A WARM WEEKEND: We sure do not see any threat of frost any time soon and temperatures are going to be well above normal for at least a week. There will be a slight cool down by Tuesday, but it should be a perfectly comfortable day. There is a chance that some parts of Alabama will reach the mid 80s Sunday and 80 to 83 on Monday. Otherwise highs will be well up into the 70s and lows mostly in the lower 60s.
NOW ABOUT RAIN: As a cold front edges closer to the state, scattered showers and possibly some thunderstorms will occur tonight and Saturday morning. We believe that the main energy in these storms will be to the north of Alabama. We have not mentioned a chance of severe storms this far south. However, during the night there is a chance that there could be a few strong storms mainly north of the Birmingham area. The surface low is far to the north.
VIOLENT WEATHER: Lots of severe thunderstorms and several tornadoes from Oklahoma to Nebraska yesterday, including one in the Omaha area. We saw the fairly unusual situation to where the Texas Panhandle had warnings at the same time they had blowing dust. You could even see the dust swirls on doppler radar. You could also see some smoke swirling around from more wildfires in the Texas Panhandle. In that area, hundreds of acres of grassland have been burned in the last couple of days. They experienced a major wildfire event just a couple of weeks ago. It is estimated that as much as 400 acres burned yesterday and about 10 homes were destroyed.
FRIDAY WRAP UP: Sure enjoyed speaking at the Birmingham East Rotary Club at noon. Thanks to Glenn Slye for arranging the program. My part was a tongue-in-cheek look at the weather, which is my nature...a violent tornado occurred on this date in 1933 across Jones, Jasper and Clarke Counties in Mississippi...it was an F4 that killed 37 people and injured 170...651 inches of snow has fallen this winter at Kirtwood in the Sierra-Nevada Mountains of California...well over 500 inches has fallen in places like Alta, Utah...big snow melt underway in the Northern Plains and Upper Midwest and already causing some flooding .on this date in 1954, it was 108 degrees at Rio Grande City, Texas, hottest ever in the USA for the month of March.
MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: One of the most pleasant things about Little Miss Molly is watching her wake up every morning. She goes through a ritual of stretching, yawning, moaning and groaning. Now she has developed a habit of pulling herself along on her tummy to the little bell on the back door which is a signal, I need to go to the bathroom. Very pleasant walk this morning. Molly and I have walked so much that we can almost automatically tell the temperature by stepping outside. This morning we could tell the dew point was up quite a bit...same mockingbird was in the top of the same sassafras tree singing at the top of his voice. We love music...a nice e-mail from a lady who lives on Neely-Henry Lake. They have seen cardinals for a couple of weeks and yesterday she saw the first hummingbird since last fall. She put out food for the little creature. She just loves to watch the hummingbirds. They have had as many as 15 on one feeder. Life goes on and spring has sprung.
