...Complaint Department Closed...

THE ALABAMA STORY: It was one of those rare occasions in late August
that we did not get a single complaint about the weather. The humidity
was low enough both Saturday and Sunday to make any outdoor activity a
pleasure instead of an ordeal with perspiration and heat.

STATEWIDE COOL DOWN: When folks got up this morning, not only was it
pleasantly cool over North and Central Alabama, but it was very
comfortable all the way to the coast. Even Mobile Regional Airport had
a low of 60 and Florala 64. We posted a long list of morning lows on
the ABC 33/40 Weather BLOG. Here is a small representative sample:

52 Russellville Airport and West of Millport
53 Cottondale
54 Munford
55 Cedar Bluff, Pinson, Decatur, Dora
56 Ft. Payne, Talladega, Jasper, Moulton
57 Birmingham, Huntsville, Anniston
58 Montgomery, Clanton, Childersburg

We are still in that good weather trend for several more days,
however, a SE wind will be slowly re-establishing our humidity by late
in the week. We look for a few showers to show up on Thursday and
scattered ones on Friday. There are now indications that another
frontal boundary will be pushing toward the SE and arriving in Alabama
over the weekend resupplying our relatively cool temperatures by Monday.

AT THE BEACH: Generally good weather through Friday, although a few
showers or thunderstorms by late in the week. Highs will only be in
the upper 80s.

IN THE TROPICS: What was once Hurricane Bill is rapidly racing out of
the picture across the colder waters of the North Atlantic no longer a
hurricane or even a tropical storm. All watches and warnings have been
discontinued. It was over 200 miles NE of Cape Race, Newfoundland
rapidly moving east. Now our attention turns SE again to a
disorganized batch of showers and thunderstorms due to a tropical wave
several hundred miles east of the Leeward Islands. It could develop
slowly over the next couple of days. There is a decent chance it could
eventually grow into a tropical storm.

HAY RUSTLING: Believe it or not, that is becoming a real problem in
the real drought areas of South Texas. Hay has become so scarce,
because of the drought that night raiders are hooking on to those big
round bales of hay that you see in pastures and stealing them. No sign
of the severe drought coming to an end. Austin has had 63 days this
year of highs 100 or better and San Antonio 65 days at Stinson Field.
It was 104 yesterday in San Antonio and 103 in Waco and Austin.
Hottest in the USA was 110 in Death Valley. Lowest this morning 28 at
Meacham, Oregon and 29 at Holy Cross, Alaska. It was 41 this morning
on Newfound Gap in the Great Smoky Mountain National Park.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: My Little Miss Molly will soon be 7
years old. She has been a complete joy from the day she walked in the
door and fully bonded with me in less than 45 seconds. Our two great
grandchildren, ages 2 and 1, were here over the weekend, so Molly
spent much of her time walking all over the place to stay out of the
way or simply hiding. No ballgames during that time. So, this morning
she took the matter into her own hands (er, paws) and did one of her
famous energy bursts. She has to get rid of the pent up energy and she
will run all over the house at seemingly 40 mph and there is no way
anyone can catch her. It is a riot to watch. Life goes on and since
Little Miss Molly came on board, it sure has been a trip.
