SAVING ON YOUR POWER BILL: Today marks the 11th day in a row that
high temperatures have been below normal across Central Alabama. In fact,
for the first two weeks of May, our high temperature has averaged 4 degrees
per day cooler than normal. Only 3 days were warmer than normal. This should
save on your power bill.

WHAT IS GOING ON NOW: Without getting too technical, the big upper
level low pressure system that was over the Great Lakes was over Cincinnati
this morning and will be over Pennsylvania tomorrow morning and finally over
New Hampshire late Tuesday. This system is so broad that it will keep winds
aloft over Alabama out of the west or NW. Some colder temperatures aloft
will also be spreading down into our area.

Moisture, however, is going to be rather limited for the next
several days. Even so, we could see a few afternoon showers or thunderstorms
each day except Thursday. Most areas will remain dry and on most days the
chance of you seeing one will only be about 1 in 5. Nights will continue
pleasantly cool, but finally the afternoons will warm up to around 80 by
Thursday and Friday.

ANOTHER COOL MORNING: Here are just a few of the lowest temperatures
around Alabama:

39 in DeSoto State Park
41 in Cullman and Hamilton
42 in Crossville
45 in Heflin and Addison
46 in Decatur, Ft. Payne, Jasper, Wedowee
47 in Pinson, Huntsville, Albertville, Ashville

THE NORTHEAST FLOODING: It is very, very serious and some reports
say it is the worst in over half a century. Governors in New Hampshire,
Maine and Massachusetts declared a state of emergency. Boston got nearly 4
inches of rain Sunday and they have now received almost 11 inches this
month, which is 9 inches above normal.

DATELINE SOUTH POLE: The bottom of the world is an extremely
interesting spot for weather unlike any other place on earth. The sun rises
around September 21 and sets each year about March 21. The old thermometer
drops below 50 below zero on an average of 250 days a year. The elevation is
over 9,000 feet and most of that footage is an immense layer of ice.

MONDAY TIDBITS: 25 in Limon, Colo., was the coldest in the lower 48
this morning-almost as cold as Alaska's low of 20 in good old
Deadhorse...hottest Sunday 114 in Death Valley.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: A most embarrassing incident on the
walking track. On a Saturday afternoon walk, a new dog in the community-the
one that has a long whining bark which ends with a sudden high note-came
through the hedgerow to greet Little Miss Molly. Miss Molly could not wait
to reach her. As dogs always do, they examine every square inch of each
other's body. I sure am glad that humans don't do that. After their
sniffing, the new dog starting chasing Molly who went round and round in
20-foot circles as far as the leash would stretch. Finally, she got afraid
and became airborne and landed against my knees wanting me to protect her.
It so happens that I have been losing weight. All my trousers are too large.
Molly caused my pants to suddenly fall below my knees. I mooned that poor
little dog. There I was trying to untangle the leash around my ankles,
rescue Molly and at the same time trying to pull up my pants. I looked in
all directions and did not see anyone. Hope noone was looking out the
window. I would never be able to get over the embarrassment. Life goes on
and Molly always provides plenty of excitement-sometimes too much!
