Thursday (High 85, Low 60): Sunny. Patchy fog possible in the morning.
Friday (High 86, Low 61): Sunny.

At 2:15 PM skies are partly cloudy in Cullman. The temperature is 81 degrees. The dewpoint is 66 degrees, making the relative humidity 62%. Winds are variable, generally been out of the South and East, currently sustained at only 3 miles per hour. The pressure is 30.04 inches and falling slowly at the moment.
This morning's Low was 70. We still had that humid airmass around.
Now tonight, we could end up with some fog in some of the river valleys and places like Bankhead Forest. And actually each night we could see some patchy fog because of all the recent rain still being in the soil.
Looks like through the next three days, so through Thursday, we'll have a High in the 83-85 degree range under sunny skies. The Low will be near 60, probably upper 50's for a lot of us. The high pressure is going to win out in our region, even if the Carolinas and some other places like Georgia and Florida up farther North into New England end up getting some rain during this forecast period.
Beyond that, in the extended period, looks like sunny conditions continue on Friday and Saturday with Highs actually making it into the upper 80's again, Lows around 60 or so.
Then Sunday and Monday, we'll see a few clouds coming back, not expecting any rain, Highs more toward the mid-80's and Lows more toward the mid-60's.
The tropics are a little active but more bark than bite.
This low pressure system off the Carolina coast has prompted a Tropical Storm Warning for the coasts of North and South Carolina. But if it was up to me, I think it would have only been a Tropical Storm Watch. This thing might not even develop to a tropical depression before it comes inland.
Tropical Depression Gordon is staying well out in the Tropical Atlantic, looks like it will strengthen back to a tropical storm later this week and move generally North/Northeast.
And to keep it simple, we don't expect any more rain around here in a while. Even in Tennessee counties over the next seven days, amounts should stay light and spotty. Really model trends and the way our climate usually goes make it look like we'll stay mostly or all dry through the rest of this month.
And I don't even know what to say about the general news in the past 24-48 hours. Looks like some fool tried to shoot Donald Trump again, this time at a golf course, and as with the first time, this wasn't done by a Haitian immigrant or any of these other boogeymen we're supposed to be so scared of these days. I don't think this Caucasian dude was even wearing a Judas Priest or Black Sabbath T-shirt. At what point do we all have to admit these stereotypes are bogus and that not much is being done about the real problems . . . and I question how much I should comment on this stuff at all sometimes. Because Elon Musk sure could have kept his mouth shut, instead of joking around about how nobody had taken a shot at the other candidate yet. Some of this stuff lately is in far worse taste than when we see a streaker try to get some attention on the Weather Channel. Somehow in the midst of all the serious drama, Taylor Swift got roped in to everything. So I'll try to take her sage advice from back when one of my cousins was really into her and was under the impression that her real name was "Taylor Swiffer".
Okay, but seriously, thanks for reading, hope you like the nicer weather here as we're going to have the autumn equinox this coming Sunday, and I guess try to keep your heads together . . . or you know, just shake it off . . . shake it off . . . or go out and buy a swiffer . . . I've heard that they are good for mopping. And every woman I've ever talked to has said that my mopping skills could use some improvement. Actually they were nowhere near as kind as that in their assessments. But a swiffer is a terrible thing to waste. And so is a life. So I hope the rest of you find something better to do than Elon Musk or the conspiracy theorists. Until I make myself useful in the offline world today, I will amuse myself thinking of what tirades Donald Trump would go into if I ever cleaned his mansion. Or the shock and awe that Taylor Swift would express at how I could spend an hour with a mop and accomplish so little.
And that's because this is a volunteer blog. If you want an argument out of me today, you're gonna' have to pay for it.
One thing I'd definitely recommend you check out that's free is one of the SKYWARN classes that are being offered by the National Weather Service offices in Birmingham and Nashville. We sometimes have a secondary severe weather season in North Alabama and Southern Middle Tennessee. The timing can vary a little from year to year, but usually it's in November. So it is a good time to brush up on severe weather awareness. When the weather looks nice and peaceful for a good long while.
