MUCH COLDER BY THE WEEKEND: But before then we have some more big changes
in the weather and some of those changes are not sealed in stone. Clouds
will increase tonight with a few showers reaching West Alabama before
daybreak. Here in Central Alabama, rain will become more widespread during
the day Thursday and we could also have a thunderstorm. The rain should
taper off Thursday night. Friday should give us a break from a lot of rain,
but we will still have a chance of a few showers and maybe even a
thunderstorm increasing again Friday night. Extreme South Alabama may be
under a slight risk of severe weather during this timeframe.

Much colder air will start pouring into the area late Friday night and
Saturday. We are using 43 for a high, but the temperature may be actually
falling, especially during the afternoon. Part of Saturday will be wet, but
the rain will gradually end late in the day or during the evening. The rain
could change over to snow flurries or light snow before ending. This is
especially true up over the northern counties where it is not out of the
question for a dusting of snow on some of the ridges.

However, this all depends on the path of a low pressure area that we think
will track across South and Central Alabama during the day Saturday.
Finally, we should have sunshine on Sunday with lows in the mid 20s. Some of
the colder valleys could be in the low 20s.

WEATHER NOTEBOOK: 83 at McAllen and Ft. Stockton, Texas was the warmest
yesterday...lows this morning were near zero at Gunnison, Colorado and 47
below
zero at Point Lay, Alaska...at Birmingham Airport, the month of January
averaged over 8 degrees per day warmer than normal. Amazingly 19 days had
highs 60 or better and 5 days had 70 or warmer...if we do not get some much
colder weather in February, we could have a big invasion of bugs...Phoenix
completed 105 days in a row without a drop of rain yesterday. The official
forecast does not mention any rain at all for the next 7 days.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: I get a lot of e-mails about Little Miss Molly
and they are all appreciated. Saundra and Buddy Ingram in Marion gave me
permission to use their story of owning 10 dogs and 2 cats. Saundra tells me
that "most are rescues of one sort or another. Several were found along the
roads and others were given to us or were from the SPCA or other shelters.
Our oldest dog is 14 or 15. Our oldest cat is 16. All are spayed/neutered.
We rescued our youngest dog from the side of the road this past summer and
he should be a little over one-year old now." Saundra says she wished others
would take care of their animals like they do. She said if even 80% of the
population that owned pets would spay/neuter, we would have no over
population. The Ingrams truly love their animals and they are like children.
Thanks to the Ingrams for letting me use their story. Life goes on.
