COLDEST OF SEASON NEXT WEEK: We are going to have a warm up of sorts
extending into the weekend, but we must mention what appears to be the
coldest weather so far this season starting Monday. More about that later. A
few of the coldest temperatures this morning:

24 on Lookout Mountain at Fort Payne
25 in Muscle Shoals
26 in Pinson, Moulton, Athens
27 in Alabaster, Gadsden, Leeds, Decatur
28 in Huntsville, Fort Payne, Anniston
29 in Tuscaloosa and Birmingham

With clear skies and little or no wind, temperatures will again fall to near
freezing tonight. This afternoon some parts of North Alabama were still in
the 40s. Thursday's highs should be 55 to 58. Another cold front will move
in later Thursday. By Friday morning, we may see some upper 20s again.
The main change will come over the weekend. Clouds will move in Saturday
with a chance of rain. The better chance of showers and maybe a thunderstorm
will be on Sunday. Weekend highs will be in the mid 60s. After that, the big
change.

Much colder air will spread in from the NW beginning on Monday and there may
be some lingering precipitation in that colder air. Daytime temperatures
could fall into the 30s later Monday and it is not out of the question to
see a few flurries. That is still a long way down the road to be certain on
that. Evidence indicates that low temperatures Tuesday morning could be down
around the 20-degree mark in some places. Stay tuned.

HURRICANE SEASON ENDS: It officially ends at midnight tonight. Shall we all
go outside and dance in the streets? What a horrible season. There were 13
hurricanes in 2005, including 3 that reached Category 5. Hurricane Wilma
produced an extremely low pressure of 882 millibars-a record for the
Atlantic Basin. Even though this is the last day of the season, we still
have Tropical Storm Epsilon over 600 miles east of Bermuda and growing
stronger. It should curve back to the NE a long time before getting to
Bermuda.

DID YOU KNOW?: that President Harry S. Truman had such an avid interest in
the weather that he had standing orders for the U. S. Weather Bureau to have
a fresh hands-on weather map on his desk each morning by the time he got to
the oval office. Back in those days there were no facsimile-transmitted
weather maps. Each weather office drew their own. Today, we would call him a
"weather geek."

RAMBLING: 39 below zero this morning in Tok, Alaska where there was 18
inches of snow on the ground...in the lower 48, minus 2 at Grand Forks,
North Dakota.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Much, much loving and cuddling with my Little
Miss Molly on the couch last night interspersed with ball games. We spent
hours together since we had missed so much playtime. She has some weird
habits. After playing a lot, she curled up on her blanket on the couch, but
at 10:12 p.m. she suddenly woke up and went into one of those explosive
energy bursts where she ran all through the house at breakneck speed,
bouncing off the back of the couch, running across the room to another soft
chair and using it like a trampoline. After 5 minutes of that, she crawled
back up on the couch and was sound asleep in 45 seconds. She was passed out
for the rest of the night. Life goes on.
