...Soaking Rain Today; Sunshine Sunday...

Looks like a wet Saturday across Alabama as rain continues to spread into
the state from the west and SW. Look for rumbles of thunder also over about
the southern third of the state today, but we do not foresee a severe
weather threat.

Some of the rivers are already high in SW Alabama and today's rain may
affect that some. By far, the heaviest rain should occur over the south half
of the state where many communities will get between 2 and 2.50 inches. The
amount of rain will taper off as you go northward. We may see about 8/10 of
an inch in the Tuscaloosa-Birmingham-Anniston areas. Up near the Tennessee
border the amounts will be much less.

Cooler air will start spilling into the state behind this rain event. This
should bring clearing skies by early Sunday. Then dry weather will continue
into the middle of next week. Our coldest temperatures should be early
Monday morning with upper 20s. Some of the colder valleys may be a few
degrees lower. Look for the old thermometer to bounce back to around 70 by
Wednesday.

Clouds were in and out across Alabama Friday, but afternoon temperatures
were comfortable. There was a high of 70 in Montgomery and Mobile, 68 in
Tuscaloosa, 67 in Anniston and Birmingham and 64 in Huntsville. A thick
cloud layer and rain will keep the highs in the 50s today.

ELSEWHERE: Friday extremes across the 50 states included a high of 85 in
Ft. Myers, Fla. and lows of 18 below zero in Embarrass, Minnesota and a
bitter cold 51 below in Chandalar Lake, Alaska.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: An exciting Friday afternoon walk with my
little 9-pound pal better known as Miss Molly. We were halfway up the
walking track and this large dog, about 70 pounds that always wants to play
with Molly, came racing down the track at breakneck speed. He means no harm,
but he is so aggressive that it scares the daylights out of Molly. The large
dog went round and round Molly and I wrapping the leash around my feet. I
finally grabbed Molly and held her. She was shaking like crazy. She normally
would want to tarry, but this time she was anxious to come home. Life goes
on.
