...Weather Relatively Quiet...

A MOSTLY DRY WEEKEND: There could still be some showers around
Saturday morning, but there are signs that a cool front will be moving
into Alabama not bringing any sweater weather but some lower humidity.
We think Sunday and Monday will be mostly sunshine without a threat of
rain and you may notice a slight drop in humidity by Sunday. After all
it is September and about time that we get some breaks.

So, we got the cart before the horse, thus we need to back up and
discuss earlier weather. There is a chance of some showers tonight and
probably a better chance Friday. You might even hear a peal of thunder
or so on Friday. No all-day rain and certainly no wash out. The high
school football games Friday night should have a decent chance of not
being interrupted by rain. Looks good for the college football games
on Saturday, especially the afternoon and evening games. We will have
a more specific football forecast starting in the morning edition
tomorrow.

The scattered showers tonight and Friday and possibly into Saturday
morning can be credited to leftover moisture from Tropical Storm
Gustav. The low-pressure area, which is the signature of all that was
left of Gustav, was centered over Missouri this afternoon.

TROPICAL WEATHER: The biggest concern on the tropical horizon is
Hurricane Ike with sustained winds of 140 mph making him a Category 4.
Indications are that he will be moving through the Bahamas Monday and
after that there may be a threat to the east coast of Florida. You
cannot issue you a money-back guarantee that he will not try to get in
the Gulf of Mexico. It will be a crucial watch and wait game starting
early next week. Meanwhile, it appears that Hanna will have an affect
on the east coast. She had sustained winds of 65 mph this afternoon.
Her projected track is to curve northward passing east of
Jacksonville, Savannah and Charleston and making landfall on the North
Carolina coast, then continuing up the east coast to near Portland,
Maine. The first part of that track represents a slightly eastward
shift. She has projected to become a hurricane near the South Carolina
coast, but not a major one

GLOBAL ROAMING: Anchorage finished the month of August around 2
degrees cooler than average. The entire summer there has been cooler
than normal overall. In Birmingham, we did not
reach 100 a single time during August and overall the month averaged
10 degrees cooler than a year ago when we had a bunch of days 100 or
higher. 111 in Death Valley was the hottest in the country yesterday.
Lows this morning included 26 at Stanley, Idaho and 30 at Anaktuvuk,
Alaska. Heavy rain from Gustav has given Little Rock a 13-inch surplus
for the year. Just in the last 24 hours, Little Rock got 3.49,
Springfield, Missouri 2.98 and Memphis over 1 inch. Our global
atmosphere has a weight equal to a layer of water covering the entire
earth for a depth of 34 feet.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: First a personal note. I am the
behindest I have ever been on replying to email. I treasure your
notes, so please keep them coming. I will definitely
acknowledge all of them. I appreciate how many people love Little Miss
Molly, seemingly as much as me. A friend in Hueytown with two Shi-Tzus
will have both of them at the puppy beauty shop today. That is always
an experience. Molly had her feelings hurt last night because we would
not let her sleep in the living area with the grandkids. After putting
her to bed, she jumped down several times and tried to escape. When
she finally settled down, she insisted on sleeping at the foot of the
bed away from us. Life goes on.
