WARMER AFTERNOONS: You would think by looking outdoors that this is
the easiest forecast we have had in a long, long time. Not necessarily true.
It is an easy forecast weather wise, but not on the old thermometer. The
reason is much warmer air not far off the ground which could mix down to the
ground and ruin our high temperature forecast. Indeed, one of our most
trusted weather models (ugh) is calling for a high of 92 Wednesday. We do
not believe that will happen, but it is not totally out of the question. We
think it will be more like 86. We will still have some fairly cool nights,
but not as cool as last night.

Down the road we look for a cold front to approach this area early
Saturday. This could set off a few showers late in the day Friday or Friday
night and extending into early Saturday. It does not look like a big rain
event at all and most communities could remain dry.

THE NICE MORNING CHILL: I was out walking before daylight and it
sure did feel good. It was the coolest morning since last spring over most
of the state. In NE Alabama at Black Creek in Etowah County, the first light
frost of the season covering about 40 percent of the ground. That was also
one of the coolest spots in the state. Let's look at some selected lows:

36 at Black Creek and Hartselle
37 at Ft. Payne, Munford, Hamilton, Meridianville
38 in Pinson and Oak Grove (Jefferson County)
39 in Anniston, Huntsville, Gadsden, De Soto St. Park
40 in Moulton, Madison, Wedowee, Helena, Jasper
43 in Birmingham, Tuscaloosa, Livingston, Wadley
44 in Montgomery, Inverness, Guntersville

TROPICAL WEATHER: Here we are with another named tropical storm
which ties the record set in 1933 and using the last name on the list for
the 2005 season. If another one forms, the NHC will resort to the Greek
alphabet and name it Alpha.

It is early in the game and the future path of Tropical Storm Wilma
is not sealed in concrete. The NHC says that early guidance on this one is
unusually uncertain. This afternoon, Wilma was moving slowly but gaining
strength and was centered about 235 miles SSE of Grand Cayman. She drifted
south during the morning, but should gradually turn west. The official track
forecast brings the center to near the NE tip of the Yucatan Peninsula by
late Friday and into the Southern Gulf by Saturday. Most opinions are that
the northern Gulf Coast (NW Florida to Louisiana) should not be affected.
Could be a Florida Peninsula event. Remember, not certain! She should be a
hurricane by tomorrow..

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Might as well put one of those
electronic ankle braces on me and give Little Miss Molly the monitor. She
has followed me like a shadow since I got home late yesterday after being
gone most of two days. I may have to move the coffee pot in my office
because every time I go for a fresh cup, she ambushes me with her favorite
ball already in her mouth ready to play...I sure had a great time Sunday at
Havana Methodist Church in Hale County. That is the church that my sister
and I used to walk to each Sunday from Havana Junction two miles away.
Yesterday was "homecoming" and I saw some old friends that I had not seen in
50 years. Ran into some real Miss Molly fans including Marion Hallmark and
Charlotte Barton from Tuscaloosa. Mary Ann and Ed Avery also big Molly fans.
Have known them from way back. Some of the greatest people on earth in that
part of the world. Life goes on regardless of how much I play with Molly!
