🥵🍂 MORNIN’ Y’ALL! 🍂🥵

Here’s your east central Alabama weather for 11/2/26! 👩🏻‍🦰

☁️ Mostly cloudy today with winds 5–10 mph and gusts up to 20 mph possible. Highs in the upper 70s. YEP! It’s NOVEMBER, MAW NATURE! NOVEMBER!! Somebody needs to take her calendar away! 😡😂

🌙 Tonight, mostly cloudy with winds 5–10 mph, gusts up to 20 mph possible, and lows in the upper 50s.

Y’all, Maw is OFF HER MEDS AGAIN! She’s completely forgotten it’s Fall, AND to add insult to injury, she shortchanged us on that rain yesterday! We were promised more than that, ma’am! 🙄😒

🌧️ WE’RE WATCHING THE NEXT SYSTEM! Warm temps will stick around most of the week, but we’re keeping our eyes on a storm system bringing rain and thunderstorms Tuesday night through Wednesday night.

So, keep those weather apps handy and stay weather aware!

In the meantime, somebody pass me a fan because apparently we’re celebrating November like it’s May! 🥵😂

Have a blessed day, y’all! 💕

Good morning, friends! ☀️☕❤️

At my age, bending over requires a warm-up and a little prayer! 😂

Anything I drop before coffee can stay there until my knees loosen up enough to let me retrieve it without filing a pain complaint! 🤣

Who else has this rule? ☕

Follow Cranky Moose! 🫎❤️

🍂🌧️ MORNIN’ Y’ALL & HAPPY NOVEMBER!! 🌧️🍂

Here’s your east central Alabama weather for 11/1/26! 👩🏻‍🦰☔️

WHEW, CHILD! We survived October, Mother Nature’s temperature roller coaster, AND her apparent inability to find the rain faucet! 😂🙌🏻 But looky here… November has decided to show up with some much-needed RAIN! Hallelujah!

🌧️ Cloudy today with a 60% chance of rain/showers. Winds 10–15 mph with gusts up to 25 mph possible. Highs in the mid 60s.

☁️ Rain will taper off this evening, leaving us with cloudy skies and a 20% chance of showers. Winds 5–10 mph, gusts up to 25 mph possible, and lows in the low 50s.

🙄 Now, before we get too comfortable, Maw Nature is already acting up again! Highs this week are headed back into the mid to upper 70s, with another chance of rain Wednesday. GIRL, PICK A SEASON AND STICK WITH IT! 😂

Enjoy that rain and cooler air while we have it, y’all! You know Maw Nature can’t be trusted to behave for long! 🤣🍁

Have a blessed day! 💕
