FROST AND FREEZE TONIGHT: The growing season comes to an end as
temperatures drop to the freezing mark tonight over most of North and
Central Alabama. It was not the greatest of growing seasons by any
means because of the severe drought. Your specific location will
greatly determine how cold you get the next two nights. We are calling
for an average low of 30 across Central Alabama tonight and 29
Wednesday night. If you live on Red Mountain and Shades Mountain and
other higher terrain, you will not get that cold. To the contrary
there will be pockets of 23 to 28-degree cold in the better protected
North Alabama valleys. While the frost will be rather widespread, it
would be even more if there was a little surface moisture available.

The cold front swept across Alabama during the night and by tomorrow
afternoon it is projected to be all the way into Cuba and the Yucatan.
A high-pressure system will be right over us Wednesday night. That is
why we chose 29 for the low, as there will be very little wind and the
weather will be completely clear.

When that line of showers along the front moved into North Alabama
late last night, it simply turned over and played dead. The biggest
rain amount I could find was 0.15 at Meridianville north of
Huntsville. Several other places got barely enough to wet the pavement.

OUR WEATHER WORLD: That front set off some stronger storms to the
north of Alabama. Nashville was drenched with 1.65 inches of rain,
Crossville, Tenn., 1.31 and Percy Priest Dam 1.62. The low this
morning on Mt. LeConte in the Smoky Mountains was 21. They got 0.75
inches of rain. Hope for that ended before it dropped below freezing.
How about this, the first lake-effect snow tonight for places like
Booneville, New York with 2-5 inches. Cold spots this morning: 4 above
at Minot, North Dakota and 3 below zero at Northway, Alaska. The war
zone is finally cooling off. The high in Basrah, Iraq should be
between 85 and 89 for the next 5 days.

STORM ALERT XTREME: It will be Saturday at the BJCC starting at 8:30.
There will be a morning and afternoon training session by Brian Peters
and a lot more interesting weathers stuff. The Alabama International
Auto Show is one of the sponsors. Remember, if you attend the weather
program (which is free), you also get free admission to the
International Automobile Show.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Thanks to Bill Murray for subbing for me
yesterday. The majority owner had cataract surgery. We were away again
this morning on a 90-mile round trip for a follow up. A marked
increase in autumn foliage in the general area, but still way below
par. There are increasing indications that Little Miss Molly is even
smarter than I give her credit for. She knows I go back and forth
between my office and kitchen for at least 6 to 8 cups of coffee a
day. She places herself in the living area to where she knows I will
pause and give her a belly rub. I feel sure she has had an estimated
8,500 belly rubs in the 5 years we have had her. Life goes on......
