An HIV vaccine is our only hope of ending the AIDS epidemic!
====================================================

ANOTHER EXCELLENT FOOTBALL WEEKEND: Who cares about football? We
would rather have rain. Looks like we have a good chance of both. Some
showers and thunderstorms were working their way into NW Alabama this
afternoon. They will continue pushing toward the SE. We believe they
will decrease in number and not give us a decent soaking tonight. The
situation looks better later Wednesday and Wednesday night. This is
because a strong cold front will be pushing SE reaching Arkansas and
NW Tennessee tomorrow and moving across Alabama Wednesday night. Along
and in advance of this front may be our best chance for rain in
several weeks. Here in Central Alabama, some of those showers and
storms may show up by midday Wednesday, and gradually increase later
in the afternoon with our best chance Wednesday night. One of our
weather models suggests that we could get one inch of rain during all
of this. We have seen that not come to fruition on a number of
occasions. We toned it down a bit and suggest a storm total of about
1/2 inch. The ground is dry as a bone so it will gobble up any rain
that comes. Bottom line: it will hardly make a dent in the drought.

WINDY AND MUCH COOLER: That is the story for Thursday with highs only
in the upper 50s. Friday and Saturday should be mostly sunshine with
lows in the 30s and highs in the 60s. The weekend looks good for high
school and college football games, but we will have a more specific
football forecast in our Thursday editions.

A WEATHER MOMENT: Down slope winds on the east side of the Rockies are
called the Chinook, and the temperature heats by compression as the
winds reach lower altitudes. This morning, gusts were 50-60mph over
Eastern Montana.

OUR WEATHER WORLD: Sweet Grass, Montana strong winds with a wind chill
of 22. I love those kinds of place names. I wonder how Swift Current,
Saskatchewan was named that? Coldest in the lower 48 this morning was
14 at Sparta, Wisconsin. Coldest in Alaska was 20 below zero at
Chandalar Lake. Nearly 4% of the lower 48 has a snow cover this
morning. 14 inches fell in the last 24 hours at Sylvania,
Pennsylvania. Up in Northern Canada, temperatures have dropped as low
as 42 below at Eureka as the change in season becomes more assertive.
It was 57 below at Summit, Greenland on the Ice Cap.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Little Miss Molly has had a busy, busy 24
hours. We nestled her down on the king size bed four times last night
only to see her bail out and scratch at the door wanting to go back
into the living area where the grandkids were sleeping. We were away
all day yesterday due to the death of a very close friend. The
majority owner fell when she came out of the church and landed on the
knee that had surgery and she may have a cracked her wrist. The knee
was not hurt but it gave us a scare. We had been gone so long that we
gave Molly a full-size treat when we got home and a long extended
belly rub. Life goes on......
