....Another Dry Day Friday.....

SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS BECOMING NUMEROUS SATURDAY NIGHT: Bright
blue sky across Alabama today, which holds little hint of the changing
weather we will experience before the weekend is over. Let's get right
to the point on the time window for the worst weather. It still looks
like Saturday night and into about mid morning Sunday. During that
time, showers and thunderstorms will be numerous, including some
strong storms. They will also be dumping heavy rain. As much as 2
inches can be expected across Central Alabama. One bit of good news in
all of this, because of a number of factors, the threat of severe
thunderstorms for Saturday night has lessened. We cannot rule it out,
but it appears that any risk of severe would be in the extreme SW part
of the state.
An intense low pressure area will be centered near Oklahoma City by
Saturday morning. After that, it will curve northeastward into East
Kansas. A big upper air low was centered over Arizona today. That
feature is calling the shots on this big storm system. Often that will
slow down the overall progression, so that is why we will not get our
worst weather until Saturday night. Finally for New Year's Day, it
will be breezy and cooler, but clouds may hang around most of the day.
Low temperatures across Alabama this morning were in the mid and
upper 20s in most of the valleys and in the lower 30s elsewhere.
FOOTBALL WEATHER: For the Cotton Bowl in Dallas Monday, Auburn meets
Nebraska. It is an early game with a kick off around 10:30. It should
be partly sunny and cool with about 44 degrees at kick off and warming
to about 52 before the game is over.
OUR WONDERFUL WORLD OF WEATHER: Denver is going to get blasted again
by a major snowstorm and they will likely get some big drifts. The NWS
thinks that about 10-20 inches of snow will accumulate, but always in
big storms like this, some places get a lot more. The snow was already
underway this afternoon and will become heavy by tonight. Cheyenne is
expecting possibly a foot also. This afternoon, almost white-out
conditions were reported on the mountain passes in Colorado with
temperatures in the teens and winds as high as 46 mph. The USA low
this morning was zero at Crane Lake, Minnesota and Presque Isle,
Maine. In Alaska, it was a bitter 45 below zero at Chandalar Lake.
Whittier, Alaska has 77 inches of snow on the ground and there is 28
inches on St. Paul Island and in Valdez. The wind chill was close to
60 below today at good old Deadhorse in the extreme north.
MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Little Miss Molly is still sleep
deprived and so is her primary owner. Actually I should be the one who
should be complaining most to lack of sleep, but I am used to that.
Strangely enough, Little Miss Molly has not even asked for a ballgame
in several days. I have been so busy, she just gave up. I will get
back in the routine and I hope to spend more time with her in 2007
than ever. She is good medicine. Playing with her is somewhat like
eating a valium sandwich. I have never had that medicine, but I
understand it is a sedative. I am certainly not making fun of it,
because I know some people need it. I am too silly and wacky to get
depressed. No more Pop Tarts till Thanksgiving. JBE
