...Warming Trend Continues...

CHANCE OF SHOWERS ON FRIDAY: No way to improve on Election Day
weather across Alabama. Based on news reports, there is a heavy
turnout of voters and officials predict a record turnout. There has
been a little bit of cloudiness circulating into SE Alabama due to a
persistent low off the coast of the Carolinas, but overall we expect
lots of clear weather to continue through most of Thursday.

There was quite a variation in low temperatures across Alabama this
morning. At Scrougout in NE Alabama, the low was 36. That broke a
string of 8 consecutive mornings with temperatures freezing or lower.
In contrast, it was 15 degrees warmer atop Mt. Cheaha this morning
with a low of 51.

DID YOU KNOW that Mt. Cheaha was originally named by the Creek
Indians. They called it Chaha, which meant "high places." Cheaha is
the highest point in Alabama
with an elevation of 2,047 feet. There is a nice story about Mt.
Cheaha State Park in the October edition of Outdoor Alabama that came
in the mail today.

OUR NEXT RAIN: It does not appear to be a major rain event, but it
looks like Friday is our best chance as another cold front pushes
through from the NW. The front will be moving across Alabama during
the day Friday. By Saturday, it should be over by the Georgia coast
and we will have clearing and cooler weather on Saturday. Over the
weekend, highs will only be in the mid 60s and lows 43 to 45.

SEVERE WEATHER: As that front pushes toward the SE, a slight risk of
severe weather is indicated from East Oklahoma and East Kansas into
West Missouri, East Nebraska and Western Iowa. For Thursday and
Thursday night, the slight risk is shifted eastward to include part of
East Texas, almost all of Louisiana and Mississippi and extending
northward through East Arkansas, West Tennessee into Southern Illinois.

GLOBAL ROAMING: Todd Foisey, our 33/40 Weather Watcher at Girwood,
Alaska reports 28 of the last 30 days with high temperatures below
average. During that time, the average high has been 7 degrees below
normal. 90 in Casa Grande, Arizona was the hot spot yesterday. Cold
places this morning included 19 at Cutbank, Montana and 8 below at
McGrath, Alaska. There was 9 inches of snow on the ground at Fairbanks
and 11 inches at Barrow, Alaska. Barking Sands, Hawaii had 71. Just
threw that in because of the unusual name. 8 to 14 inches of new snow
is forecast for the Colorado mountains. The persistent low-pressure
area along the Mid-Atlantic coast dumped 4.56 inches of rain at
Beaufort, North Carolina in the last 24 hours and 3.35 at Hatteras.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: It was quite a standoff. Reminded me of
Matt Dillon facing a gunman in the streets of Dodge City. Much smaller
creatures involved
this morning. It was Little Miss Molly and the CC (Community Cat).
They happened to meet on the walking track and the cat did not run
right away. Molly was digging her claws into the concrete and pulling
on the leash with all her might to catch the cat. Finally the cat took
off and Molly calmed down. I still wonder how little dogs, almost from
birth, know that they are supposed to chase cats and rabbits. At a
real young age, how do they distinguish. Proves again that Molly has
twice my IQ. Life goes on. I will be as smart as she is one of these
days.
