...A Sunny, Cool Weekend...

EARLY CHILL NEXT SEVERAL DAYS: Today was a textbook example of the
have(s) and the have not(s) when it comes to dishing out the rain.
Mother Nature does that often. A number of communities today hardly
had enough to wet the ground. Still other communities, especially in
the north and NW part of the state, received a good soaking. Blame all
of that on a weather system that slowed to a crawl as it got closer to
Alabama. It rained for hours over the NW counties. In Central Alabama,
very little rain fell in the Tuscaloosa/Birmingham area.

A cold front was pushing into the state this afternoon. As it
encountered a good moisture pool over South Alabama, a line of
thunderstorms developed. Those were moving through SE Alabama this
afternoon. That cold front should be near the Georgia coast by
daybreak Saturday. Cooler air will be spilling into Alabama from the
north and west. It looks like a mostly sunny weekend with chilly
nights and cool days. We may see our lowest temperatures about Sunday
morning and some scattered light frost should dot the Alabama
countryside. Low temperatures both Sunday and Monday should be 35 to
38 across Central Alabama. We will likely see a light freeze in some
of the North Alabama colder valleys. It happens often in autumn and
winter with terrain like we have in Alabama.

A few examples of the more significant rain in Alabama so far today.
These totals are incomplete, because it was still raining in parts of
the state.

0.90 Haleyville
0.85 Decatur
1.21 Phil Campbell
0.96 Waterloo (in the NW corner of Alabama)
0.79 eight miles WSW of Russellville
0.78 just NNW of Rogersville

FOOTBALL WEATHER: For high school playoff games tonight, still a
slight risk of a shower, mainly on the east side of the state. Auburn
will host U. T. Martin for their homecoming game Saturday afternoon
with a 1:30 kick off on PPV. It should be sunny with about 68 at kick
off and in the 50s in the 4th quarter. Alabama is in Baton Rouge to
play LSU at 2:30 Saturday on CBS. Mostly sunny, about 75 at kick off,
and in the 60s in the second half. If you are driving down to Baton
Rouge this afternoon or tonight, the rain has already ended in that
area and the sky was clearing.

TROPICAL WEATHER: Hurricane Paloma was projected to become a mean
Category 2 later today or tonight. After crossing near Grand Cayman,
the hurricane is expected to cross the very center of Cuba and then
continue NE through the Bahamas by Monday and then into the open
Atlantic. The main impact on Cuba will be Saturday night and Sunday.
Meanwhile, we had a question this morning if there had ever been a
situation where a blizzard and hurricane was ongoing at the same time,
especially with the hurricane as close by as the Caribbean. Maybe Bill
Murray will answer that tonight when he writes the edition for
Saturday morning.

GLOBAL ROAMING: That was quite a blizzard in the Midwest. Deadwood,
South Dakota got 45.7 inches of snow, Blind Bull Summit, Wyoming got
15 inches and near 21 inches at Afton, Wyoming. Cold temperatures this
morning 3 below zero at Climax, Colorado and 20 below at Eielson AFB,
Alaska.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Another busy day trying to get Molly's
house refinanced because our mortgage holder, Washington Mutual, bit
the dust. Little Miss Molly, of course, got ignored, but I did have
one 3-minute fast-moving ballgame with her because she entrapped me
when I went to the kitchen to get another cup of coffee. She will get
right in the middle of the living area and kick a ball toward me. Life
goes on.
