THE ALABAMA STORY: It is a story of unseasonably mild
temperatures-a great contrast to last week. We do not see any major change
to colder in the near future. Temperatures will top out in the 60s at least
into early next week. Highs beginning tomorrow will be in the 65 to 67
degree range through Sunday. Not bad at all.

The cold air was still trapped in some NE Alabama valleys this
morning. Look at this interesting range of low temperatures:

27 in Ft. Payne and DeSoto State Park
28 in Pinson
29 in Anniston and Trussville
35 in Birmingham
41 in Cullman and Muscle Shoals

OUR NEXT CHANCE OF RAIN: While we may see a few showers showing up
on Saturday, it appears that our best chance of showers will be late Sunday,
Sunday night and Monday. See our day-by-day forecast.

TOP WEATHER STORIES OF 2004: Bill Murray is doing a series of the
20 top weather stories nationally during 2004. He is also going to include
the top stories in Alabama with Hurricane Ivan obviously the number one.

FOOTBALL WEATHER: In Nashville for the Music City Bowl Friday when
Alabama meets Minnesota, it should be comfortable with about 58 degrees at
kickoff and a high of 62 during the game. There is about a 1 in 3 chance of
a shower. In New Orleans for the Sugar Bowl game between Auburn and Virginia
Tech in the Louisiana Superdome, the outside weather will be mild with highs
near 70 and a chance of showers.

LOOKING IN THE DEEP FREEZE: A selection of low temperatures this
morning:

1 above zero at Wolf Point, Montana
45 below at Arctic Village, Alaska
39 below at Bettles, Alaska (32 inches of snow)
39 below at Old Crow, Yukon
44 below at Dawson, Yukon (Big 1044 MB high)
69 below at Ojmjakon, Siberia

THE WEST IS IN A MESS: Downtown Los Angeles has received 6.37
inches of rain from the current major storm system, including 5.19 inches in
the last 24 hours. San Diego got 2.79 inches along with severe thunderstorms
in the area. 10.50 inches of rain has fallen at Forest Falls in San
Bernardino County and 14.69 inches at Matilija Canyon. Even Las Vegas had
flash flooding. The outlook is for a whole lot more precipitation, including
snow by the foot in the Sierra Nevada Mountains.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Little Miss Molly has certainly gotten
over her Christmas fatigue. She has been piling up toys in the floor trying
to waylay me into a ballgame with her. We had a vigorous play session at
midnight just before bedtime and she was pooped again. Sure have done a lot
of cuddling with her in the last 24 hours...last week I mentioned that Molly
was born in Layton, Utah. Soon thereafter I received a nice e-mail from
Layton. It is good to know that we have people in Northern Utah reading our
material. However, I deleted the Layton e-mail by mistake. I wish the
gentleman would contact me again. Life goes on, and I hope on and on and on!
