A MIXED BAG OF WEATHER: The weather here in Central Alabama is not
going to stay the same very long at a time for the next several days. This
will include several cloudy periods and rain. Clouds will increase Thursday
and we could see a little bit of light rain Thursday night. A quick clearing
for Friday and clouds right back in the area by Saturday.

OUR MAIN RAIN EVENT: Some rain will reach the area late in the day
Saturday and continue Saturday night. The most widespread and heaviest
amount of rain will come on Sunday and continue Sunday night and Monday. It
is going to be a rather raw day on Sunday with lows in the 40s and highs in
the 50s with brisk easterly winds. Some places may get over 1 inch of rain
during this time period, especially on Sunday and Monday.

Meanwhile, do not look for any more warm 80s anytime soon. The
projection is for highs to not get above the 60s all the way through the
middle of next week.

LAST NIGHT'S CHILL: Heavy frost was reported at several locations
across North Alabama last night. Here is a selection of low temperatures:
25 at Black Creek, heavy frost (NE Etowah County)
27 in Cottondale and at Little River Canyon
28 in Pinson, Ft. Payne, DeSoto State Park
29 in Munford, Talladega, Crossville
30 in Cullman, Leeds, Russellville, Alabaster
31 in Vinemont, Anniston, Helena, Jasper
32 in Huntsville, Tuscaloosa, Montgomery, Wadley
35 at Birmingham Airport

DID YOU KNOW: that the biggest tornado ever known to occur in the
USA was an F4 at Hallam, Nebraska on May 22, 2004. It was nearly 2-1/2 miles
wide.

SCANNING PART OF THE GLOBE: It was 14 this morning atop Mt.
LeConte in the Great Smoky Mountains...coldest in the lower 48 was 15 below
at Hallock, Minnesota and the coldest in Alaska 34 below at Northway.
Temperatures have moderated across Alaska.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Took a short walk at 5:00 this morning
without Little Miss Molly before the first light of day. The birds were
singing with lots of enthusiasm. Little Miss Molly did not crawl out of bed,
stretching and yawning, until 8:00. Away we went. The birds did not sing to
us. Maybe they were having the bird version of a morning coffee break. We
met Bridgette and her "mom" Lisa a the far end of the walk. Molly and
Bridgette have become good friends. They always spend 30 seconds rubbing
noses and then give each other the all-over sniff test. Bridgette is also a
Shih-tsu. It always makes Molly's day to see another doggy while walking.
Lisa scratched Molly's head this morning and she ate that up. I think Molly
assumes that the whole world should love her and spend time with her. The
whole community loves her and little Miss Molly, along with me and my little
blue scoop, are a familiar site. Life goes on.
