...Dry Today But Wet Saturday...

On Thursday, the old thermometer reached 80 in a number of South Alabama
locations. Yesterday it was about 12 to 15 degrees cooler. We expect a
milder day today with afternoon temperatures reaching the 60s in most areas.
There will be some high clouds across the area at times, but quite a bit of
sunshine. Clouds will increase tonight paving the way for more rain on
Saturday.

The southern branch of the jet stream remains active bringing occasional
disturbances across the USA. Rain should become rather extensive across the
state on Saturday with heavier amounts over the central and south. Places
near the coast may get well over an inch along with some scattered
thunderstorms. Here in North-Central Alabama, we could still get 1/2 to 1
inch of rain and it will be steady at times. Sunshine returns on Sunday and
Monday should also be dry.

ELSEWHERE: Today will be the 129th consecutive day with no rain in
Phoenix...they broke the all-time record a long time ago...88 in West
Kendall and Stuart, Florida was the warmest in the nation Thursday...coldest
was 14 below zero SW of Gunnison, Colorado where there is 12 inches of snow
on the ground...just for the fun of it, let's check Pago Pago out in the
Pacific. They have received 29 inches of rain in the last 3 weeks, over 52
inches so far in 2006 and 77 inches in less than 3 months.

SEVERE WEATHER: The final edition of Storm Alert 2006 will be next Tuesday
night in Northport. Be sure and get there early!

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Never ever know what to expect when I walk out
the door with Little Miss Molly. Wednesday night she and I went out the
front door in a steady rain for her to have a quick bathroom break. I was
not fully out the door when she jerked me into a crepe myrtle bush and I
almost fell. I also almost dropped the leash. It seems that a small rabbit
was crouched in the shrubbery under the eave of our house. I didn't know it
until I saw his little white cottontail zooming across our driveway like a
rocket launch at Cape Canaveral. Molly literally went beserk. I finally got
her under control and she spent the next 3 minutes retracing his tracks.
Life goes on.
