...A Few Showers By Sunday...

ANOTHER WEEK OF PLEASANT TEMPERATURES: We do not see any return to
miserable temperatures at all for the next five to seven days at
least. The old thermometer will hang around most afternoons in the 80
to 83 range. It is possible that over the weekend some of the high
temperatures will be in the upper 70s, especially over East Alabama.
Part of that is due to some cool air coming down the east side of the
Appalachians and then spreading westward into Alabama.

The touch part of our forecast is yes or no on showers. It appears
that the south half of the state will have a chance of showers by
Sunday and Monday. We could see a few here in Central Alabama, also.

It was pleasantly cool again this morning with some upper 50s in the
north and 60s over most of the rest of the state. For the next several
days, lows should mostly between 58 and 63.

FOOTBALL WEATHER: Alabama is in Fayetteville for an 11:30 kick off
Saturday with the Arkansas Razorbacks. About a 1 in 3 chance of a
shower or thunderstorm during the game and high temperature around 75.
LSU will be in Auburn Saturday night for a 6:45 kick off. It should be
a mostly dry game with kick off temperature of 77 and dropping to the
upper 60s. Alabama State will be at Legion Field to play UAB at 3:00
p.m. Expect dry weather with 80 at kick off and lowering to 75.
Jacksonville State will be in Chattanooga for a 6:00 p.m. game. Fair
and dry. 75 at kick off and 60s in the fourth quarter. For high school
games tonight and Friday night, it should be dry with pleasant
temperatures 70 and 75.

TROPICAL WEATHER: There is a tropical wave over the Lesser Antilles
producing a large area of showers and some locally heavy rain. It is
not likely to develop into a tropical depression, at least for the
next couple of days. In the heavily damaged Ike country, recovery
continues. A few thunderstorms may show up during the weekend, but
high temperatures will be tolerable, mostly in the lower 80s. All of
Galveston is still without power, so they do not need any 90-plus heat
and high humidity.

GLOBAL ROAMING: There was 2.75 inches of rain in Lincoln, Nebraska in
the last 24 hours. A Freeze Warning is posted for Upstate New York
tonight. They expect widespread frost and lows
in the 20s. That will surely accelerate autumn color and will entice
the Canada geese to start southward. It was 27 this morning at
Spincich Lake, Michigan and also in good old Deadhorse, Alaska for the
coldest in the USA. Girwood, Alaska has had measurable rain 18 days in
a row. Portage, Alaska has had 26 inches of rain so far this month.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Still getting a number of e-mails about
rescue dogs. Next week I will mention several of those. The more I
hear from readers, if you want a dog and one that will be a real
companion, you cannot go wrong with a rescue dog. They seem to
appreciate the kindness after being abused or abandoned. That does not
mean other dogs are not exceptionally nice also. I could not ask for a
better companion than my Little Miss Molly. My only regret with that
little girl is having very little playtime with her lately due to
active weather. She also is not getting enough sleep because of so
many people living here. She tries to steal away and take long daytime
naps. Wish I could join her. Life goes on.
