TWO MORE MILD DAYS BEFORE IT TURNS COLD: Unseasonably mild is the
situation across Alabama now and it will stay that way through
Thursday. Moisture is slowly increasing and we can't rule out the
possibility of a few showers through Wednesday. By far, it looks like
our best time window for showers and thunderstorms will be late
Thursday—mainly Thursday night and very early Friday. During that time
period, showers and thunderstorms will become more numerous. Slight
chance that a few thunderstorms could become severe during that time.

The big very cold arctic air mass over Canada and the NW USA is
having to fight its way southward because winds aloft are not
immediately favorable. However, it will eventually get here. The front
should move quickly through Central Alabama late Thursday night or
very early Saturday morning. There will be some lingering showers and
possibly a few thunderstorms Friday morning. It will be windy and
turning much colder with falling temperatures. It is almost a coin
toss what the early morning temperature will be Friday. We are
projecting 49 for Central Alabama, but temperatures will be falling to
near 35 late in the day. Since the wind will be NW up to 25 mph, it
will be a noticeable change to what we are having now. Saturday should
be dry with early morning lows in the upper 20s or lower 30s. The air
mass will be shallow at first.

OUR WORLD OF WEATHER: Did you know that rain and snow that falls on
Helena, Montana finds its way to the Gulf of Mexico through New
Orleans? Same story for Denver and Cheyenne. It is the mighty
Mississippi in action draining a huge part of the lower 48
states…bitter cold over Western Montana this morning. The lowest
temperature I could find in the lower 48 states was 25 below zero at
Gleason, Montana, 24 below at Browning and 21 below at St. Mary…places
like St. Louis and other central cities in the USA will have to deal
with some freezing rain, sleet and snow as this arctic air mass
insists on pushing its way southward. There could be a change over to
snow after the freezing rain and sleet.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Two of our grandkids were here
overnight and I wish you could see Little Miss Molly when they are
around. She especially loves children. Last night we switched beds
with Molly and she slept in the king sized bed. When I opened the door
this morning, she zoomed out like a rocket to wake up the grandkids.
Not only that, but I took her out early for a bathroom break. She
wanted to immediately come back inside and play with the kids.
Normally she wants to go on a long walk…be sure and read the story on
the front page of the Birmingham News Lifestyle Section this morning
by Scottie Vickery. It is a story about a very special dog that will
absolutely warm your heart, even if you don't like dogs. Life goes on
and I certainly love my little 9-pound pal. She is not human, but she
is the closest thing to it.....

MOTORCYCLE RIDE--DECEMBER 2nd
BENEFITING THE ELDRIDGE CHILDREN'S HOME

Come join us in a fantastic motorcycle ride with a great cause!

It's the 4th Annual Eldridge Children's Home Benefit Ride. The home, located
in Eldridge just off Hwy 78 and State Hwy 13 in Northwest Alabama, has
been in operation since 1948. It houses 30 children in all age groups; they are
educated in public schools, attend local churches and are raised within the
campus in homes. The home accepts no state or federal money and operates
on donations from area churches and individuals.

Motorcycle riders get together for a ride to benefit this home. Riders are able
to fulfill a special "Christmas Wish List" from each child and help operate this
home all year long. Riders are encouraged to bring gift cards from any retail
outlet or give a donation via check, made payable to Eldridge Children's Home.
This home has a 501(c)3 status, so donations are tax deductible.

Weather will not be a factor--just be there for the children.
The first Saturday in December, all roads lead to Eldridge.
http://www.eldridge-toy-run.com. All donations are accepted!
