...Cool Dry Air Everywhere...

FIRST REAL TOUCH OF AUTUMN: I am holding in my coffee-stained fingers
a surface weather map of all of North and Central America. It seems
like cool dry air is everywhere. That is an exaggeration, of course,
but the weather map is dominated by a long ridge of high pressure that
extends from Northern Canada to Texas and Louisiana. This has pushed a
cool front deep into the South and the front was moving through
Central Florida this morning and quite a way down into the Gulf of
Mexico.

This system will give Alabama some very nice weather, at least for the
next two days. But good things do not last forever in the world of
weather, so we will have a significant change by the end of the week.
Look for clouds to move in Thursday night. We could even have some
showers before daybreak Friday. There is a good chance of showers and
thunderstorms Friday. At this time, we believe those will get out of
here at some point Friday evening. That part is not sealed in stone.
Some of our weather models even hint at some lingering Saturday
morning showers. For this forecast, however, we will leave them out.

The showers and thunderstorms on Friday will bring a good amount of
rain to many sections of the state. We believe that most places will
get over ½ inch of rain.

NOW BACK TO THE PLEASANT PART: I actually saw someone with a light
coat on this morning when I walked my little dog. It takes a lot
colder weather than this to make me reach for a jacket. The visibility
today is awesome. There is no smoke or haze in the air. There are
patches of cirrus clouds moving across the sky. Those are way up there
about 25,000 feet where it is well below zero. We posted a long list
of morning lows on the ABC 33/40 BLOG. However, here is a cross
section of lows from north to south across the state:

41 at Ft. Payne (the lowest reported)
43 Valley Head, Grantley
46 Hanceville, Pinson
47 Anniston
49 Birmingham, Jasper, Springville
50 Tuscaloosa
51 Montgomery
67 Gulf Shores

SOME INTERESTING RAIN NUMBERS: This report from Vic Bell, the 33/40
Skywatcher for Scrougeout in Etowah County. 9.91 inches of rain so far
in September, an even 60 inches for 2009 to date, but an amazing 78.14
inches for the last 12 months.

WILLARD, UTAH: Our friend, Matt Marshall, lives there. He is a real
weather geek. He reports mid and upper 80s the last few days, but a
high of only 49 for tomorrow. Big storm coming in. High elevations may
see 20 inches of snow. Elsewhere, a super powerful earthquake has
struck in the South Pacific off of American Samoa rated as an
unbelievable 8.3 on the Richter Scale. Tsunami Warnings were issued.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Little Miss Molly has developed a semi-
bad habit. She insists on having the warmest seat in the living area
to curl up for a nap. If one of us leaves even for a minute or two to
get coffee, she will steal our seat. Last night she changed sleeping
places four times in less than 5 minutes. She may be just trying to
tease me because I have to pick her up and move her every time. She
gently moans an objection until I put her down again. Then I give her
a head rub, do a check-to-cheek hug and all is well. Life goes on.
