...A Dry Christmas Day...

GOOD CHANCE OF RAIN LATE THIS WEEK: Some middle clouds moved across
Central Alabama today, more than we had expected, so it did not get
quite as warm as we had anticipated. At mid afternoon, it was only in
the upper 40s over the north half of the state and in the lower 50s
down south. We do expect some break in the clouds tonight. With the
air still being very dry across the area, we expect low temperatures
by morning to be around 30 and some of the colder valleys could have
upper 20s.

CHRISTMAS DAY: The old thermometer should top out close to 60. We
expect considerable sunshine, although there will be some clouds at
times. Dry weather is expected on Wednesday and then we get into a wet-
weather pattern starting on Thursday. We believe that we have a good
chance to get a good rain event in the Thursday/Friday timeframe. The
total for those two days could exceed one inch. Latest indications are
that Saturday will be dry.
Low temperatures across the state this morning included some upper
teens in some of the colder spots in NE Alabama. It was 23 at Gadsden
Airport, 24 in Anniston, Moody and Jasper, 25 in Decatur, Haleyville
and Troy, and 26 in Huntsville and Tuscaloosa. A little further south
it was 27 in Birmingham and Montgomery.

THE WORLD OF WEATHER: Most of the USA was free of thunderstorms
today. That is fairly rare, even in mid winter, but not unheard of.
Some folks were still having winter weather problems, but the heavy
snow and high winds of recent days were not near as prominent as
today. This afternoon there was snow over upstate New York and over
parts of the Mountain West, especially Northern Utah and SE Idaho. The
coldest temperature in the lower 48 this morning was 22 below zero at
Alamosa, Colorado. That city is in a high mountain valley in the south/
central part of that state. It was 32 below at Alaska at Chalkyitsik.
Valdez has 23 inches of snow on the ground. The NWS in Kodiak posted a
Heavy Freezing Spray Warning with lots of snow and 18-foot seas. Wind
gusts tonight could reach as high as 80 mph.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: What a day, what a day! This was our
designated Christmas and we had 21 people in Molly's house for a big
Christmas meal and opening of presents. I wish you could have seen
Molly. Over half of the people here were youngsters and we noticed
Molly seeking out hidden corners to try to have some peace and quiet.
One of my presents was a digital camera—my first one ever. So, I am
being dragged kicking and screaming into the digital age after
spending years and years doing a lot of photography with film cameras.
First thing I am going to photograph is not our new grandbaby.
Instead, I want to get a sunrise silhouette of the Old Crow Motel.
Little Miss Molly has been cut way short on her daytime naps because
of all the noise and traffic. People were moving around in our house
past midnight last night, so she was glad to retreat to the master
bedroom for a little peace and quiet. No time for a ballgame with her
today. It was wall-to-wall work. But life goes on and this is a very
special season and time to be thankful.
