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

COULD GET TWO INCHES OF RAIN NEXT SEVERAL DAYS: Our weather is on a
roll and between now and late next Monday we will have at least two
batches of strong thunderstorms. A dry Friday and possibly a wet
football game. We will try to sort all of that out, but some of it is
not sealed in stone. For example, the last two model runs tended to
back up a bit on the steadier rain Saturday. We believe now that the
most extensive rain for the weekend event will be Saturday night and
extending into Sunday. It is too early to be totally specific on the
Auburn/Alabama game in Auburn Saturday night, but there is a good
chance that rain will become steady by that time with game-time
temperatures in the chilly 40s with a brisk east wind. We will try to
be more specific about the Auburn game as well as UAB at Marshall
University in our editions tomorrow.

RISK OF SEVERE WEATHER: We cannot rule it out tonight and again at
some point late in the weekend. The Storm Prediction Center has
outlined a slight risk for almost all of Mississippi and extreme West
Alabama for tonight. The updated outlook includes places as far east
as Florence, Hamilton, Tuscaloosa and Demopolis.

A strong cold front will be approaching from the NW overnight. This
will be one of the triggers for these strong thunderstorms. The most
popular thinking is that the front will reach the Birmingham area
around daybreak tomorrow. Showers and thunderstorms will be numerous
at times overnight, but will gradually diminish late tomorrow morning.
Thanksgiving Day is going to be rather raw with NW winds frequently
over 20 mph and with falling temperatures. We believe the temperature
will level off around 52 for most of the afternoon, but it could be as
low as the upper 40s. See our day-by-day forecast for all of the
details. There are some indications that the severe weather
possibility and heavy rain event planned for Sunday may be delayed
until Sunday night into Monday. The projection is for us to get as
much as 2 inches of rain.

MISCELLANEOUS: Memphis received 2.59 inches of rain early today. A
Tornado Watch was posted this afternoon for most of East Arkansas and
a Severe Thunderstorm Watch covered about the NW half of Louisiana in
extreme East Texas. Early this afternoon temperatures were in the 30s
over NW Arkansas and as low as 22 in Cheyenne. It dropped to 6 below
zero this morning inside Yellowstone National Park and at Northway,
Alaska.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Thanksgiving is one of only two times in
the year that I allow myself to eat sausage balls. Poor Little Miss
Molly will not get any due to a strict rule by the majority owner, but
I may slip her one-half of one. She looks up yearningly at times like
that. Sure enjoyed my morning walk with her. For the first time in a
long time, we encountered the CC (Community Cat). I believe Molly
realized that she was supposed to chase cats after she was a couple of
hours old. She charged toward the cat from about five different
directions, but stopped five feet away. The cat held its ground. Molly
finally gave up and trotted down the walk like she had won the battle.
Life goes on. ....
