...A Change In Weather...

TRUE EXAMPLE OF AN AUTUMN WEEKEND: We sure have been lucky with
football games not being bothered by rain this season. Almost every
game has been played under ideal conditions.

Not quite so lucky with high school games tonight when there will be a
chance of a shower at most stadiums, but temperatures will be
comfortable and even a bit on the chilly side as the evening goes on.
For Friday night games, ideal weather with clear conditions and
temperatures dropping into the 50s during the game. While we are on
the subject, let's discuss the weather for Saturday's games. Alabama
will host Ole Miss in Tuscaloosa at 2:30 p.m. on CBS TV. Picture
perfect weather with near 70 at kick off and in the low 60s by the
final whistle. Almost identical weather for Marshall University in
town to play UAB at Legion Field with a 3:00 p.m. kick off.

HOW MUCH RAIN? A cold front was pushing toward the NW corner of
Alabama this afternoon and light rain had spread into the extreme
north and NW. As the front continues to edge its way southward,
occasional showers can be expected across Central Alabama tonight and
through most of Friday morning. While temperatures exceeded 80 through
the central and south counties this afternoon, do not be surprised to
experience some highs in the 66 to 70-degree range Friday. It will be
clearing late in the day and then almost entirely clear from Saturday
through next Tuesday. The nights will be chilly. We look for near 50
Saturday morning and in the mid to upper 40s Sunday morning. Highs on
all those days will be in the low to mid 70s and the humidity will be
quite low. The weather for Sunday looks like what you would find if
you looked up the word "autumn" in the dictionary. Not out of the
question to hear of a low temperature around 38 or 39 Sunday morning
at some place in NE Alabama, the traditional cold spots.

TROPICAL WEATHER: This afternoon Hurricane Omar was about 180 miles
NE of the Northern Leeward Islands and headed out into the open
Atlantic. He is losing strength over the cooler waters. A large area
of nervous weather, a tropical wave, was about 950 miles ESE of the
Southern Windward Islands. There may be slow development of that
system in the next couple of days as it moves westward at 10-15 mph.

GLOBAL ROAMING: It was 11 below zero this morning in good old
Deadhorse, Alaska. That town is about as far north as you can get in
Alaska unless you go on up to Barrow where they have a championship
high school football team…now 11 inches of snow on the ground at
Barrow and 10 inches at Bettles…down here where all 48 states touch
each other, the coldest this morning was at Leadville high up in the
Colorado Rockies where I slid off of an icy street one night into a
ravine as a blizzard was approaching.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Little Miss Molly's IQ is getting better
and better each day and she takes advantage of that. This morning I
took her on an early, early walk. When we get back each time, she
bubbles over with excitement awaiting a treat as payoff for her going
to the bathroom. After giving her the treat, I took the garbage out
and when I came back in, she was politicking for another treat because
she considered that I had gone on a trip and come back. After that
treat, she gathered some balls for a big game. There is no rest for
the weary, but I love her. Life goes on.
