...More Sunny, Dry Weather...

WE HAVE NO COMPLAINTS: About the weather, that is. We feel like 99.99
percent of Alabamians are glad to see this weather after long bouts
with wet weather over the last several months. We may be wrong on that
estimate, because we do have a core audience that never gets tired of
daytime temperatures above 90. Count me out of that group, because my
ideal low and high each day would be 36/66 if I had control of the
weather.

Our five-day forecast is a bit unusual, because it uses only one word
each day all the way through Saturday. That word is sunny. Nights will
be clear and cool. We just had a full moon and when I was still in the
National Weather Service, one night I came very close to issuing a
forecast that said: for tonight mostly moony and cool. Fortunately I
changed my mind because that would have brought a rash of negative
reaction.

Our nights will still be cool, but afternoons comfortable with low
humidity and bright sunshine. A big plus to this type autumn weather
is the great visibility. Little or no haze and it seems like you could
see 50 miles or more if we had some mountains high enough to see that
far. We should get another surge of cooler air about Thursday and that
could give us some low temperatures Friday morning in the upper 30s
with some scattered frost in the normally colder pockets.

FOOTBALL WEATHER: We are jumping the gun a bit, but it looks like
ideal weather for the high school play off games Friday night. It also
looks great for in state college games on Saturday with most highs in
the lower 70s. We will start a specific football forecast in the
Thursday morning editions.

TROPICAL WEATHER: Would you believe that we have an interesting
little tropical situation? The disturbance is pressing right up
against the east coast of Costa Rica, but it shows some promise of
development. It is expected to move little over the next day or so.
The wind upstairs has become favorable for continued development. The
NHC thinks there is a decent chance that it could become a tropical
cyclone during the next two days. It will spread heavy rain over parts
of Panama, Costa Rica, Nicaragua and Honduras. There does not seem
much chance for this nervous weather area to get into the Gulf of
Mexico, although not impossible. Sea surface temperatures in the Gulf
have cooled somewhat, which would be a negative. The water temperature
in the Middle Gulf is 81. It is only 78 135 miles south of Pensacola
and 71 about 30 miles south of the Mississippi coast.

THE WORLD OF WEATHER: Gradually getting colder and colder in Alaska.
It was 22 below zero this morning at Circle Hot Springs with an 8-inch
snow cover. Dry Creek, Alaska has 12 inches of snow. It was 23 below
zero in Arctic Village. Way down here, where 48 states are close
neighbors, it was 14 at Kremmling, Colorado. Shreveport has received
54 inches of rain this year—a foot above average. In NE Alabama,
Scrougeout has received 70.07 inches of rain so far this year and
85.43 during the last 12 months.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: The autumn foliage is getting prettier
and prettier all along the walking track, which is one-half mile long
and one that Little Miss Molly thinks she owns. I still have not taken
a drive up Washington Valley in St. Clair County where the color is
always awesome. Yesterday afternoon at the far end of the walking
track, little Dino and his grandpa slipped up on us and it was a wild
play session all the way back down the track. Dino and Molly chased
each other in circles, reverses and constant entangling the leashes.
They had fun. It was a wild time for us. Life goes on.
