...October Still Acting Unusual...

THE ALABAMA STORY: As we get into the weekend, we are going to have
some more changeable weather. A warm front has been involved in our
weather today. Last night it was lined up along the Gulf Coast and it
began moving north. This set off some widespread rain and a few
thunderstorms with some locally heavy amounts over the northern third
of the state. There was not much lightning with these. This afternoon,
most of those showers had moved north into Tennessee, but we still
have more problems off to our west. Showers and thunderstorms were
fairly numerous and rather strong this afternoon over the eastern
parts of Texas and Oklahoma and into NW Louisiana and Arkansas. We
will have to deal with this weather over the next 24 to 48 hours, but
the eastward movement is rather slow. So this is what we are
projecting for Central Alabama:

Only a slight chance of a shower tonight with temperatures hanging
steady in the mid 60s. Brisk, SE wind on Friday with scattered showers
and maybe some thunderstorms, mostly in the afternoon and evening.
Widespread rain and a few thunderstorms on Saturday, but also
noticeably cooler. Sunshine returns both Sunday and Monday with
pleasant afternoon temperatures, but chilly mornings around 46.

FOOTBALL WEATHER: Good news for high school games tonight. We believe
most stadiums will be without rain. Not as lucky Friday night when
there will be some scattered showers and storms. For college football,
Concordia will be at Miles College for a 6:00 kick off this evening.
Good chance of getting through the game without rain and temperatures
will hang mostly in the 60s. Ole Miss will be at Auburn Saturday for
an 11:30 kick off. There is a good chance of rain and maybe a few
thunderstorms during the game, but it will be cooler with game-time
temperatures mostly in the 60s. UAB will be way far away in El Paso
laying UTEP at 2:00 p.m. It will be sunny with mid 60s most of the
game. Now, the Magic City Classic—a very special occasion that is more
than just a football game. It is on Saturday and it includes a parade
and lots of other outdoor activities. Numerous people are already in
town and are busy meeting friends and tailgating. The kick off is at
2:30 p.m. at Legion Field. You will need a light jacket and some rain
gear. There is a good chance of some rain and the temperature will not
get any higher than about 62 with a brisk NW wind. Another big event
this weekend are the NASCAR races at Talladega. A good chance of some
showers and thunderstorms for the Saturday event, but the weather
looks perfect for the main race on Sunday. It will be almost all
sunshine with cooler temperatures. The high during the race about 68
to 70.

AROUND THE GOOL OLD USA: Severe weather this afternoon with a Tornado
Watch in the eastern sections of Oklahoma
and Texas, Southern Arkansas and NW Louisiana. A historic snowstorm
was winding down in parts of the Rockies. It has been described as the
biggest snowstorm in about 12 years in much of that area. Denver was
hard hit, among many other places. One of the biggest snow amounts was
40 inches at Black Hawk, Colorado in Gilpin County. There was 44
inches at Pinecliff.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: I believe that Little Miss Molly has
ESP. This morning she was passed out like a rock in my favorite chair.
Her best friend, Dino the little Yorkie, passed by out front on his
morning bathroom break. He did not make any noise, but Little Miss
Molly came roaring out of her sleep and went on full alert and was
scratching at the door wanting to get out and play with him. Later,
when I walked Molly, she stopped behind his house and cried and cried.
It will not be long until her IQ exceeds mine, which is going down.
Life goes on.
