...Santa Will Be Wet...

A LOT COLDER TONIGHT AND TUESDAY: Not the most pleasant Christmas
Day across Alabama thanks to a strong low pressure system that moved
NE out of the Gulf of Mexico. It crossed NE Mississippi and NW Alabama
before noon and was moving into Kentucky this afternoon. Because of
the low, it has been quite windy across the state today, especially on
the ridges. We have seen gusts as high as 46 mph. Even down in the
valleys, there were frequent gusts to around 30. Warm air streaming
north from the Gulf of Mexico sent the old thermometer soaring well
into the 60s over SE Alabama this afternoon. Meanwhile, colder air was
spreading into West Alabama behind the low. It will get progressively
colder tonight and Tuesday. By daybreak, look for mid and upper 30s
across the north half of the state.
SNOW CHANCES: We might as well face that question early in the
story. We do not foresee any problems with snow here in Alabama.
However, scattered light rain may become mixed with or change over to
light snow toward daybreak, but there should not be any accumulation.
We also may see some flurries through much of Tuesday morning. Again,
no problems expected. By Wednesday, sunshine returns and there will be
a nice warm up Wednesday and Thursday. Our coldest temperatures should
be about 28 Wednesday morning, but it will be 60 or higher Thursday
and Friday. I am holding in my never-nicotine-stained hands (but often
caffeine stained) an interesting weather chart for next Friday and
Saturday. It looks like one of the strongest low pressure systems so
far this season will start developing over West Texas Thursday morning
and intensifying as it moves to Oklahoma and North Texas Friday and
into Missouri by Saturday morning. This has the potential to pull much
moisture northward from my old friend, the Gulf of Mexico. This could
be quite a stormy situation. For us toward the end of the week.
OUR WORLD OF WEATHER: A number of tornado watches today along the
coastal sections of the Carolinas, Georgia and a big part of the
Florida Peninsula. A tornado touched down on the Tampa Bay Golf and
Country Club at midday. At the country club, 15 to 20 homes were
severely damage and 15 additional homes had lesser damage…two persons
were injured near San Antonio in Pasco County…Colorado is still
heavily covered by snow. Today there was still 16 inches on the ground
at Castle Rock on I-25 between Colorado Springs and Denver and 28
inches NE of Castle Rock. There was 16 inches at Greeley. Further
westward in the mountains, Bailey had 30 inches…coldest temperatures
in the USA this morning was 21 below zero at Antero Reservoir in
North-Central Colorado.
MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: My little 9-pound pal is in a recovery
mode from 5 days of in-house company, including grandkids and a guest
dog. She got very little rest and spent much of the time trying to
stay out of the way. The last company left late yesterday. She slept 9
hours overnight and additional 5 hours today. Hope you saw that great
story in this morning's Birmingham News about Louie, who is a boxer
dog that was missing 13 monthsfrom his Logan Martin home. He was
discovered on a web site in an animal shelter. They did not tell their
son Madison they found Louie and had planned to have a bow on him and
bring him into the house this morning after he had opened all of his
presents. I would have given anything to have been a fly in the
Christmas tree to see his reaction! Merry Christmas and life goes on.
–J B Elliott.
