...Pleasant Weather All Week...

AUTUMN ARRIVED ON TIME: There is just one downside to this textbook
example of nice weather. We still need some rain in some areas. It is
true that Birmingham has a surplus for the year of 3.63 inches, but we
are in sort of an island of surplus. Tuscaloosa has a shortfall of
9.18 inches for the year and Huntsville, one of the driest locations,
still has a deficiency of 12.21 inches.
Little or no chance to chip away at that deficiency all the way
through the weekend. In fact, I doubt if we see any rain even into
early next week.

So, we might as well grin and bear it and enjoy the good weather while
we can. That good weather translates into highs only in the lower 80s
and lows at night in the 50s. We are almost sure to see some low
temperatures in the upper 40s Thursday morning, especially in the
valleys. Highs will be mostly between 80 and 84 all the way through
the weekend.
Early this afternoon, the temperature was only 72 atop Mt. Cheaha with
easterly winds gusting as high as 30 mph. You cannot ask for any
better than that.

TROPICAL WEATHER: Not much change in the large low-pressure area
centered near the Eastern Dominican Republic, but the barometer is
falling and upper-level winds are trying to become more welcome. It
has the potential to become a tropical depression at any time as it
moves slowly north or NW away from Hispaniola. Additional flash
flooding, potentially life threatening, will continue through tomorrow
in parts of Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. The SE Bahamas should
stay on the alert also. An Air Force plane was in the system this
afternoon. It could eventually become Tropical Storm Kyle. Projections
are for a northward track, possibly affecting the NE USA, including
New England.
Meanwhile, it is not tropical in nature, but a developing low-pressure
area in the Atlantic east of North Carolina and Virginia is going to
cause all kinds of problems, including very high surf, strong NE winds
and a high risk of rip currents.

GLOBAL ROAMING: An astounding 50 inches of rain so far this year in
St. Louis. That is almost the normal for an entire year in Birmingham…
Alaska and the lower 48 shared the coldest temperature this morning
with 23 at Redmond, Oregon and Gulkana, Alaska…Baghdad, where it stays
blistering hot all summer, is expecting more friendly lower 90s over
the weekend with a low Saturday morning around 66.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Just another little indication of how
Little Miss Molly has me under control. When I walked from my office
into the kitchen to get my 6th cup of coffee, she was sitting on her
lookout tower (the back of the couch). As I walked by, she quickly
jumped onto the seat of the couch, turned upside down and stuck her
feet straight in the air. Translation: please give me a belly rub. I
did. Flo and Ed Waits in Hueytown, have two Shih-tzus named Max and
Honey. They are huge Miss Molly fans. Recently, Flo cleaned out her
linen closet and took 20 towels and 3 bags of shredded paper to the
Humane Society to use in puppy beds. They love old blankets, etc. that
can keep their puppies comfortable and all of us can give shredded
paper. The Society really appreciated it. Flo, who has a weakness for
dogs, wanted to bring home a beautiful Alaskan Malmute, but they
already had 2 dogs. Life goes on.
