CHANCE OF VALLEY FROST TONIGHT: Big changes in our weather over the
next few days, but before we get to a big rain event early next week,
we have some very pleasant weather to get us through this weekend,
that is, if you don't mind some chilly nighttime temperatures. We
should see our lowest temperatures since last spring tonight. By
morning, there will likely be some scattered frost in the
traditionally colder North Alabama valleys. We are forecasting an
average low of 38 along the I-20 corridor, but even in those areas
some of the valleys could have mid 30s. Not out of the question that
we could have somebody reporting a low of 29 or 30 tomorrow morning in
North Alabama.

Take heart—the warm up will be quick, reaching the mid 70s Saturday
afternoon and even warmer in the days that follow. Our main rain event
comes on Monday and Tuesday. The time window for the most rain will
likely be Monday afternoon into Tuesday afternoon. There are some
indications that some parts of Central Alabama could receive as much
as 3 inches storm total.

It was quite chilly across North Alabama this morning. There is an
extensive list of low temperatures on the 33/40 blog. Just a few of
the colder places included: 31 in Hamilton and Belle Mina, 33 in
Muscle Shoals, 34 in Decatur and Cullman, 35 in Valley Head and 36 in
the Bankhead National Forest.

FOOTBALL WEATHER: For high school games tonight, you will need to
dress warmly. Clear and crisp with temperatures falling quickly
through the 50s and into the 40s before the game is over. For Saturday
college games, Old Miss will be at Alabama with a 2:30 p.m. kick off.
It should be sunny with temperatures in the mid 70s and low humidity
with temperatures dropping into the 60s by the final whistle. Florida
will be in Auburn for a Saturday night game, 6:45 p.m. kick off. It
should be in the 60s to start the game but in the 50s during the
second half. Different story down in Houston where UAB will play Rice
in a night game. It should be in the 70s , but a good chance of
showers and thunderstorms in the area.

TROPICAL WEATHER: A big low pressure area about 200 miles north of
Puerto Rico was moving slowly west. Conditions are not favorable for
tropical development.

OUR WORLD OF WEATHER: And it is topsy-turvy for the Great Lakes and
Upper Midwest. The earliest snow cover in a long history of weather
records for a number of places. State of emergency in Buffalo with
huge snow bursts that dumped over 2 feet in parts of the area…coldest
temperature in the lower 48 this morning was 12 at Devil's Tower,
Wyoming.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Did not have room for a Little Miss
Molly story yesterday. She acted like her feelings were hurt. Also did
not have time to play a single ballgame until it was almost her
bedtime. However, she is ready for a ballgame almost any time of day.
Tried to play a second game with her real late last night, but all she
would do was hold the ball between her paws and go back to sleep. Hope
we don't give her an ulcer disrupting her sleeping patterns. Nice
crisp morning to walk. Couple of new neighbors walking around the
track and Little Miss Molly, a great ambassador, was quick to make
friends with them. Life goes on and Little Miss Molly makes the trip
smoother....
