SPRING IN THE AIR: One of those Chamber of Commerce days across Alabama
today and we will have another one tomorrow and most of Friday. In fact, the
warm afternoon temperatures will continue for the foreseeable future. We do
not even see a significant cool down for the next 7 to 9 days and that is
about as far as we can be reasonably accurate.
A stalled front was draped across Central Alabama this afternoon.
Dew points are much lower over the north than down south, so the cooler
temperatures tonight will be over NE Alabama.
OUR NEXT CHANCE OF RAIN: The chances tomorrow look so slim that we
have taken it out of the forecast. Another cold front will be trying to
invade our territory this weekend. We think now that showers on Friday
across Central Alabama will hold off until late in the day. Our better
chance of showers, along with a few thunderstorms, will be Friday night. All
evidence points to the greatest energy from this system passing to the north
of Alabama, so we do not believe we will have a severe weather threat with
this. For a time we thought most of the weekend would be dry, but we have
reintroduced some showers as that next front stalls across Central Alabama.
NEW KID ON THE BLOCK: Weather people are always glad to get new
weather information. We are pleased to see that we now get hourly reports
from Gulf Shores on the Alabama coast from Jack Edwards Airport.
DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME: Excuse me for editorializing a bit here, but
I just do not like DST. It starts at 2:00 Sunday morning. You will need to
set your clocks ahead one hour. DST will stay in effect until the last
Sunday in October. Next year, DST will take up more of the year starting the
second Sunday in March and ending the first Sunday in November. World
weather data flows using Universal Time This means that we will have one
hour less time to prepare all of our forecasts.
THREE DOT STUFF: Two days ago there was 15 inches of snow on the
ground atop Mt. LeConte in the Smoky Mountains. This morning they reported
zero, which means 1/2 inch or less...the only tornado in the entire USA
yesterday was in Central California...minor damage...over 5 inches of rain
in the last 24 hours in SE Texas and nearly 5 inches in Ventura County,
California...40 below zero this morning at Chandalar Lake, Alaska, no global
warming there for today...coldest in the lower 48 was 9 at Truckee,
California.
MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Yesterday, every time I walked Molly
it was full speed ahead. I spent most of the walk yanking back on the leash.
This morning it was just the opposite. Extremely casual. We took forever. It
was a beautiful walk with blue sky and great visibility...there are 4 homes
on the upper side of the walking track where real Molly fans live. She
always plops down in their backyards, ears alert and tail slowly wagging
hoping they will come out and pat her on the head or give her a tummy
rub...more birds singing this morning than we have heard yet. One
mockingbird, perched in the top of a small barren oak tree, was singing
continuously. Using my imagination, I thought the bird was singing "Yellow
Rose of Texas" or the "Tennessee Waltz" but he changed to rap...life goes on
and it goes better with the birds serenading.
