STORMS LEAVING, TURNING COLDER: It was a stormy morning and early afternoon
across Alabama. Severe thunderstorm watches and tornado watches at various
times covered most of the state. There were a number of damage reports.
Probably the worst damage was at Haleyville about 70 miles NW of Birmingham
in Winston County. Store fronts were blown out along Highway 13 in the area
and trees and power lines were down. There were also reports of homes and
apartments damaged in the Tuscaloosa area. Other wind damage occurred in
Lamar and Marion Counties. It appears that some of the heavier rain, based
on radar estimates, was up to 2 inches in parts of Lamar, Marion, Winston
and Fayette Counties.

Now we can look forward to some quieter weather. Cooler air moved in behind
the storms, but a cold front will be moving across the state tonight. The
leftover rain will gradually end before morning. It will be clearing, breezy
and colder tomorrow. After that, look for more dry weather at least through
the early part of next week with lows in the upper 20s and near 30 for
Saturday through Monday and highs in the low 50s.

FOCUS ON WOLF POINT: We chose that town, out on the plains of NE Montana on
US Route 2, as an example of how bitter cold it's going to get over the
northern USA. They are expecting lows around 35 below zero tonight and
Friday night, with Friday's high 20 below, but the wind chill tomorrow may
approach 55 below. That weather is typical across the Dakotas into
Minnesota.

THE GREAT NORTHWEST DEEP FREEZE: It just sits up there-a huge blob of
bitter cold arctic air and the pressure keeps rising. Occasionally, segments
of the cold air will break away and move south. We are keeping a wary eye in
case the overall weather pattern changes and permits a massive invasion into
the USA and even into the Deep South. We don't see that now. The temperature
is a bitter 62 below zero at Mayo in the Yukon Territory of NW Canada and
the pressure has risen to over 31 inches. It was 59 below in Northway,
Alaska. Coldest in the lower 48 this morning was 28 below at Opheim,
Montana...just to balance the story, the warmest in the USA Wednesday was 84
at Alice and McAllen, Texas.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Poor little Miss Molly. Very little play time
with me again...when I got home from church last night, I have never seen
her so glad to see me...did not get in bed until after midnight, so there
was another midnight walk with her...today she has been semi-hiding because
of weather radio alarms going off and me busy doing so many radio
broadcasts...I may have left a false impression that Molly was not doing
well because she was sleeping so much. She is fine and healthy. She is
sleeping so much in the day and sleeping late each morning, because we keep
her up too late...I hope to have a big doggie baseball game with her this
afternoon. Life goes on, work or play, rain or shine.
