...Showers Return Sunday...

A MIXED WEATHER MENU: All day yesterday afternoon and until late last
night, we were tracking some very active thunderstorms and heavy rain
across the South/Central USA. We knew they would eventually reach
Alabama, but we were concerned how strong they would be when they got
here. There were several Severe Thunderstorm Watches and even a
Tornado Watch with those storms, but not in Alabama.

By early this morning, the leading edge of the showers had reached NW
Alabama, but most of the lightning was gone and there was no threat of
severe weather. As the morning went on, the rain just simply fizzled.
The sky was beginning to clear in NW Alabama.

FOOTBALL WEATHER: We have made-to-order football weather for high
school games tonight in Alabama. Most areas should be mostly clear and
dry with temperatures in the 60s at kick off and dropping into the 50s
in the second half. On Saturday, Alabama is in Lexington for an 11:21
a.m. kick off with the Kentucky Wildcats. No rain is expected and it
should be around 56 degrees at kick off peaking at 62 during the game.
It will be breezy at times with winds up to 20 mph. Auburn is also on
the road in Knoxville playing Tennessee at 6:45 Saturday evening. Dry
weather is expected with about 65 degrees at kick off and 48 to 50 at
the final whistle.

THIS WEEKEND IN ALABAMA: The weather models are clashing in some ways
with the weather expected late in the weekend and through the middle
of next week. Look for all sunshine on Saturday. Clouds will increase
on Sunday with a chance of rain by afternoon and Sunday night.
Scattered showers and thunderstorms have returned to our forecast for
Monday and Tuesday. Probably the better chance will be on Monday. The
weak cool front pushing across Alabama will stall down south and start
heading back north Monday as a warm front. That is one of several
reasons why we will see some more showers and thunderstorms both
Monday and Tuesday.

TROPICAL WEATHER: Sure is getting late in the season to expect much
from the Atlantic Basin, which includes the Atlantic, the Caribbean
and our friend, the Gulf of Mexico. Long-term records have shown that
around September 10 is the maximum activity time for tropical storms
or hurricanes.

ELSEWHERE: 100 in Dryden, Texas was the hottest in the USA Thursday.
Lows this morning included 11 at Big Piney, Wyoming. That is a neat
small town nestled in a valley in West/Central Wyoming. In Alaska, the
coldest was 3 above zero at Anaktuvuk Pass.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: You would think my morning walks with
Little Miss Molly would be quiet and peaceful. Most times they are,
but I never know what to expect. This morning, as soon as we began
walking, a bird hidden in the hedgerow had hysterics. With my
imagination I assumed the bird thought he was in for a home invasion.
The bird set off loud barking from a small dog on one side of the
track. The small dog triggered barking from a big dog on the other
side of the hedgerow. Molly ignored all of that and went deep into the
hedgerow herself looking for the cat that almost ran over her earlier.
Life goes on. J. B. Elliott
