...Several Periods of Rain...

A STORMY FRIDAY: We are in for intermittent periods of rain between
now and Sunday night and it still looks like our main rain event will
be tomorrow. In fact, we will watch closely tomorrow for a slight
chance of a few of the thunderstorms becoming severe. The onset of the
rain seems to have backed off slightly. We may see a few showers late
tonight well past midnight. For Friday, the more numerous showers and
thunderstorms will be from midday on. The showers and storms will be
numerous at times. Rain will be locally heavy. Most of Alabama is
under a slight risk of severe weather for Friday. Some of the showers
will linger over into Saturday morning, then a break for the
afternoon, only to see some more showers, a fresh batch, arrive
Saturday night. Sunday promises to give us another good chance of
showers and finally the arrival of cooler air will put an end to that
for Monday.

RAIN AMOUNTS: We are still encouraged that a good part of North and
Central Alabama, including the I-20 corridor, will get as much as 2
inches of rain or more between tomorrow morning and Sunday. That will
be huge if we can get that much.

OUTLOOK FOR NEW YEARS DAY: Rather chilly with a morning low near
freezing and an afternoon high near 40. It will even get colder New
Years night dropping to the mid 20s.

FOOTBALL WEATHER: For the Independence Bowl in Shreveport Sunday
night, Alabama meets the Colorado Buffaloes for the 7:00 p.m. kick
off. It should be mostly fair and about 56 degrees cooling to 46 to 48
in the fourth quarter. 24 hours later, Auburn meets Clemson in the
Peach Bowl in Atlanta. The weather in Atlanta for Monday will be dry
with a high near 60 and low Monday night 35. Yes, I know, the game is
inside with no weather concern, but thought you might like to have the
outdoor weather, since you will not be in the dome all the time.

THE WORLD OF WEATHER: Would you believe that Kansas and part of
Oklahoma are going to get some more wintry weather? Snow should become
locally heavy after midnight tonight in Wichita with possible thunder
snow. 4 to 7 inches is expected by Friday morning; 2 to 3 inches for
Northern Oklahoma. It was 25 below zero at Antero Reservoir in
Colorado this morning. The coldest in Alaska was 33 below at Northway.
Kodiak Island, Alaska got 16 inches of new snow in two days. John
Oldshue would love to be there. Valdez has received 81 inches of snow
so far this season.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: It makes me feel real good to know that
Little Miss Molly truly loves me. We bonded immediately when she came
to live with us 5 years ago and the bond has grown stronger each day.
The few times I do get my recliner, she likes to come and jump up on
the footrest and nestle right up against my leg. In the big king-size
bed, she will often press her little body right up against me. I catch
myself awakening at intervals during the night and I always take time
to stroke Little Molly and give her belly rubs. You should hear her
moan and groan. She goes right back to sleep and I do too. Life goes
on and it is most enjoyable.
