=============================================

SCATTERED LIGHT VALLEY FROST BY SATURDAY MORNING? This is what I
call seesaw weather and it is very appropriate for this time of year.
This afternoon some strong thunderstorms were in progress over East
and SE Texas, where a tornado watch was in effect. Some of this
moisture will spread into Alabama during the night and we may see a
few showers before daybreak. For tomorrow, there will be more clouds
than sun with scattered showers and thunderstorms. It is possible that
a few of the thunderstorms could be on the strong side. In fact, the
NWS has Central and North Alabama under a slight risk of a few severe
thunderstorms tomorrow from about Montgomery northward. Unless things
change drastically by tomorrow, we do not look for this to be a
significant threat. Cooler air will start rolling in Thursday. Friday
will be clearing, windy at times and much cooler with highs of 58 to
62 over the northern third of the state. A high pressure system will
be centered directly over Alabama Saturday and there is a decent
chance of some scattered light frost at daybreak in the traditional
cool spots over the northern third of the state. We are forecasting 39
even as far south as the Tuscaloosa-Birmingham-Anniston area. Great
weather Saturday for outdoor events, including college football with
highs in the 70s.

TROPICAL WEATHER: A low pressure area 200 miles SSE of the North
Carolina Outer Banks should not develop into a tropical situation. A
tropical wave about 200 miles east of the Windward Islands will be
moving westward. It will be slow to develop.

OUR WORLD OF WEATHER: We get an hourly report from Sunlight,
Colorado. I thought it was funny (well, ironic is a better word) that
they were reporting a cold rain this morning with temperature of only
34…the famous road up to Mt. Evans, Colorado is closed for the
season…6 inches of new snow at Virginia Dale, Colorado and 12 inches
near Nye, Montana. Cole Creek, Montana has 11 inches…coldest USA
temperatures this morning, 12 at Embarrass, Minnesota and 28 at Barrow
and Deadhorse, Alaska…by tomorrow, the NWS outlines a slight risk of
severe weather from the north half of Alabama northward through
Central and East Tennessee, northward to cover most of Ohio.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: I sure have tired to be good to Little
Miss Molly after being gone most of the day on two occasions recently.
I can tell she appreciates it, but I get the distinct feeling that I
cannot make up for short changing her ballgames. She clearly expects a
daily series of games. I toss or kick the balls all the way across the
living area. The carpet ends and hardwood floors go to the front door.
There is a throw rug near the front door and one day she skidded out
of control on the wood and went completely up under the throw rug. I
sure did laugh. Now, she makes a flying leap all the way from the
carpet and lands on top of the rug. That little 9-pound pleasurable
pest has an IQ considerably higher than mine. She forgets absolutely
nothing. She is clearly my CEO and boss. A dictatorship by her suits
me fine. Life goes on....
