought.
The drought actually worsened during the last week, because there was
not a drop of rain. The U. S. Drought Monitor, posted once a week,
shows that Alabama now has 43% of the land area classed as a D4
drought, which is the worst of all designations. That is an increase
of about 8% coverage since last week. Alabama also suffers more D4
drought coverage than any other state, although D4 also extends into
parts of North Georgia, East Tennessee and a bit of the Carolinas.

With our nice Veterans' Day weekend, we do not see any rain and very
few clouds. The next chance of rain will be next week. It does not
look as promising as earlier weather models indicated and our best
chance is probably at midweek instead of about Tuesday, as it appeared
earlier. Very difficult to estimate how much rain will occur during
this event, but probably not more than ½ inch.
Meanwhile, we will have cool nights and comfortable afternoons. We
expect highs around 68 this weekend and into the lower 70s for much of
next week.

FOOTBALL WEATHER: Ideal weather for today's college games. Alabama is
in Starkville to play Mississippi State with an 11:30 kickoff. It
should be about 62 at kickoff peaking around 68 during the game.
Auburn plays Georgia in Athens at 2:30—mostly sunshine with mid 60s at
kickoff, but falling into the 50s. Central Florida will be in
Birmingham to play UAB this evening—about 58 degrees for the 6:30
kickoff, but about 46 at the final whistle.

STORM ALERT XTREME: Be at the BJCC at 8:30 this morning for the 2007
version. Lots and lots of weather information, including storm spotter
training in two sessions—morning and afternoon. It is held in
association with the Alabama International Automobile Show. If you
attend it, you can also see the automobile show without charge.

A WEATHER MOMENT: In September 1992, more than 6 inches of rain in
less than 24 hours occurred at Islamabad, Pakistan. 1,200 people died
and 4 million persons were left homeless.

THE WORLD OF WEATHER: Friday afternoon, the temperature reached 90 at
Laredo, McAllen and Edinburg—all in Texas. That was the hottest in the
lower 48 states. The coldest was 9 above zero at Doylesville in the
mountains of Colorado. There is an interesting item in Bill Murray's
weather calendar for November 10. Way back in 1913, a man was working
on a steam locomotive near Great Bend, Nebraska. He saw a tornado
approaching his location. He climbed into the firebox of the engine
and he was spared. Of course, there was no fire in the firebox at the
time.
