CHANGEABLE WEATHER FOR ALABAMA: An approaching cold front spread some clouds
over us this morning and there was even some scattered light rain. The
rainfall amounts were very light. Fortunately, we had a quick early morning
warm up, otherwise there could have been a few icy spots.

It was actually colder this morning than yesterday morning. It dropped to 24
in Hamilton. At Munford in Talladega County and at Black Creek in Etowah
County, it was 24 with a heavy frost at both locations. It was 25 in Fayette
and DeSoto State Park and 26 in Wedowee.

Skies will be clearing tonight as more colder air moves in from the NW. Lows
tomorrow morning will be in the mid and upper 20s. Look for all sunshine
Friday, but more clouds will move in Friday night. There will be some rain
on Saturday, but mostly light rain. Our best chance of rain along with some
thunderstorms will come on Sunday. Then another big change. Sharper colder
air pours into the state Monday. The old thermometer could drop into the
upper 30s over the northern counties by afternoon. Our coldest temperatures
will be next Wednesday morning.

PESKY EPSILON: The hurricane season ended yesterday, but Epsilon has
actually grown stronger in the last 24 hours several hundred miles east of
Bermuda. It should continue moving eastward.

INTERESTING UPCOMING WEATHER: A huge high pressure system as strong as 1046
milibars will be settling down over the northern states during the next few
days. Look for some increasingly cold temperatures with this system. A 1046
high is very strong, more akin to mid-winter. This morning the temperature
drooped to 16 below zero at Mud Lake and 22 below at the Point 6 Radar
Site-both in Montana. It was 12 below in Browning. McCarthy, Alaska had 38
below.

DID YOU KNOW?: that Browning, Montana where it was 12 below this morning
once saw the old thermometer plunge 100 degrees in 24 hours. That is a U. S.
record. I have seen the temperature drop as much as 65 degrees in 24 hours
here in Alabama, but can you imagine a 100-degree drop? Browning is located
in NW Montana on U. S. 89 east of Glacier National Park. Population, 1,000.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: It is one of those rare Molly-free days at our
house. The little girl was shipped off to the PBS (Puppy Beauty Shop) this
morning to get updated on all of her shots and to get a haircut. Her facial
hair had gotten so long that she had to peep out through some facial hair to
see where she was going. She was way overdue. That little girl simply does
not like automobiles. As soon as we put her in the car, she started shaking
like a leaf. Instead of having a more relaxing day, I missed her
tremendously only 30 minutes after she left. She is so ingrained into my
life that I need to see her every few minutes. We will have a great play
session when she gets home this afternoon. Life goes on.
