A RAINY NIGHT: Overall, it hasn't rained as much in Alabama as we
had expected so far today, although about 1 inch has fallen at a couple of
places in the extreme NW. The rain is not over. It will continue much of
tonight as a cold front approaches from the west. The rain could be heavy at
times, although we do not see any widespread unusually heavy amounts. Still
a chance that some communities could wind up with totals between 1 and 2
inches.

Since the ground is already wet from recent rains, a flash flood
watch continues for the northern part of the state, generally from
Tuscaloosa-Birmingham-Anniston northward to the Tennessee border. The cold
front to our west will reach Central Alabama after midnight. Temperatures
will fall to the low 40s after daybreak and all of the rain should be gone
by mid-morning Wednesday. Clearing will then occur paving the way for
temperatures to fall to near freezing by Thursday morning. This could be
another chance for Birmingham to reach 32 degrees for the first time this
season, which will be very late for that to happen. The good news is that we
expect dry weather for the rest of Wednesday all the way into the weekend.

HURRICANE SEASON ENDS TONIGHT: The official end of hurricane season
is at midnight tonight. Ironically, the National Hurricane Center is
interested in a low pressure area way out in the Atlantic 800 miles east of
Bermuda. It is still showing signs of tropical development and could be a
tropical or subtropical storm soon. If that happens, it will be named Otto,
the 15th of the season.

FORTY BELOW ZERO IN COLORADO: The temperature plunged to 40 below
early today at Antero Reservoir at an elevation of 8900 feet in Colorado.
That was the coldest in the entire nation today including Alaska. It was 26
below at Grant, Colorado. Even Denver had 1 below. Much of Central Colorado
has a good snow cover. There is now 55 inches of snow on the ground at the
Wolf Creek Ski area...contrasting sharply to all of that was a summer-like
92 yesterday at McAllen in South Texas.

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE NWS: The National Weather Service in both
Birmingham and Huntsville have been awarded the prestigious U. S. Department
of Commerce Bronze Medal for their work during a historic 100-year flood
event on May 6, 2003. They provided critical warning information during
cloudbursts that produced unbelievable rainfall. There were also a few
tornadoes. This is the day that 9.82 inches of rain fell in about 4 hours in
Trussville and put much of downtown under water.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: That little 8.5 pound dynamo that we
call little Miss Molly was so hyped up yesterday and last night that she
could have easily matched 5 Energizer bunnies. We took a nice walk about 9
pm with a beautiful moon forcing its way through high cirrus clouds. Moons
often have a name, like Harvest Moon or Blue Moon. Naturally, we decided
last night to name it Molly Moon. When we got back home, lots of playing. I
went to bed at 11:30 pm and about that time little Miss Molly went on a
15-minute run through the house at breakneck speed grabbing her toys and
then dumping them somewhere else only to repeat it over and over. I got up
to see what was going on and almost got run over. She is becoming a night
owl. Life goes on.
