ALABAMA ONE CALL
KNOW WHAT'S BELOW
CALL 811 BEFORE YOU DIG

Whether planning to do it yourself or hire a professional excavator,
smart digging means calling 811 before each job to find out where
it's safe to dig.

Every digging project requires a call to Alabama One Call--even
small projects like building a fence, planting shrubs and trees or
installing a mailbox.

One free easy call to 811 or 205-252-4444 at least 48 hours
prior to digging:

* Gets utility owned lines marked for free!
* Complies with Alabama Act 94-487.
* Helps prevent undesired consequences and possible service
disruptions to your neighborhood.

...We Dry Out A Bit...

Our beloved J.B. Elliott is having some oral surgery done today, so I
get the privilege of sitting in for him. So no Miss Molly story
today, although I guess I could tell some great stories about our 13
year cat named Fluffy. Has to be the best cat ever. I wonder if she
and Miss Molly would get along…

HIGH PRESSURE HELPS OUT A BIT: The Bermuda High is flexing its
muscles today and ridging over into eastern Alabama. This will allow
for fewer showers and storms over the eastern half of the state.
Storms have been more numerous over western sections, especially the
Northwest corner of the state where a flash flood warning was in
effect for Lawrence County at early afternoon. This pattern should
remain in place on Thursday for the most part. If you find yourself
under one of these tropical downpours, rainfall will still have the
potential to be heavy, but we don't anticipate the kind of flooding
problems we have seen over the past few days.

FRONT BY THE WEEKEND: Things will start to move by the weekend as
the big upper low to the west opens into a trough and lifts out. This
will push a front our way. Rain chances will be a little better on
Friday, and it looks like we will deal with a good chance of showers
and storms Saturday or Saturday night, into Sunday morning. The exact
timing is still up in the air, but suffice to say there may be some
showers around for the football games Saturday at Tuscaloosa and
Auburn. UAB is away this week. There may be a few lingering showers
early Sunday, but we finally will realize a little of the promise of
fall by Monday and next week.

TROPICS: The tropical Atlantic continues quiet. The GFS has been
trying to spin up a tropical
cyclone near the Antilles around the first week of October, sending it
toward the Bahamas before curving it northward.

WEATHERBRAINS EPISODE 191: Robert Henson, author of the Rough Guide
to Climate Change appeared as the Guest WeatherBrain on Monday night
and answered questions and gave his opinion about the controversial
issue. James and Tim gave him a hard time and it was a spirited
debate. Download the show at www.weatherbrains.com or subscribe on
iTunes. Follow us on Twitter @weatherbrains and you could win a copy
of the book next Monday night.

ON THIS DATE IN 2004: Four named tropical cyclones were going on in
the Atlantic basin simultaneously, one of only five times that has
happened since the modern satellite era of tracking storms began in
1960. Hurricane Karl was about 1,000 miles southwest of the Azores,
moving over the open waters of the North Atlantic. Hurricane Jeanne
was approaching the Bahamas, on her way to a rendezvous with the East
Coast of Florida. Tropical Storm Lisa was about 1,000 miles west of
the Cape Verde Islands. Tropical Storm Ivan had regenerated after the
most unlikely of courses that carried the storm through the Caribbean,
to the Alabama/Florida coast, across the Appalachians and back over
the Atlantic southeast of North Carolina. From there it looped back
across Florida and re-intensified over the Gulf of Mexico. As amazed
forecasters and bewildered coastal residents tracked this "Son of
Ivan" tropical storm, it headed toward the Texas/Louisiana border.
