...The Season Is Changing...

OCTOBER—A NEW BEGINNING: We had a good invasion of cool air right at
the end of September and now as we begin October we turn wet again
starting very late tonight and well into Friday. We may see some
scattered showers and thunderstorms in Central Alabama toward daybreak
tomorrow. Our beloved weather models have backed off considerably on
the amount of rain. The NAM now projects only 0.36 and the GFS even
less at 0.34. We should not lower it that much, but it does not look
like a big rain event and it is going to be quick to come and quick to
go.

We believe that the occasional showers and maybe some thunderstorms
will be ending by late afternoon Friday. That will be replaced by
mostly sunny weather on Saturday with pleasant temperatures. We think
Sunday should be partly sunny and dry. Again, there is a chance for
some more showers and thunderstorms early next week even as early as
Monday.
Involved in this weather picture is another cool front. By daybreak,
the front should be near the NW corner of Alabama reaching Central
Alabama by late Friday. The front should be far enough south that we
should have nice weather Saturday and Sunday. By Monday, however,
moist air will start returning north. We may see an increase in
showers and thunderstorms by next Thursday as another front pushes
down and stalls in Central Alabama. That is really getting the wagon
before the mule, so we will get back to the present and discuss some…

FOOTBALL WEATHER: It looks like the timing of this rain event will be
friendly to high school football for sure tonight and most likely for
the Friday night games. We believe the showers will be out of the way
before Friday night kick offs. Temperatures at kick-off time tonight
should be in the upper 60s. For tomorrow night, in the mid 60s at kick
off lowering to the 50s. Southern Miss is in Birmingham to play UAB at
7:00 this evening. Kick-off temperature should be 73 falling into the
60s with dry weather. On Saturday, Alabama will be in Kentucky for an
11:21 kick off. About 58 degrees at kick off and warming slowly into
the lower 60s. Auburn is in Knoxville to play Tennessee for a 6:45
kick off. It should be around 65 at kick off and dropping to around
48-50 at the final whistle.

ROAMING: Big snow event in the Rocky Mountains as if on signal that
October is here. As much as 23 inches of new snow in part of Western
Wyoming. 3 inches on the ground at Yellowstone National Park. USA low
this morning was 15 at Ely, Nevada. If you throw in Alaska, it was 5
below zero at Anaktuvuk Pass, Alaska. The Atlantic Basin is still as
quiet as can be, as far as tropical activity is concerned.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Little Miss Molly and her future wanta-
be husband Little Dino the Yorkie, teamed up yesterday afternoon on
the walking track for a big cat hunt. As luck would have it, both were
out walking when the big cat came strolling down the walk followed
soon by a very large cat that I have never seen before. You would have
thought those two little dogs were on an African safari. They did not
want to come back home. Instead, they waited and watched. One of the
cats had dived into the hedgerow. I saw it peep out to see if the way
was clear. He saw Molly and went deeper into the hedgerow. Little Dino
and Molly could not be better friends and they are a riot to watch
together. Life goes on.
