================================================

APRIL WEATHER IN MID MAY: The Regions Charity Golf Classic this
weekend at Ross Bridge Resort could not have custom ordered more
perfect weather for hitting that little round ball. It will be
virtually all sunshine with low humidity. Highs Saturday will be
around 78 and Sunday about 82. Of course, that is the same weather on
the menu for all of Alabama. Nights will be cool all the way into
early next week. By Sunday, highs should edge back up into the lower
80s and then the mid 80s on Monday and Tuesday. Our weather models,
that we lean on quite a bit, do not indicate any rain for parched
Alabama until about next Thursday. At that time, another cold front
will approach from the NW and probably move across Alabama next Friday.

Temperatures across Alabama are more like those in mid to late March
instead of the latter part of May. There was a distinct chill in the
air across Alabama early this morning. Just a few of the lows
included 41 at Ft. Payne Airport, 42 in Odenville and Vigo, 44 in
Black Creek, Crossville, DeSoto State Park and 47 in Anniston,
Decatur and Heflin. Birmingham had 48 and Tuscaloosa had 49. The dew
point today has been in the 40s and the wind was gusting as high as
20 mph at times. It is no wonder that a Red Flag Warning continues
for much of the state. Translation: no outdoor burning. Alabama has
been fortunate so far compared to South Georgia and Florida.

OUR WEATHER WORLD: On Mt. Washington, New Hampshire, if the sun had
been shining today, observers would have taken a sunbath. It was only
36 degrees and 9 mph winds…cold day in New England…out on Cape Cod a
cold rain in the 40s with gusts to 35 mph…in the war zone, 95 to 98
over the weekend in Baghdad heating to 105 to 109 Monday through
Wednesday…extensive showers brought at least temporary relief to
vicious wildfires in New Jersey…26 this morning near Yellowstone Park…
7 above zero in Nuiqsut and good old Deadhorse, Alaska…29 atop Mt.
LeConte in Great Smoky Mountain National Park…even on the Alabama/NW
Florida coast, dew point in the mid 40s today made it very
comfortable…did you know that last year Baldwin County produced more
peanuts than any county in Alabama with 81,498,000 pounds…Houston
County was second…Alabama was third in the USA with peanuts…Georgia
and Texas were the leaders.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Since her haircut, Miss Molly's big
eyes show better…I try not to look at her, because those eyes get to
me and I cannot tell her no…drove to the far end of Deerfoot Parkway
late yesterday for some ice cream at Dairy Queen. Had my first
Blizzard in my life. Glad my doctor, who has an office next door, did
not walk in and catch me. A delightful thing happened there. A lady
drove up in an SUV with a Great Dane in the back, so big that she
filled up the entire back seat and had to duck her head. That is, by
far, the biggest dog I have seen in my life. She is 6 years old and
loves ice cream. So the lady bought herself an ice cream cone and the
Great Dane a big cup of ice cream. The dog licked every bit of the
ice cream out of the cup. She looked like a great big gentle animal.
I would have given anything to see the expression on Little Miss
Molly's face if they could meet. Life goes on and I love life, even
though I need to avoid ice cream, pop tarts, sausage balls and
regular milk.
