==================================================================
180 DEGREES: We are not talking about a temperature here. Instead, that is how our weather has changed in 24 hours. Yesterday we had one of the most extensive statewide soakings in a long, long time. A huge chunk of the state received over an inch of rain and a lot of places got over 2 inches. For many, it erased the rainfall deficit for the first half of January and gave most places about a one-half inch surplus. We have not talked surplus rain in quite some time.
Today I traveled from Trussville to Hoover and the visibility must have been 80 miles or more. Of course, we cant see that far because of the curvature of the earth, but it was sparkling cleara model spring day.
TRICKY TEMPERATURE TONIGHT: We have been using 29 for our low temperature for tonight. That still looks good, especially for some of the colder valleys mainly east and NE of Birmingham.
However, a southerly breeze may set in well before midnight and hold the temperature up, especially over the West and NW part of the state. This could be one of those nights where Valley Head may be 10 degrees cooler than Livingston, Tuscaloosa and Florence.
Mostly sunshine is the story for Thursday. Brisk southerly winds will send the temperature into the 60s. Even warmer on Friday and more showers arrive Friday night. A good chance of showers and possibly a thunderstorm on Saturday. A few of those may linger on Sunday.
A TERRIFIED INFANT: On this date in 1973, a tornado struck Cory, Louisiana. A baby was lifted from its crib and was carried airborne for a distance of 400 yards. Miraculously only minor injuries...on this date in 1973, 7 inches of snow fell across parts of North Alabama.
WACKY JANUARY: Big variations across the country. Enormous rains continue in the Pacific Northwest. The Desert Southwest remains rainless, grass fires in North Texas while up in North Dakota, Grand Forks has received only 1.6 inches of snow so far this month and January has averaged an unbelievable 18 degrees above normal.
ROAMING: A bitter 69 below zero at Ojmjakon, Siberia and the pressure has built to 31.11 inches...bitter cold in parts of Alaska, 45 below in Ft. Yukon and 44 below in Eagle...across the lower 48, the coldest this morning was an even zero at Cook, Minnesota.
MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Little Miss Molly was really subdued all day yesterday. I assume it was because I had not played with her, but when she turned down 3 treats during the day, we were afraid she was getting sick. Last night I took her for her first walk and the minute we got back inside, she started romping and playing. So I guess she was semi-pouting because of the lack of playtime the last few days. I will see that she gets caught up this afternoon and tonight. When Little Miss Molly is unhappy, her pal is unhappy and that is me! And I do not believe in being unhappy. Life goes on.
