JUST WHAT WE NEED—A STRETCH OF DRY DAYS: One of our computer models
is projecting a chance of at least some light rain on Monday. We are
going to disregard that at the moment, because it looks like we will
have a steady flow of cool dry air from the NW. Yesterday's big storms
moved out last evening, but circulation around a big low pressure area
gave us a hangover of clouds today and some downright miserable
weather. Temperatures this afternoon were equally as chilly as we
often have on a mid winter day. The thermometer could not get out of
the 40s and this was accompanied by brisk west winds gusting over 25
mph at times along with some intermittent light rain and drizzle. The
sky should clear late tonight, or at least by daybreak. After that,
look for lots of sunshine on most days and dry weather all the way
through the weekend. Another cold front will come in Saturday night or
Sunday morning bringing some even colder temperatures. We are calling
for highs in the upper 40s Sunday and Monday and a low of 32 Monday
morning. For the Alabama-Auburn game in Tuscaloosa Saturday afternoon,
it should be mostly sunshine with about 65 degrees at kickoff, but
dropping into the 50s in the second half.

YESTERDAY'S VIOLENT WEATHER: We are, oh, so fortunate that we had no
fatalities. A number of tornadoes touched down—mainly from the
Montgomery area east and southward. The NWS has four survey teams
working today. Early survey reports are in and four tornadoes have
been confirmed—one in extreme SE Pike County, two in Montgomery County
and one in Chambers County. Remember, there may be others, because the
survey is far from complete. The tornado in the eastern city limits of
Montgomery had a path of 6.5 miles and was rated an F2.

DOES ANYONE NEED RAIN? A tremendous statewide drenching again
yesterday. We have had a lot of those in the last several weeks. The
$264 question is: does anybody want or need any additional rain. We
have a complete list of rainfall totals on our blog, but here are a
few of the heavier amounts: 5.65 inches in Childersburg, 6.50 in
Plantersville, 4.50 at Valley Grande north of Selma, 3.93 at Atmore,
5.50 at White City in Autauga County, 3.63 at Ashland. Over 3 inches
in North Auburn, Bankhead Lock and Dam, Centre, Roanoke, Holt, Martin
Dam, Jordan Dam, Brewton and 3.39 inches at Atmore.

OUR WORLD OF WEATHER: Same storm system that gave us a lot of
headaches Wednesday produced some violent tornadoes in Columbus
County, North Carolina around 7 this morning. 7 confirmed deaths and
there may be more…tornado watches this afternoon up the Atlantic Coast
as far north as Philadelphia…it was zero in Gunnison, Colorado this
morning…28 below at Gulkana, Alaska.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Was at Channel 33/40 doing radio
weather most of yesterday. I finally went 37 hours with no sleep. I
got home and sat on the couch and was out like a light in one minute.
Little Miss Molly did not accept that. When I came in, she became so
excited that she was vibrating all over. For the rest of the evening,
she stayed within a few feet of me. She kept jumping up on the couch
where I was taking a power nap. Only thing, she had a ball in her
mouth. Translation: I don't care how tired you are, big guy, it's my
playtime. After I went to bed, she hopped up on the bed after I was
asleep and curled up right by my head on my pillow. I didn't even know
it. She desperately missed me, but life goes on...

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
business or home. Ask for Eddie or Amie. 205.956.4811
