...A not so pleasant Weekend...

Temperatures soared well into the 70s across Alabama Friday-some 15 degrees
too warm for mid February. It got all the way up to 78 in Montgomery. It was
75 in Tuscaloosa and Anniston and 74 in Birmingham.

Meanwhile, we have been watching a large match of cold air bulging southward
from Canada and the Northern USA. Early this morning, the colder air was
beginning to spread into Alabama. For the most part, our temperatures will
be falling today with early morning temperatures being the warmest of the
day.

A line of thunderstorms preceded the cold front late Thursday, but this
morning it is mostly showers.

WINTRY PRECIPITATION? There is a chance. We expect it to be cold enough for
a mix of light freezing rain and sleet as far south as Central Alabama over
the weekend, mainly Saturday into Sunday morning. There is a chance that it
will be significant enough to cause some travel problems. That is not sealed
in stone yet. We will be able to get a better handle on that later today. In
any event, today's precipitation should be all rain. Winter Storm Watches
are posted for parts of Northern Mississippi and West Tennessee. We will
watch it closely all day today.

MISCELLANEOUS NOTES: A summer-like 91 in Laredo, Texas Thursday was equal
to the normal high that Birmingham experiences in July. It dropped to 31
below zero at Embarrass in Northern Minnesota. There were big temperature
drops in the central part of the country as the cold air moved through. In
Dallas/Ft. Worth it was in the mid 80s Thursday afternoon, but quickly
dropped into the 40s.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Out walking several times with Little Miss
Molly yesterday. It was definitely short-sleeve weather and she enjoyed it
to the fullest. Only thing, she wanted to stay out forever. Even last night
it was comfortable during an 8:00 p.m. walk...I will be busy watching the
weather today, but I am going to try to catch up on playtime with Molly.
