...Showers Possible Late Thursday...

ANOTHER DAY OF FULL SUNSHINE TOMORROW: Some changes are ahead in
Alabama weather, but they are not major. It is all due to a cold front
(perhaps we should say cool front) moving SE out of the nation's bread
basked and pushing into Alabama Thursday night and Friday. By
Saturday, the front will push off shore into the Northern Gulf leaving
some ideal autumn weather for Saturday and Sunday. The front will set
off some showers and thunderstorms. Here in Central Alabama, those
should occur late Thursday and Thursday night and on Friday. Clearing
is expected Friday night with cooler temperatures.

HOW MUCH RAIN? Not enough to get excited about. In fact, some of the
computerized guidance hints at very little. However, when a front is
involved this time of year, there can be minor surprises and we could
get a little more. This is especially true Friday when we could get
1/3 inch or more. Our coolest temperatures will be early mornings over
the weekend. Look for some upper 40s by Sunday morning. Highs both
Friday and Saturday should back off to the 70s. It will also be quite
a bit less humid for the weekend. It appears that we will have another
situation with custom-made weather for high school and college games
in the area this weekend. We will have more specific football
forecasts starting in Thursday's editions.

TROPICAL WEATHER: We have a new name on the stage today. It is
Tropical Storm Omar. There is also a new tropical depression #16
centered about 40 miles north of the Nicaragua/Honduras border. It
will move westward just off the South American coast. As far as Omar
is concerned, he should move toward the north and NE way up into the
Central Atlantic by Saturday and Sunday. But first, he will have to
cross just east of Puerto Rico and through the Virgin Islands. He is
projected to become a hurricane possibly by early tomorrow. TD #16
will move into Belize by later tomorrow. Often a tropical depression
on this path can produce some big time flooding in the mountainous
parts of Honduras. #16 is expected to become a tropical storm by
tomorrow morning.

GLOBAL ROAMING: Don't you think it is ironic that Greenland,
overloaded with ice, is extremely cold when the name of the country
would suggest otherwise. Why isn't Iceland the coldest? Instead, the
climate there is much milder than Greenland. It is also interesting
that a large percentage of the homes on Iceland are heated from warm-
water springs…cold temperatures this morning included 13 at Lander,
Wyoming and Grand Canyon, Arizona…Lander still has a heavy snow cover
following the 30-inch weekend storm.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: I have received several e-mails lately
strongly suggesting if someone wants to get a dog to go for a rescue
dog. There is a drive on now to establish an Alabama license plate on
that subject. I will post something on the Blog about that later.
Meanwhile, Barry Sartain, who lives on an old dirt road near
Brookwood, said that most of their pets for the last 30 years have
been drop offs. They got their latest edition about 2 months ago and
named him Teddy. He had been abused and was losing sight in one eye,
but he is smart and loving. They also have a black cat named Midnight.
The cat lies on his back and Teddy will come over and sit on him. When
the cat gets tired of being chased, he turns around and chases the
dog. Another wonderful story about pets. Life goes on.
