...Moderating Temperatures...

GREAT WEATHER FOR VOTING: If you decide to not vote tomorrow, there
is absolutely no way you can blame it on the weather. In every nook
and corner of Alabama, the weather will be ideal. Even if you go to
the polls at 7:00 a.m., temperatures should already be in the lower
50s and the high during the afternoon should be in the mid 70s with
mostly sunshine.

THE REST OF THE WEEK: No more real chilly temperatures all the way
through the weekend. We do look for another cold front later in the
week. That front was in the Central Plains this afternoon. It should
come sliding through Alabama at some point late Thursday night and
early Friday. There may not be a ton of moisture ingested into the
system to give us a widespread rain, but most everybody will have a
decent chance of showers and possibly a thunderstorm, mainly Thursday
night and Friday morning. The front will bring some cooler
temperatures starting on Friday with highs by Saturday and Sunday
backing off to the middle 60s. Too early to be specific on college
football weather Saturday, but it looks generally good with highs in
the60s.

MORE TORNADOES COMPARED TO LONG AGO: I was glad to see the story by
Bill Murray about that in the morning edition. There is no question
that there are a lot more tornadoes than 30 years ago. We are not
really having more in the long term, but they are detected much more
easily now with Doppler radar augmented by an extensive storm spotter
network and far better communications. Zillions of cell phones out in
the countryside and ham radio operators are always a great addition.

GLOBAL ROAMING: Down here in the lower 48 states, the thermometer was
as high as 92 Sunday in Bullhead City, Arizona and as low as 16 this
morning in Berlin, New Hampshire. Up in the NW country, 4 to 10 inches
of new snow is expected in Yellowstone National Park in the next 2 or
3 days. Quite a variety of weather in Alaska on Barter Island just off
the north coast. It was 14 as noon approached with east winds gusting
to 46 mph and a wind chill of 8 below. In good old Deadhorse, it was 2
above with a wind chill of 16 below. One time a number of years ago, a
polar bear was found strolling down the second floor hallway of the
Deadhorse Hotel.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: I get a bit jittery this time of year
afraid that the autumn leaves will be gone before I get a full dose of
enjoyment. A marked change over the weekend. They are really coming
out. The recent frost sent kudzu scrambling for cover and it is going
into its winter wardrobe—grey leaves all crumpled. The scene along
Edwards Lake Road in Huffman by the Ingram Lake is awesome. Little
Miss Molly does not pay much attention to the autumn foliage, but in
the semi-darkness the other morning she took off after a large leaf
off the sassafras tree was being blown about by the wind. She may have
thought it was a baby rabbit. I wish you could have seen the little
girl Halloween night. We had at least 30 or 40 youngsters come by. She
greeted all the little children and some of them gave her a head rub.
She was exhausted by 9:00 when there was no more traffic. Life goes
on.
