PLEASANT VETERAN'S DAY WEATHER: There may be a few scattered clouds
around the area on Sunday for Veteran's Day, but there will be more
sun than clouds as temperatures edge upward to near the 70-degree
mark. That will also be the story for the next several days with cool
nights, but not real cold, and afternoon highs moderating to the mid
70s by Tuesday. Another model run seems to push back the chance of
showers and thunderstorms that we thought would be here by Tuesday.
While there could be a few showers showing up late Tuesday, the better
chance will probably at some point later on Wednesday.

It was fairly cold across Alabama again last night, but not to the
extent of the previous two nights. Most areas had temperatures in the
30s, but there were some upper 20s in the NE Alabama valleys. Most
lows tonight should be in the 40s, but a few spots in NE and East
Alabama may have lows in the upper 30s. Some clouds moved into the
area today and held temperatures down a bit. Those clouds should be
out of here for the weekend.

FOOTBALL WEATHER: The kick off is at 11:30 Saturday for the Alabama/
Mississippi State game in Starkville. Mostly sunshine with 62 at kick
off warming to 68 during the game. Auburn is at Georgia for a 2:30
p.m. kick off. It should be sunny and 64 in Athens, but falling into
the 50s. Central Florida is at UAB for an evening game. Fair and cool
with 58 at the 6:30 kick off, dropping to about 50 at the final whistle.

STORM ALERT XTREME: Don't forget it starts at 8:30 tomorrow morning
at the BJCC in downtown Birmingham in association with the Alabama
International Automobile Show. If you attend the weather event, that
gives you free admission also to the auto show. There will be lots of
information dispensed about the weather and there will be a morning
and afternoon session. See you there?

A WEATHER MOMENT: When Hurricane Andrew struck South Florida, it
caused about 1.4 million persons to become homeless. At that time,
that was about equal to the entire population of Orlando.

OUR WORLD OF WEATHER: Still a bit hot in the Southwest. The old
backyard thermometer reached 91 yesterday in Phoenix and Bullhead
City, Arizona and also in Pecos and Wink, Texas. The lower 48 cold
spot this morning, a familiar story, it was 11 at Saranac Lake, New
York. Coldest in Alaska was 11 below at Arctic Village. Resolute, in
Northern Canada, was reporting 18 below zero and drifting snow this
afternoon.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: So neat to wake up with Little Miss
Molly on the king size bed. If I get up first and tippy-toe, I can see
her little tail start swishing in the semi-darkness and those bright
eyes looking up at me. That triggers an immediate belly rub. If she
wakes up first, she often comes walking up my little body, to stand on
my chest and look down at me with those bright eyes, ears laid back
and I can hear the swishing of her tail. How could anyone possibly
wake up in a bad mood with that greeting. On the walking trail,
several trees have reached maximum color. Even when there is a
drought, a certain number of trees seem determined to please humans by
showing their best like a lady with a new dress to show off. Life goes
on.......
