MORE CHANGES AHEAD: Clouds hung tougher than expected today holding our
temperature down by several degrees. Those clouds should break up overnight.
One of the coldest temperatures this morning was 18 in DeSoto State Park,
but most lows were in the 20s.

There is growing concern that the Alberta Clipper coming down from the NW
may tap into more Gulf moisture than we earlier thought. We have increased
our chance of rain on Saturday and we could even see a few thunderstorms. We
think the rain will be heavier than earlier expected and some parts of
Alabama could get about three-fourths of an inch or even more. A strong low
pressure area is expected to pass well to our NW on Saturday and move off
the Mid-Atlantic coast early Sunday. This will increase our SW winds
Saturday. The cold front (the Alberta Clipper) will move across Alabama
Saturday night bringing a sharp change to colder. We believe there will be
enough wrap-around moisture to possibly bring a dusting of snow on the
ridges of NE Alabama Saturday night and early Sunday and some flurries even
as far south as Central Alabama. Sunday looks like a blustery day with
temperatures staying in the 30s all day across the north half of Alabama.

INAUGURAL WEATHER: The ground was white with snow in Washington, D.C.
today-possibly 1 to 2 inches. Only flurries are expected for the big event
tomorrow, but the temperature may stay in the upper 30s.

WHAT'S IN A NAME: You have heard the mention of Alberta Clipper in the last
few days. Way back when, a meteorologist somewhere used that term describing
rapid moving disturbances that come down in the NW flow. The name stuck.
However, when I used to work the midnight shift at the NWS along with Bill
Herrmann and Ed Agre, we concocted some other names: Winnipeg Windbag, Fargo
Freight Train, Cheyenne Express, Manitoba Mauler and Dawson Dagger. Some of
those terms were used in weather summaries. We solved a lot of world
problems on the midnight shifts.

WEDNESDAY WANDERINGS: The worst of the cold air shifted into the NE...20
below zero this morning in Presque Isle and Fryeburg, Maine and 19 below at
Saranac Lake, New York after a high yesterday of only minus 5...in NE
Minnesota, where it was 54 below Monday morning at Embarrass, most
temperatures were 5 to 13 above zero this morning...56 below in Northway,
Alaska...warmest yesterday 88 in Santa Ana, California.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: The sound of woof-woof-woof awakened us
early this morning. It was none other than Miss Molly and she headed
straight to the little bell hanging on the back doorknob and whammed it
continuously. It sounded like life or death urgency. Away we went. Sitting
in the very top of the CD (Community Dog's message tree), there was a large
pot-gutted bird, maybe a self-appointed lookout. (You're supposed to know
how doggies leave "messages" on tree trunks and fire plugs.) Molly insists
sniffing all around that tree every time. After a half-mile walk, she
bounded back home for her first treat and for my fresh coffee. Life is a
pleasure. Each day is better than the day before.
