LOTS OF RAIN SUNDAY AND MONDAY: The early part of our
weekend is going to be fairly nice, but the weather will take a distinct
turn toward being wet Sunday and Monday. Some scattered light rain could
arrive as early as Saturday night.

Why all the rain Sunday and Monday? The cold front that pushed
through Alabama and was near the Gulf coast today will start back northward
as a warm front by early Monday. Meanwhile, a strong low pressure area will
form over North Texas and move to North Georgia by Tuesday morning. All of
this will pull a lot of moist air north from the Gulf of Mexico. We will
keep an eye on Monday's weather for the outside chance of a few severe
thunderstorms. One of our weather models thinks our dew point will not get
above the 50s on Monday. I tend to think they will get higher than that.
Most of the rain will be over by Tuesday morning and Tuesday should be windy
and cooler with highs only in the 50s.

During all of this, our most uncomfortable day will probably be
Sunday. It will rain much of the day with brisk NE winds and high
temperatures barely making it above 50. Normally, in mid March, our high is
around 67.

SPRING BREAK WEATHER: Here is a spot check of weather at a few
seemingly popular locations for Spring Break.

ORLANDO: The high should be around 82 tomorrow through Tuesday, then
cooling to highs 75-78 Wednesday and Thursday. Dry weather most of the time,

except a slight chance of showers on Tuesday.

GATLINBURG: Dry tomorrow and Sunday. Showers starting Sunday night
becoming numerous Monday. Scattered showers on Tuesday, but fair and dry
weather Wednesday and Thursday. For the next 5 days, highs will be rather
consistently in the 40s in the mountains and 50s in places like Gatlinburg,
Cades Cove and Pigeon Forge.

GULF SHORES: A high near 68 tomorrow with most of the day dry. A
good chance of rain by Sunday. Scattered showers and thunderstorms will
continue on Monday. Mostly sunny and cooler Tuesday and Wednesday. Highs
around 78 Monday but cooling to the 60s Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
Very little rain after Monday. This forecast is also good for the beach area
of NW Florida.

WASHINGTON: The nation's capitol should have mostly sunshine Sunday
and Monday with lows 28-30 and highs near 50. A chance of rain on Tuesday
with a high of 42. A chance of snow Tuesday night. Fair, dry weather
Wednesday and Thursday with highs both day near 50.

DID YOU KNOW? That the very first weather map published in a daily
newspaper was way back in 1875 in the London Times? Did you know also that a

tornado once ripped away a motel sign in Broken Bow, Oklahoma and carried it
30 miles into Arkansas?

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Our abode is so quiet today that it is
uncanny. Yes, we miss Little Miss Molly very much. She is away at the PBS
(Puppy Beauty Shop) for an overdue trim. The place is not the same without
her. Every time I walked from my office to the kitchen today for another cup
of java, I assumed the little girl will jump out at me with her favorite
ball in her mouth ready for a baseball game. I guess I am too attached to
her. She has only been gone 6 hours and I miss her dearly. Cannot wait until
she gets home and we will have a big playtime. I know I am too attached to
her and you probably tire of hearing about it, but she is a big part of my
life. Maybe my life is too simple, but life goes on but Molly and I like it
that way.
