COOLER AIR FROM THE EAST BY FRIDAY: Nearly ½ inch of rain fell over
extreme NW Alabama during the night, but almost everybody else
remained high and dry. Today was the 27th day with no measurable rain
at Troy in SE Alabama and it was the 12th day in a row with no rain
in Tuscaloosa. The rain deficit across Central Alabama is now about
8.50 inches. This is quite significant. Much caution is advised in
the dry woodlands. Numerous counties in the state are under a no burn
order. Temperatures continue far above normal. The high tomorrow will
be close to 15 degrees warmer than it should be for late March. We
are watching a strong high pressure area centered over SE Canada SE
of Hudson Bay. It is a 1044 mb high, which is as strong as we often
see in winter. Colder air is beginning to press down over the NE U.S.
The high will bulge southward down the Eastern Seaboard and send
Alabama some cooler air from the east by Friday.

WHEN IT WILL RAIN AND HOW MUCH: The sequence of events has slowed.
The chance of any significant rain is nil through Friday. A cold
front will be pushing toward the SE on Sunday. We think our better
chance of rain will be Sunday and Sunday night, however we expect
some showers and maybe a thunderstorm late in the day on Saturday and
Saturday night. We will do good to get about ½ inch of rain from all
of this. I need to correct something that I wrote yesterday when I
mentioned a tornado that destroyed the Goshen United Methodist Church
near Piedmont. It was a Palm Sunday disturbance instead of Easter.

AT THE BEACH: Because the water temperatures over the Northern Gulf
are still relatively cool, high temperatures along the immediate
beach area will be in the upper 70s all the way through next Tuesday.
Inland, just a few miles, they will be in the lower 80s. Little or no
rain until a slight risk on Saturday. Scattered showers and storms on
Sunday and Monday.

THE WORLD OF WEATHER: Buffalo, Wyoming was reporting ¼-mile
visibility and heavy snow and gusts to near 50 mph. That is a big
storm over the Rockies and Northern Plains. Blizzard conditions are
expected in places like Sheridan, Wyoming and snowdrifts could reach
3 to 6 feet. Heavy snow also over other parts of the Rockies. In
Northern Arizona, Flagstaff has received only 47 inches of snow this
season. They should have had 94 inches by today. Cold temperature
this morning 33 below zero at Colville Village, Alaska. An outbreak
of severe thunderstorms and tornadoes possible from NW Texas into
parts of Nebraska this afternoon and tonight.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: I am still dismayed at the dog food
danger situation. I just do not understand how rat poison could have
gotten mixed with so much of the food. I dread the next several
months as more and more dogs and cats do not make it. As far as we
know, we are safe with Little Miss Molly since she never has anything
but dry dog food. Have you ever gone shopping and felt a little
uneasy about so many surveillance cameras? Well, I have a constant
live surveillance camera in the form of Little Miss Molly. She has
eagle eyes and she keeps them focused on me every time I move. I
cannot even go out and get the newspaper and mail without her
pressing her little face to the front door window and watching my
every step. I guess it is good to be loved by a little 9-pound
dynamo. I must admit I like it. Life goes on......
