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.

...Record September Rainfall?...

GREAT WEATHER NEXT WEEK: Old Mother Nature has treated us like a pop
whip taking us from rain and thunderstorms to a brief respite with dry
weather then back to more thunderstorms. But we do have what I
consider some great news down the road.

We have had at least two days generally rain free. That was crucial to
have, because it permitted swollen streams all around the state to
drain down somewhat. The Tombigbee River was still slightly above
flood stage in the Demopolis area this morning, but it was thawing.

Only a few showers were in progress around Alabama early this
afternoon, but a line of thunderstorms over Mississippi was
approaching the NW corner of Alabama. NWS/Memphis posted several Flash
Flood Warnings for some NE Mississippi and SW Tennessee counties. A
Flash Flood Watch was in effect for much of Middle Tennessee and the
NWS/Huntsville posted a Flash Flood Watch for the Tennessee Valley
counties in Alabama.

While there will be some scattered showers and thunderstorms at times
tonight, we believe the main batch of showers and thunderstorms will
occur Saturday as a cool front gets closer to the state. They should
diminish Saturday evening, but rain could be heavy at times Saturday.

GREAT WEATHER AHEAD: Clouds should move out during the day Sunday as
the humidity drops and we should have mostly sunshine Monday and
Tuesday and possibly Wednesday. The humidity will be noticeably lower
with high temperatures ranging from 78 to 82 and night-time lows as
cool as the mid 50s by Tuesday morning. After the Saturday storms, we
see little or no rain for most of next week. That will give us about 5
days to get rid of some of the high water.

MOUNDVILLE: Several West Alabama counties got some of the worst of
the recent flooding including places like Bibb, Hale and Greene
Counties. The Moundville Times reported that there was flood damage to
one of the Indian mounds at the Moundville Archaeological Park. Those
mounds have been there for ages and I remember nearly freezing to
death when I was a kid in an Easter pageant at sunrise on Easter
morning. The Moundville Times office was also flooded when water came
in from the parking lot.

FOOTBALL WEATHER: There is about a 1 in 4 chance that a shower or
thunderstorm will occur for high school games tonight with the better
chance at some of the North and West Alabama stadiums. Alabama will
host Arkansas for a 2:30 kick off. There is a good chance of showers
and thunderstorms at some point during the game. It should be near 80
at kick off. Auburn hosts Ball State for a 6:00 p.m. kick off. Some
rain is likely with near 78 at kick off. UAB travels out to East Texas
to play Texas A&M for a 6:00 p.m. kick off. They should have dry
weather and near 80 degrees.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Little Miss Molly is logging a lot of
sleeping hours. She may be storing up sleep because she heard me say
there would be thunderstorms tomorrow. We rearranged our living area
to where she can have the entire back of the couch as a lookout point.
She sure did thank us. Now it is impossible for anybody or any dog to
go along the walking track without getting a vigorous protest from
Molly for invading her territory. Life goes on.
