MAYBE SOME RELIEF BY SATURDAY: About 20,000 acres of woodlands have
burned during our current dry spell. A no burn order continues for 43
of the 67 counties in Alabama, most of them over the western two-
thirds of the state. However, it would be wise to consider
significant fire danger in every county, because every section of the
state has a significant rain deficit so far this year. March has been
unusually dry and it is normally our wettest month.

RELIEF IN SIGHT: Not too sure how widespread the rain will be. It
appears that Saturday will bring us our best chance of rain and many
communities could get around ½ inch or so. The showers and storms
should extend into the nighttime hours Saturday. The Storm Prediction
Center mentions the possibility of a few severe thunderstorms over
the western two–thirds of Alabama Saturday. However, this is beyond
their normal time for specific outlooks, but it is something that we
will watch.

Meanwhile, temperatures will continue well above normal until
Friday. By Friday, some slightly cooler air will slip into the state
from the east. We call that the wedge effect since the cooler air
comes down the Atlantic Seaboard and presses westward. Our warmest
day should be Thursday with mid 80s. It will be at least 10 degrees
cooler Friday and Saturday.

A TRAGIC DAY IN ALABAMA: It was 13 years ago today on May 27, 1994
when a tornado destroyed the Goshen United Methodist Church near
Piedmont. 10 children, in the middle of an Easter program, were killed.

THE WORLD OF WEATHER: A snow survey this morning showed that only
8.4% of the lower 48 states had a snow cover. It was 42% at this time
last month. Recent warmth has really played havoc with snow cover.
However, a new storm is dumping heavy snow in the mountains of Utah
and Colorado. There will be thunder and lightning with the snow. As
much as 14 to 26 inches may accumulate in the Wasatch Mountains of
Northern Utah and up to 10 inches in Central Colorado. A Tornado
Watch was posted for this afternoon and early this evening for North
Louisiana and Southern Arkansas. Low temperatures this morning
included 18 at Redmond, Oregon and 24 below zero at Arctic Village,
Alaska.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Sure was saddened to hear that some
real close friends had to put down their dog, Freckles. We have
received e-mails from several other folks who have had to go through
the same terrible experience. Also dismayed by the unfolding tainted
dog food disaster. I cannot imagine going through with that. We have
only had Molly less than 5 years and the bonding between that little
girl and me continues to grow every day. It has already reached the
super glue status. Since I got home late Saturday night,, Little Miss
Molly will hardly let me out of her sight. That makes me feel real
good. Life goes on and Little Miss Molly makes life more enjoyable
for a lot of people, including thousands of our readers....
