...Good Chance of Rain Ahead...

FRIDAY OUR WETTEST DAY: Weather systems are maneuvering to where it
still looks like a good rain event coming up for the state of Alabama.
During the night, some slightly cooler and drier air tippy-toed into
the state from the NE. It will get out of here soon as the weather
turns around and favors a rain event. An intense low-pressure system
for October was centered near Omaha this afternoon with a cold front
down into Central Texas. As that system moves east, plenty of moist
air will flow northward from the Gulf of Mexico. There may be another
low-pressure area developing over the North Gulf of Mexico by Friday
morning. Anyway, here is what we think will happen:
Clouds will increase tomorrow. A few showers may show up by afternoon.
The showers should increase later Thursday night. Friday continues to
be the choice rain day. In fact, the rain may be steady at times and
even a thunderstorm is possible. SE winds will increase to 10-20 mph
and the temperature may not get out of the upper 50s all day.
Uncomfortable is the word. Good news, however, because we can use the
rain. Most of the rains should be out of here by the time you awaken
Saturday and the weather should be clearing. Mostly sunshine on Sunday
with a chilly early morning.

HOW MUCH RAIN: We believe that 1 inch or slightly more is entirely
reasonable with this total storm system. Not bad for October and all
of the rain will be welcome.

FOOTBALL WEATHER: A few showers may be around for the Thursday night
high school games with temperatures falling through the 60s into the
upper 50s. Games Friday night will have to deal with a good chance of
rain at times, with temperatures in the 50s through the entire game.
In college football, Auburn is at West Virginia with a 6:30 p.m. kick
off in Morgantown tomorrow on ESPN. Should be clear and chilly with 54
at kick off and in the 40s by the second half. Two games here in
Birmingham with the Citadel at Samford for homecoming and also the
Magic City Classic at Legion Field with a 2:30 kick off between
Alabama A&M and Alabama State. It should be mostly clear for both
games with about 65 at kick off and 50s in the 4th quarter. Alabama is
in a crucial game in Knoxville at 6:45 p.m. Saturday on ESPN. There
may still be a slight chance of some rain in the vicinity with 50s at
kick off and about 46 when all of the Tennessee fans hop in their
boats and take off. That is a unique sight.

GLOBAL ROAMING: A Blizzard Warning for tonight and tomorrow over NW
Kansas, especially around Goodland. They could get up to 7 inches of
snow with blinding visibility under ¼ mile at times and winds gusting
as high as 60 mph. Other parts of the Plains will also be affected.
Cold temperatures this morning included 8 above at Stanley, Idaho and
7 below at Kaltag, Alaska. It was 23 at Banner Elk and Jefferson, both
in the North Carolina mountains.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: It may be because it is cooler, but
Little Miss Molly has flashed back to her early day habits of wanting
to walk forever. I believe if I had not turned her around, she would
have wound up at DeSoto State Park today. She does not miss anything
and there is always something interesting to see. This morning, we saw
a teenage butterfly lying in the middle of the concrete walk. Molly
approached it very slowly and finally touched it with her nose. The
butterfly fluttered upward quickly and Molly bolted. I had assumed
that the butterfly had suffered a cardiac arrest, but it may have been
just resting. An old crow played music for us for the entire walk.
Life goes on.
