...Chance of Showers Tomorrow...

A SUNNY WEEKEND: An eastward moving cold front is near the
Mississippi River this afternoon and moving toward the east, but
generally in no hurry. For Central Alabama, the front is expected to
arrive around mid morning Friday and by late in the day it should be
down in peanut country in SE Alabama.
There will be some showers along and ahead of the front. You might
hear a few rumbles of thunder, but we do not expect a significant
thunderstorm situation at all. Unfortunately, our hope for a
significant amount of rain is also rather low. Most communities will
be lucky to get around 1/3 of an inch. The clouds should move out
before daybreak Saturday leaving some more autumn weather for Alabama
for the weekend. Looking way down the road, we may have a more
significant chance of showers and some thunderstorms about Tuesday.

THIS WEEKEND: Look for mostly sunshine with chilly mornings and
comfortable afternoons. Low temperatures both Sunday and Monday will
be close to 40 and most surely some 30s in the colder valleys of North
Alabama. Highs both Sunday and Monday should be in the 60s.

FOOTBALL WEATHER: U. T. Martin travels to Auburn for the Auburn
Homecoming game Saturday afternoon. Kick off is 1:30 and for PPV only.
Look for sunshine with a
temperature around 68 to 70 at kick off and in the 50s by the 4th
quarter. Alabama will be playing LSU in Baton Rouge with a 2:30 kick
off Saturday on CBS. It should be mostly sunny with about 72 at kick
off and 60s in the second half. No significant wind.

TROPICAL WEATHER: It is a late one but Tropical Storm Paloma was
growing stronger this afternoon and it was turning north from a
position about 100 miles NE of Cabo Gracias A Dios on the Nicaragua/
Honduras border. It should turn more NE late on Friday or Saturday.
Winds had increased to 60 mph. It is forecast to strengthen steadily
in the next couple of days. It could become a hurricane tonight or
tomorrow. The official track forecast turns it NE passing through the
Western Caribbean and right across the center of Cuba. Then it moves
out into the open Atlantic toward the Bahamas. It should be a
hurricane even before reaching Cuba. That country has really had an
overdose of tropical systems this season with disastrous human
suffering and property damage.

GLOBAL ROAMING: An amazing winter storm plowing across the Northern
Plains. The low-pressure center should be in Minnesota by tomorrow
morning. The big story has been in the Dakotas and parts of Wyoming.
As much as 3 feet of snow has accumulated in Western South Dakota in
drifts and there were near whiteout conditions at times. Visibility
was as low as zero. A wind gust of 81 mph occurred at Horse Creek,
Wyoming. Automated wind instruments showed a gust of over 100 mph at
Buffalo, Wyoming and Rapid City, South Dakota. The NWS believes those
are too high. An official gust to 72 mph at Rapid City Airport. Alta,
Utah, in the Wasatch Mountains, got 34 inches of snow from this storm
system. Coldest temperatures in the USA this morning was zero at
Meeker, Colorado and 13 below at Eielson Air Force Base in Alaska.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Sadly we have lost another great
neighbor on our street. Her funeral was today. That is the second one
is less than a week. The funeral today was for one of the best friends
of Molly. Every time she would be out in her backyard and saw us
walking the track, she would come up a slight embankment and across
the open area near the Old Crow Motel specifically to have a love
session with Molly. That, of course, included a belly rub. For a long
time in the future, Molly will plop down in the grass near her home
and hope she will come out. Next week I want to run another story of a
person who lost their dog. Life goes on, but unfortunately little
doggies do not live as long as we do.
