NOT AS COOL TONIGHT: There was some scattered light frost in some of
the North Alabama locations this morning. The temperature dropped to
34 in Black Creek, 38 in DeSoto State Park, 39 at Ft. Payne Airport,
40 in Anniston and Montgomery, 41 in Cullman, Crossville, Tuscaloosa
and Selma. It will not be as chilly tonight.

After last night's clear weather, some high thin cirrus clouds spread
over the state today (those make beautiful sunsets). A light SW wind
will set in tonight and this will keep temperatures at least 10
degrees above those of last night. Tomorrow another cold front will be
pushing down through the central part of the country. It will reach NW
Alabama Tuesday night and Wednesday morning and push through the state
by Thursday morning. We do not expect a big rain event like we have
had in the last few cold fronts, but there will be some showers
starting later tomorrow with a better chance Tuesday night and
Wednesday. It should be clearing on Thursday. Next weekend looks great
with cool early mornings, but highs in the 60s.

OUR WORLD OF WEATHER: Mount Washington, New Hampshire is a
remarkable weather factory. Early this afternoon they had 18 degrees
with NW winds averaging 86 mph with gusts to 112. They had a wind gust
to 158 mph over the weekend due to that gigantic low pressure area in
the NE. That was their highest gust in over 10 years…some of the
colder temperature around the USA this morning included 8 below zero
at Sweet Grass, Montana, 2 below at Polebridge, Montana and 4 above at
Rogers Pass, Montana…the latter location still holds the all-time low
temperature of 7 below zero in the lower 48 states recorded in the
1950s. A friend and I visited that little weather station the next
spring after it happened wading the last two miles up the canyon in
deep snow drifts in April. I will write a story about that one day.

TROPICAL WEATHER: The nervous weather area from the Gulf of Honduras
across Cuba and the Bahamas and then into the Atlantic still cannot
get its act together. It is not expected to develop into a tropical
cyclone, but it will produce heavy rain.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Walking Little Miss Molly without a
stick again, because we believe the angry dog that threatened some
people and injured a small dog in our community is gone. No sightings
since last Friday. The city has been trying to catch the dog, but to
no avail. However, I do watch closely and I'm ready to pick up Little
Miss Molly instantly if I see the dog and then try to negotiate with
the bad guy. I am now convinced that Little Miss Molly would like for
me to play up to 25 ballgames a day with her. The more I play, the
more she wants. She has gotten so good that when I throw the ball
across the living area, she waits until it bounces off the opposite
wall and catches it on the rebound. She is too smart for me, but I
don't mind being inferior to that little girl. It amazes me how a
simple little treat can make her so ultra happy. Life goes on....
