ACTION PACKED WEATHER MAP: The old weather map looks a bit angry
this afternoon. Not only do we have strong thunderstorms developing, but we
have a sharp cold front pushing toward Alabama that will move through the
state overnight. The entire State of Alabama is under a slight risk of
severe weather. Here in the north-central part of the state, the strongest
thunderstorms may occur as a line of thunderstorms moves through overnight
in connection with the cold front. Our main threat will be damaging winds
and possible hail. This does not appear to be a major severe weather
outbreak, even though we realize that if your home is damaged, it is major.
It will turn sharply colder by morning. Winds will be shifting
toward the NW during the night, sometimes at speeds of 15-30 mph with higher
gusts. By morning, the thermometer should level off to 38 or 40 and get no
higher than the upper 40s Tuesday. The rain will be ending early Tuesday.
SOMETHING ELSE TO WATCH: Another disturbance will bring some more
rain Wednesday afternoon and night. Before that precipitation ends, it could
change over to a mix of light rain and light snow as it ends early Thursday.
Temperatures early Thursday morning will be close to the freezing mark. We
don't think there will be enough of the snow to cause any problems. We will
watch it.
LOOKING ELSEWHERE: Severe Thunderstorm Watches were already in
effect this afternoon over East Texas, West Louisiana and Southern Arkansas.
Areas further to the east may come under a watch later. We do have one
advantage. The extensive cloud cover that we have had today helps to keep
our atmosphere a little more stable. That's why we believe our chance of a
severe thunderstorm will come with forcing along a rapid-moving cold front
during the night.
MONDAY NOTES: Sure did enjoy Thursday and Friday at the Southeast
States Severe Weather Symposium at Mississippi State University. Starkville
is my kind of town. Great presentations and kudos to Derek Kinkade and staff
for putting together a great program. I wish everyone could have heard
Matthew Seals give his talk as part of James Spann's presentation. You could
have heard a pin drop. It is the first standing ovation I have noticed in
the four years I have gone. The Seals family, of course, was devastated by
the April 8, 1998 F5 tornado...as much as 5 inches of snow may accumulate
tonight in the border counties along the North Carolina-Tennessee line.
MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: My little lady, Miss Molly, sure did
miss me while I was gone. She made repeated trips through every room in the
house trying to find me. When I got back late Saturday night, even though
she was sound asleep, she went into overdrive. Since that time, she has not
let me out of her sight. I made a quick 30-second dash to get the morning
paper. Even though she was curled up on my upscale National Geographic
blanket, she immediately got up and pressed her little nose against the
front door window to make sure I wasn't leaving. Lots of playing yesterday
and last night. Makes me feel good that she misses me that much. Life goes
on.
