A DAY OF SUNSHINE SATURDAY, BUT SHOWERS BY SUNDAY: In fact, some of
those showers could reach Central Alabama late Saturday night. It was
interesting to watch the movie loop of the visible satellite today. It
seemed that Alabama was hanging on to the low clouds for dear life,
but the overcast was eroding from both the east and west and the
cloudiness should get out of here later today or early tonight. The
clouds held temperatures into mostly the 50s this afternoon. There is
still quite a bit of ground-level moisture, so it is not out of the
question to have some patchy fog late tonight and early tomorrow
morning. However, Saturday should be mostly sunshine with temperatures
recovering to the mid 70s. Another cold front will arrive Sunday and
the showers on Sunday should end by afternoon. Finally, both Monday
and Tuesday should feature sunshine. Our coldest temperatures over the
next several days will include 39 early Saturday morning and 38
Tuesday morning.

FOOTBALL WEATHER: Chilly weather for high school football tonight.
No rain expected and temperatures will fall into the 40s. For Tulane
at Auburn at 1:30 Saturday afternoon, all sunshine with temperatures
peaking near 74 during the game. Alabama will be in Knoxville to meet
Tennessee at 2:30 CDT. About 67 at kickoff and into the 50s by the
fourth quarter. Clear weather. Marshall comes to Birmingham to play
UAB at 6:00 p.m. Saturday. Clear with 68 at kickoff and dropping into
the 50s.

TROPICAL WEATHER: There is a lot of cloudiness and showers over the
NE Caribbean, the Lesser Antilles and adjacent Atlantic waters, but
upper level winds are still not favorable for any tropical
development.

OUR WORLD OF WEATHER: Buffalo really caught it in that sudden
snowstorm early in the week and they still have about 30,000 customers
without power…some more raw weather for Upstate New York. In places
like Saranac Lake and Lake Placid, 3 to 5 inches of new snow tonight
with winds up to 40 mph…cold spots this morning 12 in Dillon, Colorado
and 14 in Lake George, Colorado…hottest yesterday was 93 at Leesburg,
Florida and Orlando…over 7 inches or rain has fallen this week in West
Alabama at Fayette…it got up to 89 yesterday in Dothan.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: It was an explosion. It was literally
like riding a bunch of fireworks. Last night I settled in to watch my
first baseball game in full all year. Little Miss Molly was clearly
annoyed that I wasn't using much of that time to play with her. So,
late in the game, she went on an energy burst—the most active one we
have seen. She was running all over the living area, with her red bone
in her mouth, so fast that her tail was sticking out. She would toss
that aside and then grab her squeaky ball and make a complete round
trip making the ball squeak. She would throw that aside and grab
another one. This went on for 10 minutes. It was so funny, that I died
laughing and missed some of the plays in the baseball game. Little
Miss Molly sure make me look at life in simplicity, but I have always
done that. She and I are a real team. Life goes on.....
