================================================

GOOD RAIN EVENT TONIGHT: We are in an active weather pattern at this
time with a series of low-pressure areas tracking mostly across the
Southern and Central USA, which puts Alabama close enough to the
action to get some good rain amounts.

Our first good rain event is peeping around the corner. A line of
thunderstorms this afternoon extended from West Tennessee down across
Mississippi to South Louisiana. A Tornado Watch covered SE Louisiana
and extreme South Mississippi.

That line of storms will continue marching eastward crossing Alabama
during the night. The Storm Prediction Center has about the south half
of Alabama under a Slight Risk of severe weather. Much of that depends
on how far north rich moisture (higher dew points) can penetrate
inland. We believe the further south you go, probably the better risk.

RAIN ON OUR MIND: Everybody loves rain these days for obvious
reasons. The whole state should get rain overnight. It will be ending
over the eastern half of the state early tomorrow morning as a cold
front moves across. Here in Central Alabama, there is an excellent
chance that we could soak up between 1 inch and 1.50 inches overnight.
After that, scattered showers will start again Sunday afternoon and
Sunday night. We believe next Monday will present us with a good
chance of showers and possible thunderstorms and with some locally
heavy amounts of rain.

Friday will be a bit chilly with highs in the upper 40s, but look for
some mild temperatures in the afternoons starting during the weekend.
In fact, by Monday we look for upper 60s.

WINTER TWO-THIRDS OVER: According to weather people, we have only one
more month of winter. We consider December, January and February
winter and spring starts on March 1. That is not exactly what you will
find the calendar says.

STORM ALERT 2008: The first program is at 7:00 tonight at Oak Grove
High School in West Jefferson County. That school was destroyed by the
vicious F5 tornado in 1998. Be sure and get there early. There will be
some excellent segments, including a look back at that vicious tornado.

THE WORLD AROUND US: TV pictures show about 4 inches of snow in
Jerusalem—most unusual. A big segment of the Central USA into the NE
is facing another winter storm. It is getting to be a habit. Bitter
cold also. The high in Thief River Falls, Minnesota yesterday was 17
below. Coldest this morning was 32 below in International Falls,
Minnesota and 58 below at Chalkyitsik, Alaska. Buffalo received 68 mph
wind gusts out of the last storm. Did you know that the Amazon forest
was the world's largest absorber of carbon dioxide?

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Little Miss Molly spends so much time
sitting on my desk now that she keeps my desk clean by swishing that
little bushy tail—including my keyboards. She is a major hindrance to
my work, because I cannot resist stopping, hugging her neck and
talking to her. When she is on my desk, our eye levels are the same
and I cannot resist her charm. Life goes on......
