...More Rain Late In The Weekend...

A STORMY FRIDAY: A Tornado Watch covered a good part of SW and
North/Central Alabama through the afternoon. There were at least two
Tornado Warnings during the day in Central Alabama. One was for Blount
and Marshall Counties before noon. The other one was this afternoon
for parts of Bibb and Perry Counties. We do not have any reports of
any significant damage today. Early this morning, hailstones ¾ inch in
diameter covered the ground at two locations in extreme NW Alabama. A
number of communities got beneficial rain today with some places
getting well over an inch. Late this afternoon, the line of storms was
across North/Central and Central Alabama and moving rather slowly
toward the east.

Off to our west is a cold front that will be moving through Central
Alabama tonight. This will temporarily end the showers for most of
Saturday. However, showers will start spreading back northward
Saturday night and there is a good chance of rain on Sunday,
especially through the morning hours.
Colder air starts spreading into the state on Monday and much of next
week will be generally dry. We will have some of our coldest
temperatures so far this season by next Wednesday morning.

OUTLOOK FOR NEW YEARS DAY: It looks dry, breezy and colder with highs
only in the 40s. We expect lows Tuesday night and Wednesday morning to
be in the lower 20s with maybe some teens in the North Alabama
valleys. On Thursday morning, a strong high-pressure area will be
nearby and it could be just as cold that morning.

THE WORLD OF WEATHER: South Florida was the warmest place in the country
yesterday with 85 at Marathon. The coldest in the lower 48 this
morning was 26 below zero at Gunnison over on the western slope in
Colorado. Much of the Rocky Mountain West is now snow covered. Denver
has a good blanket of snow and much of Utah, also. In Alaska, the
coldest this morning was 34 below zero at Umiat. Alta, a ski area in
the Wasatch Mountains of Northern Utah, has 53 inches of snow. It
dropped to 14 below zero in Bryce Canyon National Park in South Utah.

FOOTBALL WEATHER: For the Independence Bowl in Shreveport Sunday
night where Alabama plays Colorado, fair dry weather is expected. The
temperature should be in the lower 50s at kick off and in the middle
40s by the fourth quarter. Auburn meets Clemson in the Peach Bowl the
following night in Atlanta. Perfect weather for that because it is
played inside the Georgia Dome.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Another dreadful report about little
animal abuse. Police were looking for a person in Utah that threw
about 12 baby puppies in a trash bin. Most of them froze to death. I
do not see how in the world that person sleeps at night. Some people
have zero conscience. A busy, busy, busy day at the house of Little
Miss Molly and I have not even spoken to her today. Saturday will be
my big makeup day. I want to do all the walks with her and have as
many ballgames as she asks for. She deserves it. She misses me. She
has been nestled by my chair a lot today. Life goes on through storms
and sunshine.
