WIDESPREAD RAIN TONIGHT: Rain will spread into West Alabama later this
afternoon and become widespread across the state tonight along with a few
thunderstorms. Most of the thunderstorms will be over the southern half of
the state where there is a slight risk of severe weather from about the
Demopolis-Selma-Montgomery-Phenix City area southward.

Meanwhile, colder air will be spilling into the northern part of the state
overnight and by morning you will feel a distinct chill in the air. For some
parts of North Alabama, the thermometer will struggle to get above 40
Saturday. Most of the rain will be out of here by Saturday morning, but some
lingering light rain over the north could briefly change over to snow
flurries before ending. No problems anticipated. Still looks like Sunday
morning will be the coldest and we are sticking to our original 25-degree
low that we have been forecasting for several days.

While Sunday will be mostly sunny, another quick turnaround for Monday as
showers arrive again followed by another change to colder Monday night. Some
parts of the upper south may have to watch very closely for the possibility
of accumulating snow with the Monday system.

SUPER BOWL WEATHER: Of course the game is played indoors, but in Detroit a
significant snow event will occur late Saturday and Saturday night with 5 to
8 inches of snow accumulating. Snow showers will continue on Sunday. It will
be windy with a high only about 29.

BITTER, BITTER COLD: Don't know how many adjectives we need to describe it,
but the temperature fell to 61 below zero this morning at Chandalar Lake,
Alaska with an amazing wind chill of 86 below! In Deadhorse, it was 54
below. Barrow had a wind chill of 78 below.

SCANNING THE HORIZON: Skipping around everywhere...how about 94 for a high
in Harlingen, Texas yesterday? That is 3 degrees hotter than Birmingham's
normal high in July...it was 8 below zero this morning in Thief River Falls,
Minnesota...significant flash flooding in St. Petersburg-Tampa this morning
where 3 inches of rain fell in just a few hours...another monster of a storm
moving in on the Pacific Northwest and south winds may gust as high as 100
mph near the Oregon coast and 65 mph along the Interstate 5 corridor...also,
tons of new snow in the high country where the snow pack is already
enormous.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Little Miss Molly does not know that when I
spend quite a bit of time in my weather office, that I am working.
Periodically during the day, she will poke that little tiny nose in the door
and look at me as if I am trying to avoid playing with her. She has that
wistful look in her eye with her tail wagging ever so slowly. I try not to
look at her, because I melt...very nice walk this morning and we met some
new neighbors who had never seen Molly before. Molly reacted to them like
they were long lost friends. They had a real love session with her in the
middle of the walking track. That little ambassador did it again. I sure am
glad that Molly is not a salesdog trying to sell me something. I would go
broke. Life goes on rain or shine, storms or sun.
