GREAT WEATHER FOR FOOTBALL: Let's get the football weather out of
the way first. For the high school playoff games tonight, it will be
clear, but rather chilly with temperatures around 52 at kickoff
dropping into the 40s. In college football Saturday, Auburn will play
Alabama in Tuscloosa at 2:30. Mostly sunny weather with about 64
degrees at kickoff, but dropping into the 50s in the second half. UAB
is in Hattiesburg playing Southern Miss in a 7:00 p.m. kickoff. About
58 at the opening whistle and near 50 by the end.

THE ALABAMA SITUATION: Those cold fronts out of the far north seem
to have taken a liking for Alabama. We have had a whole series of them
in the past several weeks. Some of them bring a lot of heavy rain and
Wednesday we had an overdose of severe weather. The NWS, in a midday
statement, reports 8 confirmed tornadoes in 7 different counties
across Central and SE Alabama. The survey is subject to change,
because they are very busy gathering a lot of extra details to crank
in to the report.

Temperatures by morning will drop into the low and mid 30s. Saturday
will have highs in the low to mid 60s with more sun than clouds.
Another in those series of cold fronts will move quickly through
Central Alabama Saturday night and Sunday. Clouds will be in and out
on Sunday. There could even be a few sprinkles and highs will barely
get across the 50-degree mark. Even colder on Monday. The latest raw
data seems to downplay any precipitation for Monday, but over the
ridges of East-Central and NE Alabama, such as Mt. Cheaha, Sand
Mountain and Lookout Mountain, there could be some brief light drizzle
or maybe even a few snowflakes. Don't go out and buy a bunch of
bread, milk and pop tarts. No big deal.

THE WORLD OF WEATHER: 90% of Canada is covered by snow and almost
all of Alaska, except a small strip along the Pacific Coast and out
across the Aleutians. It is getting progressively colder in the
Arctic. It was 29 below zero at Delta Junction, Alaska this morning
and 33 below at Mayo and Dawson in the Canadian Yukon. Over on the ice
cap of Greenland, it was 69 below zero with a wind chill of 100 below.
Juneau, Alaska has 28 inches of snow on the ground…Seattle has been
flooded with 11.63 inches of rain in the first 16 days of November…the
tragic tornadoes in North Carolina early yesterday are too sad to
think about. There were 8 fatalities in Columbus County near
Wilmington, but 4 children are hospitalized in critical condition.
Time to crank out some prayers.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: In our early morning walk, we noticed
literally thousands of leaves on the ground. Little Miss Molly loves
to go plodding across the ground covered by leaves…the CC (Community
Cat) was sitting in the wet grass near the north end of the walking
track. I lifted Little Miss Molly up so she could see further and see
the cat. It was just like sticking a match to a Roman candle. She
literally jumped out of my arms and temporarily pulled me over on my
knees, but I held on. It was all I could do to keep up with her, but
the cat had scrambled. When Molly got to where it was, she got into a
frenzy trying to sniff the track. I bet I reversed directions 10
times. We paused by the Old Crow Motel, as we always do, and I
actually counted about 45 leaves—all that is left in the rooms (well,
on the branches). Life goes on and I have to move fast with my little
pal....

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
