...Not Much Rain Promised...

THE ALABAMA STORY: Lots of compliments lately on our weather. Of
course, we did not have anything to do with it except try to issue
accurate daily forecasts. Not much change down the road as
temperatures in the afternoons hang out around the 82 to 85-degree
mark and lows at night mostly in the 50s. A number of Alabama
communities had lows in the 40s Friday morning. We have clearly felt
the transition to autumn for the past several days. We may have a bit
of cloudiness over NE Alabama this morning.

A down side to autumn is the dryness. October is traditionally our
driest month of the year and once, back in 1924, we went an entire
month with only 0.01 measurable rain.
The rain prospects are dim. We do have another front approaching from
the NW on Tuesday. There should be enough moisture caught up in that
front to produce a few showers, but do not look for any widespread
beneficial rain. By Wednesday, a large high-pressure area over
Southern Canada will be pushing more cool air into Alabama and by next
Friday the large high will extend from Mississippi, Alabama and
Louisiana northward to Minnesota giving widespread cool temperatures
and dry weather. Do not be surprised to hear of some place in Alabama
having a temperature as low as 38 by next weekend.

FOOTBALL WEATHER: Tennessee will be in Auburn this afternoon for a
2:30 kick off on CBS. It should be mostly sunny with 82 degrees and in
the 70s in the fourth quarter. Alabama is in Athens for an evening
game with Georgia on ESPN. The weather should be excellent with about
76 at kick off with 60s in the fourth quarter. We believe now that the
game will be played without showers. UAB is in Columbia to play South
Carolina. It is an evening game on ESPN-360. It should be about 76
degrees at kick off and dropping into the 60s for the second half.
That game should also be dry.

TROPICAL WEATHER: The renegade low-pressure area that caused so much
trouble on the South Atlantic coast moved inland Friday and was
centered near Spartanburg, South Carolina late Friday night. It is now
expected to turn toward the NE and get out of our hair. Meanwhile,
Tropical Storm Kyle will continue moving northward passing well to the
west of Bermuda. We believe that he will miss most of the USA east
coast and make landfall in the Canadian Maritimes. A slight turn
toward the west, however, could impact the Cape Cod area as well as
Eastern Maine. Regardless, he is probably going to create some rough
seas over the USA Atlantic coast in the northeast.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: When we got Molly out of the PBS (Puppy
Beauty Shop) yesterday, her eyes looked twice as big because they had
cut the air away from her face. She always smells so good after
getting a bath a shampoo. When we turned onto our street, she knows
every single house and which people love her. Her tail was whapping
the steering wheel and it was great to have her home. Life goes on.
