...A Light Freeze For Tonight...

Some rain spread across South Alabama during the night while cooler, drier
air was beginning to push into the northern part of the state. With the
South Alabama rain mostly east of the area, skies will be clearing today.
Look for a light freeze tonight over much of North and Central Alabama. In
fact, some of the colder valleys in the north could have some upper 20s. A
milder trend starts Saturday afternoon.

Our weather continues to go through some rather quick changes. As another
low develops in the Gulf of Mexico, rain should spread into Central Alabama
by Sunday afternoon. It will continue off and on through Monday. Then a cold
front will move through early Tuesday bringing clearing and colder weather.

The long-range outlook is for a lot colder weather through the middle and
latter part of next week.

High temperatures Thursday afternoon were mostly in the 50s over the north
with mid 60s from Montgomery southward.

STORM ALERT 2005: There is only one more episode left. Most of the programs
have been on Thursday night, but the last one will be next Wednesday night
(March 2) at the Mountain Top Church in Vestavia.

FRIDAY NOTES: USA temperature extremes Thursday, not counting Alaska,
included 21 below zero at Saranac Lake, New York and 86 at Stuart,
Florida...snow along the mid-Atlantic states during the day in places like
Washington, Baltimore and Philadelphia. Several inches accumulated around
the nation's capitol...the NWS in Los Angeles had to issue a few severe
thunderstorm warnings Thursday, but overall their weather has quieted down
somewhat.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: You would think, since little Miss Molly walks
the same walking track every day, that it would no longer be exciting. Not
so. The minute I open the back door, her tail is swishing as fast as it can
and she is so happy. Sometimes I feel guilty making her be an inside dog,
but she is such a pleasure to have around at all hours. Life goes on.
