DRYNESS BECOMES MORE SERIOUS: This has been an unusual month of
March so far. There was violent weather on the very first day and
then it seemed that everything changed. The weather turned dry and
way too warm. Yesterday the high temperature across Central Alabama
was about 13 degrees too warm. Here is a look at the shortfall in
rain so far in 2007.

8.05 inches at Birmingham Airport
9.50 inches at Huntsville
5.71 inches in Montgomery
10.60 inches at Mobile Regional Airport

That may not sound like much, but that is the shortage for less than
three months. We still do not see any widespread soaking rain soon.
Our latest forecast will reflect a few showers showing up at some
point Wednesday and a slightly better chance on Friday. We have been
watching the weather to the east today. A slightly cooler air mass
was trying to push down the Atlantic Seaboard and into the Carolinas
and Georgia. Temperatures were only in the 60s and 70s across parts
of South Carolina this afternoon. Some of that slightly cooler air
could reach Alabama Tuesday. Some parts of East Alabama may not get
above the upper 70s tomorrow. By Friday, we expect upper 70s to be
fairly common across this area.

AT THE BEACH: I suppose some more schools are on Spring Break this
week, since they are not all going at the same time this year. High
temperatures for the remainder of this week will be between 78 and
82. Most days will have more sunshine than clouds. A few showers and
thunderstorms may start as early as Friday.

THE WORLD OF WEATHER: It is all in a name. Cape Fairweather, in the
coastal area of Alaska, is expected to get 6 to 12 inches of snow
during the next few days with winds up to 40. A lightning bolt can
produce an electrical charge as much as 300 million volts. That is
why I am so afraid when it starts popping. Coldest in the lower 48
this morning was 16 at Houlton, Maine. The wind chill at Deadhorse,
Alaska was 60 below.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: I sure did enjoy Friday and Saturday
at Mississippi State University for the Annual Severe Weather
Symposium. Lots of great information. A weather person would be a
fool if they did not try to continuously learn something new.
Mississippi State is a beautiful clean campus and well landscaped.
Naturally, we had a bit of chow while over there, including our
traditional Friday night foray to Pap's Place in Ackerman for a big
feast. There were 19 of us. When I got home late Saturday night,
Little Miss Molly was the most excited in the nearly 5 years that we
have been blessed to have her. She only weighs 9 pounds, but she
jumped high off the floor at least 25 times without stopping. By
then, she was out of breath and I grabbed her and we did a lot of
hugging. After her quick treat, she made me play ball with extra
innings—the longest we had ever played. Then she got up in my ex-
recliner for a short nap only to insist on a second ballgame before
bedtime. I love it. Life goes on......
