STORM ALERT 2006: The first edition kicks off tonight at 7 o'clock at the
Bevill State Community College at Hamilton in NW Alabama. Be sure and show
up early if you want a good seat. The entire ABC 33/40 weather team will be
there to meet you and the program is varied and very interesting.

THE ALABAMA STORY: It is a weather story of more changes which will also
include some very cold temperatures over the weekend.
Showers and some thunderstorms spread eastward quickly across a good part of
the state today. Mobile got some of the heaviest rain-well over 1 inch.
Tuscaloosa received about 2/3 of an inch. Most of the showers had diminished
this afternoon, but there is still a risk of some more showers tonight
especially through the evening.

Much of Friday will be dry, but there may be some more showers at some point
during the afternoon and especially Friday night.

THE COLDER WEEKEND: Windy and much colder weather is expected Saturday with
temperatures hanging around in the 40s most of the day. In fact, it could
drop into the upper 30s over NE Alabama before the day is over. Scattered
light rain will still be hanging around during the morning and there could
even be a few snow flurries up over NE Alabama. No problems expected.

TORNADO IN NEW ORLEANS: If there is any place in the world that did not
need a tornado, it was New Orleans. However, they had two in the area early
this morning. A number of Katrina-damaged buildings were damaged even more
or destroyed. One of the tornadoes touched down on the main New Orleans
Airport causing considerable damage. The official weather observer on the
site witnessed the funnel cloud.

HITHER AND YON-MOSTLY YON: There are so many snow fans in Alabama that we
want to give them some snow depths this morning just to tease them: 100
inches in Farmington Canyon, Utah; 123 inches at Alta, Utah; 76 inches at
Coldfoot, Alaska (I love that name); 52 inches at Never Summer, Colorado at
an elevation of 10,280 feet. Another great name.

FOOTBALL WEATHER: For the Super Bowl in Detroit Sunday, it looks like a cold
blustery time. There will be occasional snow showers throughout the weekend.
The low Sunday 22 with a high of 30.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Out walking Little Miss Molly saw something
interesting. Mr. Earthworm was moseying down the walking track going the
same way we were going. Little Miss Molly almost stepped on him, but she was
so busy looking for her wanna-be husband, Jo-Jo, that she didn't see
him...does that lone worm mean that spring is just around the corner? How
about azaleas blooming in Houston already!...that photograph on the front
page of the Birmingham News this morning really got to me. I asked the
co-owner of Little Miss Molly if we cold call the Homewood shelter and adopt
the little puppy. Hope you saw the picture. It is devastating to know that
so many dogs and cats get euthanized, but I agree that is the best course of
action if people don't care enough to have their pets spayed and neutered.
It is a touching and sober story. Hope everyone will see it and love their
pets even more. Life goes on and we sure do love having Miss Molly along for
the ride.
