SCATTERED FROST AND A FREEZE BY MORNING: Plenty of cold air moved
into Alabama overnight and dropped temperatures all the way down to
the mid 30s over the north. It was 35 in the Bankhead National Forest
and in Decatur and 36 in Huntsville, Meridianville, Muscle Shoals and
Cullman. The NWS has a freeze warning for parts of North Alabama
tonight.

This afternoon a very large high pressure system was sprawled all the
way from Missouri far up into Canada. This is pumping cold air
southward over much of the USA. This type setup gives lake effect snow
for place like Buffalo. Tonight temperatures will drop as low as the
mid 20s in the Great Smoky Mountains. Across Central Alabama, we are
looking for an average low tonight of about 31 with scattered frost.
The frost may be a little heavier in the valleys and don't be
surprised to hear of low temperatures tomorrow morning of around 28 in
places like Pinson, Hamilton, Bridgeport and Valley Head.

Looks like dry weather for our region through Monday. It will be cold
again Friday night. We will do good to reach 60 Friday afternoon. For
the rest of the weekend, the highs will be in the mid 60s. In Football
Weather, clear and chilly for Friday night high school games and
mostly sunny weather with ideal temperatures in the 60s for Saturday
afternoon college games.

TROPICAL WEATHER: A low pressure area just east of Belize continues
to produce showers and thunderstorms over the NW Caribbean.
Interestingly, it has become a little better organized, but upper
level winds are not friendly enough for development.

THE IIMPORTANCE OF SNOW COVER: In winter, weather forecasters here
in Alabama pay attention to snow cover, even if it is not in our area.
This can have an effect on our temperatures. For example, if there is
a good solid snow cover from about Arkansas and Missouri northward and
a decent north wind, temperatures here in Alabama can be several
degrees lower than they would be without that snow. This can fool
weather models. This is because the north wind is chilled more as it
blows across the vast snow field. We especially are concerned when all
of Alaska and Canada is snow covered and the coverage extends halfway
down into the USA. It is interesting to note that today about 90% of
Alaska and Canada already has a snow cover and we believe that is an
early start. We will keep one of our weather eyes pointed north all
winter…the coldest temperature in the USA this morning was 11 below
zero at Arctic Village, Alaska…in the lower 48 it was 5 below at
Polebridge, Montana and 1 above at Wolf Point out on those wide open
plains of NE Montana.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Too busy again yesterday to spend much
time with Little Miss Molly. Since she keeps a timecard on me, late
last night when we told her it was time to go night-night, she ran and
hid. My wife was trying to find her. Molly evaded her and went in the
big bedroom, hopped up on the king sized bed and tried to hide behind
a blanket that was stacked there. She looked unhappy when
discovered…Molly's little friend, Bridgett, who lives at the north end
of the walking track, also insisted on running to the door Halloween
night to greet all the kids. Molly and Bridgett are like breeds, so I
guess that runs in the family. Poor little me. Molly had me out
walking at full speed before sunrise. Life goes on....
