...More Pleasant Temperatures...

NIGHTS NOT QUITE AS COOL: Another very cool morning across Alabama
and a number of communities had their coldest temperature since last
spring. It was 49 as far south as Montgomery and Tuscaloosa. A few of
the chillier temperatures included:

41 Cottondale
45 Oneonta, Pinson, Meridianville, Millport
46 Concord/Hueytown, Broomtown, Troy
47 Anniston, Muscle Shoals
48 Coker, Ft. Payne
For the next several nights, it will not be that cool. Across Central
Alabama we look for mid 50s tonight and Saturday night and close to 60
into early next week. Highs will be 82 to 85.

We are watching conditions to our east. The coastal low that developed
and is causing so many problems along the South Atlantic coast, moved
inland and it was centered over Northern South Carolina. Circulation
is clearly visible on radar and it had spread some rain as far west as
NE Georgia. Greenville, South Carolina was reporting heavy rain. If
this low follows the rules, it is expected to lift back toward the NE
Saturday and Sunday and to the Mid-Atlantic States.

FOOTBALL WEATHER: Looks ideal for high school games tonight with
generally clear conditions and comfortable temperatures. For most of
the high school stadiums, the kick off is around 7:30 when it should
be about 75 degrees and dropping to about 65 in the fourth quarter.
Tennessee travels to Auburn Saturday afternoon for a 2:30 game on CBS.
Look for mostly sunny weather with 78 to 80 at kick off and 70s in the
fourth quarter. Alabama plays Georgia in an evening game Saturday
(6:45 p.m. on ESPN). The game is in Athens.

There is a small chance of a shower with near 78 at kick off and about
68 at the end of the game. UAB will play South Carolina in Columbia
showing on ESPN-360 with a 6:00 p.m. kick off. About 76 degrees at
kick off and in the 60s in the fourth quarter with very little chance
of a shower.

TROPICAL WEATHER: A new area of disturbed weather way out in the
Atlantic 1,000 miles WSW of the Cape Verde Islands. It will be running
into a less favourable are for development. Meanwhile, Tropical Storm
Kyle is the main story. This afternoon he was centered 445 miles SSW
of Bermuda and moving NNW at 12 with sustained winds of 60 mph. He
could become a hurricane by Saturday night. The track forecast carries
him well east of the Mid-Atlantic coast, but by the time he gets off
New England people should pay attention. He could brush the eastern
tip of Maine. If his track should change slightly to the west, he
could even bother Cape Cod, Massachusetts. In any event, look for
rough seas along the Mid and North Atlantic coast.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: We have had my little pal Molly roaming
around our house for six years. We have not realized what a fixture
she is in our lives. So, today there is a big void. She is at the PBS
(Puppy Beauty Shop) getting a trim and shampoo. Her eyes will be
bigger when she gets home, because her face had gotten bushy. This
means she will boss me even easier when I can look into those bright
eyes. Little Miss Molly is still afraid of riding in a car, so she
shook all the way to the vet. I cannot wait until she gets home. Life
goes on.
