...Several Rain Events...

ALABAMA WEATHER TRENDING WETTER: We look for at least four rain
events across Alabama between now and before the weekend is over. At
some point along the way, we may get between 2 and 3 inches of rain.
The latest estimate, from the NWS unit that estimates rain amounts,
shows about 3.50 inches across Central Alabama and much of North
Alabama between now and early Monday. As we have said many times, we
have to use those estimates with caution. A number of things could
happen that could cut down on the amounts.Much of East Alabama got a
slow, steady, cold rain yesterday with ½ to 2/3 of an inch fairly
common. West Alabama did not get any. Already, the next storm system
is approaching from the west. By mid afternoon today, a broad band of
showers, along with a few thunderstorms, had spread across Louisiana
and entering Mississippi. Those showers and storms will move east
across Alabama tonight. We will get a break during the day tomorrow
only to see showers and thunderstorms again by late Thursday night.

OUR BIG DAY FRIDAY: We still believe that Friday will bring our most
beneficial rain. Showers and thunderstorms will be numerous at times
and a number of locations should receive well over 1 inch. After those
move away, most of Saturday will be dry, but a chance of showers again
Saturday night and a good chance on Sunday. Meanwhile, temperatures
will be moderate. Most of the high temperatures for the next five days
will vary from 58 to 64 and lows at night mostly in the 40s. We do not
see a sharp change to colder until Tuesday or Wednesday of next week.

OUR WEATHER WORLD: Southern California has been pestered with the
Santa Ana wind over the last couple of days. A peak gust of 107 mph
was clocked at Thousand Oaks. Denver dropped to 2 above zero this
morning and they had their biggest Christmas snow in many years.
Another storm system was expected to dump between 10 and 20 inches of
snow over parts of Northern Utah and Western Colorado. Warmest in the
USA for Christmas Day was 81 at Ft. Lauderdale and Ft. Myers, Florida.
Cold temperatures this morning included 17 below at Alamosa, Colorado
and 35 below at Kaltag, Alaska. Our pick spot for the day, where you
would not want to be, is Cold Bay, Alaska with snow, blowing snow and
fog and wind gusts as high as 69 mph.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: We only got a trace of drizzle in NE
Jefferson County last night. All of the good rain amounts were to the
east and those were sort of illegal, because we did not have them
properly forecast. Got a chance to walk with Little Miss Molly
several times Christmas Day and it is the most refreshing thing I do
on most days. She has had a lot of luck meeting her little boyfriend,
the Yorkie, partway up the walking track. Even if she does not see
him, she plops down overlooking his backyard and cries like a baby
hoping he will come out. I have still not fired up my first digital
camera, but I am going to right away, with one of the first pictures
being the Old Crow Motel that Molly and I enjoy passing by every day.
Life goes on.
