THREE CHEERS FOR A WARMING TREND: It is not going to last forever, however,
because another cold front will come waltzing through late Saturday night
and it will jerk the temperatures back to reality on Christmas Day.

Meanwhile, let's enjoy upper 50s tomorrow and around 60 on Saturday for
highs. The temperature may stay in the mid 40s most of Sunday.
THE PRECIPITATION STORY: Still looks like clouds will increase Saturday
with some rain starting in the afternoon and continuing most of Saturday
night. This is due to a cold front approaching from the northwest. By
Sunday, we may have to deal with a low pressure area aloft just to the north
of our area. As a result, there could be some scattered light rain still
persisting on Christmas Day-mostly during the morning.

COLDEST OF THE SEASON: That's what happened at several locations in Alabama
last night with clear skies and no wind and helped along by low dew points,
the temperature dropped to below freezing over most of the state. This time
of year the final low often does not occur until after the standard 6 am
reporting time of highs and lows. An example is Birmingham Airport where the
low was 23 up until 6 this morning but the final low was 20. Let's take a
look at some of the lows:

14 in Black Creek, the lowest since 11 last January 24
15 in Munford and Gaylesville
16 in Ft. Payne, Hartselle and Wedowee
17 in Pinson, Hueytown, Hamilton, Cottondale
18 in Heflin, Anniston and Gadsden
19 in Alabaster, Jasper and Montgomery
20 at Vinemont, Center Point, Oxford, Huntsville, Moulton, Athens,
Guntersville, Albertville and Birmingham Airport
21 in Tuscaloosa, Livingston, Fayette, Cullman
22 at Alexander City, Decatur
23 in Northport, Inverness, Rock Mills
26 in Helena, Mentone and Eutaw
27 in Selma and atop Mt. Cheaha

While we are talking about temperatures, the coldest in the lower 48 this
morning was again in Saranac Lake, New York with 9 below zero...Alaska's
coldest was 18 below at Point Lay...interesting to note that Riverside,
California had some summer-like heat yesterday with 90...in the Great Smoky
Mountains there is still 12 inches of snow on Mt. LeConte with a low of 14
this morning.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Poor Little Miss Molly. She is a nervous wreck
today. This is our designated family Christmas Day. Our family has had to do
that for many years. I worked around-the-clock shifts at the National
Weather Service for 32 years and changed days off every month. Now my son, a
fireman, has variable off days. So we simply assign a certain day to
celebrate and enjoy it just as much. With all the people here today, Little
Miss Molly has been going from nook and cranny to nook and cranny trying to
find a quiet place because of all the noise. She loves people, but not too
many at one time. She has been begging to sit on my desk while I write this
weather report, but she wants to walk across my keyboard. Blame any typos on
Molly! Life goes on, a bit hectic at times.
