NOT AS COLD TONIGHT: Yes, it was cold across Alabama again this
morning. In some areas, especially east, it was colder this morning
than yesterday morning. Here are a few selected lows:

16 Hamilton
18 Valley Head, Muscadine
19 Jasper, Sylacauga
20 Ashland, Centreville, Scrougout, Gaylesville
21 Cottondale, Remlap
24 Moody, Pinson, Clanton, Decatur, Alexander City

This was also a morning with temperature inversions. It was 14 degrees
warmer atop Mt. Cheaha with 36 than it was in Mumford not far away
with 24.

It will not be as cold tonight. A rather broad band of cloudiness to
our west will slowly spread eastward overnight. There could even be a
sprinkle, although we do not have it in the forecast.

TWO RAIN EVENTS: While we will have a slight chance of showers
Wednesday, there will be a much better chance on Thursday, which would
also include a few thunderstorms. We believe that a good part of this
area will get around ½ inch of rain. Turning dry again on Friday only
to quickly go back to scattered showers and thunderstorms Saturday and
Saturday night. We believe that second rain event will occur mostly
Saturday afternoon and Saturday night. Meanwhile, temperatures will
stay fairly comfortable considering it is late December. By Thursday,
the highs should be around 60 and even in the mid 60s on Saturday. We
look for cooler weather Sunday as the rain ends early in the day and
clearing.

THE RAIN SCORECARD: The 2007 rain deficit as of today had reached an
amazing 31.16 inches at Tuscaloosa Airport and 30.15 at Anniston. We
can almost give you a written money back guarantee that 2007 will go
down in history as our driest year ever. Then we look westward
lustfully at Oklahoma City, where they now have an excess of 22 inches
having received 56.84 inches this year.

THE WORLD OF WEATHER: The snow survey today showed that 51% of the
lower 48 states had a snow cover down from 57% yesterday. There is a
heavy snow pack in many of the western mountains. A couple of
examples: 207 inches on the ground at Dollarhide Summit, Idaho and 106
inches at Crazyman Flat, Oregon. Those are remote areas with automated
stations that report snow pack. In the NE, much of the area is still
heavily snow covered. 22 inches on the ground at Caribou, Maine.
Coldest temperature this morning included 19 below zero at Whitefield,
New Hampshire and 36 below at Bettles and Nuiqsut, Alaska.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: For the second night in a row, Little
Miss Molly had a nightmare around 2:30 a.m. She squeaked like a mouse
and suddenly jerked. I pulled her over and loved her and settled her
down. There were 14 humans sleeping here last night, including Little
Miss Molly. We have a large living area and the traffic resembled the
intersection of US-280 and I-459. When I went to bed at 11, Molly
strongly petitioned me to put her up on the bed out of all of the
noise and confusion. Life goes on. Molly loves a quiet and restful
atmosphere.....
