A HUGE BOWL OF SOUP: Yesterday's drenching rain set up the perfect
conditions for widespread dense fog this morning. If you didn't enjoy
morning drive in those conditions, you had plenty of company. The fog
extended all the way from Central Florida westward into Texas and northward
into Eastern Colorado and Minnesota and northeast into Eastern Pennsylvania.
Naturally, the fog lifted across Alabama as the day went on, but the
resulting low clouds were stubborn to break up. We may see some more fog
developing again tonight and a sprinkle is not out of the question. We
should have an increasing amount of sunshine on Thursday and Friday.

OUR NEXT RAIN: As a cold front approaches late Saturday, we should see some
showers and possibly a thunderstorm. Here in Central Alabama we believe
those will occur Saturday night and early Sunday morning.

YESTERDAY'S DOWNPOUR: It seems feast or famine in our rainfall department
lately. After a long dry spell, many areas were inundated yesterday. The
largest amount we found was 6.61 inches at Hackleburg in northern Marion
County. Several roads were damaged in the area from the resulting flooding.

Not far away in the NW corner of Winston County, Haleyville got 5.95. Many
other communities received between 2 and 3 inches such as:

3.87 inches in Jasper
3.14 at Ashville

TROPICAL WEATHER: A tropical wave was 900 miles east of the Leeward Islands
this afternoon. The wind upstairs is not favorable for development.

WANDERING AROUND ON WEDNESDAY: Big snows in the mountain west...in the
mountains of Northern Utah, as much as 4 feet may accumulate above 9,000
feet before ending Thursday morning...already 26 inches has fallen at the
Alta Ski Resort...heavy snow also in the Sierra Nevada Mountains...low
temperatures this morning: 21 in Dickinson, North Dakota and 9 above in
Gulkana, Alaska.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: We were out in the soupy fog also this
morning, but traveling from Trussville across town to Hoover and Inverness.
I like a foggy morning and I think little Miss Molly does too. We took a
very early morning walk and the fog was soupy enough to pretty much hide the
upper rooms of the Old Crow Motel...otherwise, I have had to ignore little
Miss Molly for the second day in a row because of lack of time. I woke her
up very early this morning and it is so fun to watch her wake up. She is
happy as can be, even when abruptly awakened. She sticks her rear end up in
the air and her face down on the bed and stretches and yawns repeatedly.
But, she is already wagging her tail so glad to see me. Little Miss Molly
weighs less than 9 pounds, but the pound-per-pound enjoyment that we get is
immeasurable. Don't know what we'd do with a 100-pound dog if the good will
was proportional pound per pound. Life goes on in fog and sunshine. We like
it anyway we get it.
