RAIN BY LATE IN THE WEEKEND: Enjoy today and Saturday because we go back
into wet weather Sunday and Monday. Skies cleared overnight and temperatures
dropped to near freezing over the north this morning. A few of the colder
spots included 30 in Jasper, 31 in Fayette, 32 in Cullman, 33 in Birmingham
and 34 in Pinson and Huntsville.

We should have quite a bit of sunshine Saturday, but clouds will roll back
in for Sunday. Another low pressure system is going to form over the Gulf of
Mexico moving into SW Alabama by nightfall Sunday and across the central
part of the state by Monday morning. Rain should reach Central Alabama by
late morning or midday Sunday and become more widespread later Sunday and
Sunday night. Most communities should get between 1/2 and 3/4 of an inch of
rain. Meanwhile, colder air will spill in behind the low Monday night.
Tuesday should be dry with breezy and colder weather with highs in the upper
40s or low 50s. See our day-by-day forecast for all of the details.

CLEANING OUT MY NOTEBOOK: The Atlantic Seaboard and NE got a good dose of
snowfall from this latest storm. The snow was winding down over New England
early today. An average of 4 to 6 inches fell across Connecticut. In
Massachusetts, as much as 11 inches accumulated in Plymouth and Barnstable
Counties with 9 inches around Hyannis and 8 inches at Boston's Logan
Airport...warm spot yesterday was Devil's Garden in South Florida with
87...coldest in the lower 48 this morning, for the second day in a row, was
at Saranac Lake in Upstate New York with 13 below. Coldest in Alaska was 20
below at Cape Lisburne...in 1934 on this date, at least 6 tornadoes struck
in Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia killing 19 persons...hardest hit was
Bowden, Georgia and Shady Grove, Alabama. One home in Lauderdale County,
Mississippi, was picked up, thrown 400 feet and blown to bits killing 6
family members.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Little Miss Molly slept through her normal
late night walk. When she got up this morning, she really needed to go. It
was Code Red. No waiting. She really whammed that little bell like a
professional boxer. I had to put my shoes on and she stood on her hind legs,
put her paws on my knee and nodded her head toward the back door. No
kidding. As soon as we were on the walking trail, she stuck her head in the
underbrush looking for her friend, Jo-Jo. I didn't see it and Molly didn't
see it, but there was a bird walking around on the ground in the underbrush
inches from Molly. The bird flew out making a loud fluttering noise and I
thought Molly would have a heart attack. She bolted for home, but I avoided
whiplash...nice email from a reader who has a yellow lab named A. J. who
really knows how to enjoy everything in life. The lady shared today's saying
from her Lab-a-Day desk calendar, "Dogs are God's way of showing us how to
be happy." I agree...and life goes on.
