ABC 33/40 E-Forecast

ABC 33/40 E-FORECAST
Afternoon Edition For Thursday November 9, 2006

====================================================
LOOKING FOR AN ALARM SYSTEM?
CALL PRESTIGE ALARMS--WE ARE DIFFERENT.
GIVE US A CHANCE!

Prestige Alarm specializes in monitoring security systems
without the use of expensive phone lines or unreliable cell phones.

How do we do this? Prestige Alarm is one of the few companies
who monitors with an UL listed FCC licensed radio network.
In a typical system, if your phone line is cut or fails,
then you have no communication to the outside world.

Since we do not use phone lines, we can still dispatch the
fire or police when the emergency requires. Despite cut
phone lines, storms or over worked cell phones, we still
get the signal through.

We do not offer the free systems like some of the other
security companies. But you do not want to trust in free
equipment to protect the people who are close to you.

Call Prestige Alarm today to get the best alarm for your
home. Ask for Eddie or Amie. 205.956.4811

NEAR RECORD WARMTH FOR Friday: If the temperature reaches our
forecast high of 80 in Birmingham tomorrow, it will be within 1 degree
of our record high of 81 in 1915. On November 11, we had 84 in 1896.
The warmth will not last long. We expect a quick-moving cold front to
come through Central Alabama Saturday morning, keeping the Saturday
highs in the 60s and dropping lows Saturday night and early Sunday
morning to near 39.

NOW ABOUT THE QUICK CHANGES: Clouds will move in Friday night. Some
showers will reach our area at some point between midnight and
daybreak Saturday and persist in the area through much of the morning.
The weather will clear late Saturday. Sunday should be all sunshine.
Then on Monday, clouds will increase with some showers starting Monday
afternoon and continuing Monday night. It looks like an even stronger
stormy event for Central Alabama the first part of next week. At this
time, we believe some better chance of some strong storms will be
Tuesday night and Wednesday morning. That could change after some of
the weather models have a powwow and reach a consensus.

FOOTBALL WEATHER: UTEP (University of Texas-El Paso) will be at
Legion Field Friday night to play UAB. The weather should be fair and
dry with temperatures falling through the 60s. Georgia will be at
Auburn for an 11:30 kickoff Saturday. There will be a slight chance of
a shower or thunderstorm. Temperatures should peak around 72 and then
drop into the 60s during the game. Alabama will be in Baton Rouge to
play LSU Saturday night. They will have thunderstorms Saturday, mostly
during the morning. It should be fair and dry Saturday night with
temperatures in the 60s at kickoff and the 50s by the end of the game.

THE VERY INTERESTING WORLD OF WEATHER: 6 to 12 inches of snow
expected today over the north and west mountains of Wyoming including
4 to 8 inches in Yellowstone National Park…a hot 93 at Wink, Texas
yesterday…it was 15 this morning at Doyleville, Colo…it was 31 below
zero at Dawson in the Yukon…the surplus in rainfall for Houston this
year now stands at 14 inches…in the Big Apple (occasionally called New
York City), the excess is almost 12 inches. In Central Park they
recorded 54.30 inches this year, which is 2 inches more than
Birmingham.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Little Miss Molly is good with puppy
psychology. She knows me like the back of her paw. She takes advantage
of me and manipulates me. She has learned to play a one-person (er,
one-dog) ballgame when I am busy. This morning it sounded like the
World Series in our living area and she was running at breakneck speed
and tossing balls in all directions. It sounded like a shark on a
feeding frenzy. I didn't dare go in there, because she would have
forced me into a long game…oh, for the sights and sounds of autumn. On
our walk this morning, we noticed the 2 Bradford pears in Molly's
backyard now a deep rust color. Further up the track, we walked
through a canopy of large leaves that had fallen off the sassafras
tree…the thick hedgerow along the track will thin out some and Molly
will always stop and try to get a glimpse of Jo-Jo who lives on the
other side. She always stops, hoping to see him. She also stops at 3
other homes up the track where her human friends live. Life goes
on.....
