GOOD CHANCE OF SHOWERS MIDWEEK: Last night was overall the coldest
night that we have had since last spring. The old thermometer dropped
to freezing or lower all the way down to Mobile and several North and
Central Alabama locations had lows in the teens. We have posted an
extensive list of morning lows on the 33/40 Weather Blog, but here is
a small sampling.

16 in Hamilton and Cottondale
18 Concord and Remlap
19 Jasper
20 Mumford, Centreville, Sycamore, Pinson
22 Tuscaloosa, Decatur, Vinemont
23 Ft. Payne, Huntsville, Birmingham, Oneonta
26 Thomasville, Jackson, Geneva, Ashland, Alex City

This afternoon dew points were in the low 20s and upper teens. The sky
will be clear overnight with little or no wind and a high pressure
area slowly moving across Alabama. We believe temperatures will fall
to an average of about 26 across Central Alabama. There will be quite
a variation, as usual, between the colder valleys and ridges.

A milder trend will start Tuesday and by Wednesday, a few showers will
arrive. Those will increase Wednesday night. We believe that the best
time window for getting some rain from this next system will be
Wednesday night and Thursday. Rain amounts of ½ inch may be the norm
with this system. The next chance of decent rain will be with another
storm system over the weekend.

THE WORLD OF WEATHER: At least there is some good news. In Oklahoma
City, for example, the high is expected to be around 58 tomorrow and
60 by Wednesday. This will get rid of a lot of ice. The Oklahoma EMA
Office reported this morning that 126,174 homes and business
establishments were still without power across the state of Oklahoma.
That is a bunch, but a lot less than just a few days ago. The Great
Lakes and NE are in a mess from the latest storm over the weekend. One
of the heavier snow totals that we could find was 18 inches at Peru,
New York and West Topsham, Vermont. Boston got 9 inches, Saranac Lake,
New York 12 inches and Chicago 10 inches. Flurries here in the
Southeast Saturday night and Sunday morning left 3 inches of snow atop
Mt. LeConte in the Great Smoky Mountains with a low this morning of 3
above zero. If you were on Mt. Washington, New Hampshire today you
would be in a pickle. The wind has been gusting over 100 mph all day
with zero visibility in snow, blowing snow, freezing fog—you name it.
The temperature was as low as 15 below zero.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: For the first time last night, I
witnessed Miss Molly having a nightmare. About every 5 seconds she
would squeak like a baby mouse and shake a little. I would give
anything to know what she was dreaming about. It might have been
chasing the community cat or running for her life when a big dog came
charging through the hedgerow and tried to attack her when she was a
little puppy. That scared her so bad, that she jerked the majority
owner off her feet. She fell and broke her wrist. I finally pulled
Little Molly over against my chest and loved her. That briefly woke
her up and ended the nightmare. Life goes on.....
