THE ALABAMA STORY: It is a story that includes another round of
thunderstorms on Sunday followed by windy and colder weather Monday
and another good freeze Tuesday morning. In all of that mix could be a
few insignificant snow flurries early Monday morning. Temperatures
will drop to the low 40s tonight. However, a warm front will push back
northward Saturday afternoon permitting the temperatures to soar well
into the 60s. Low temperatures last night, in most areas, were above
freezing. However, there were some cold pockets over on the east side
of the state. It was 23 in Muscadine, 25 in Black Creek and 27 in
Munford and Reese City.

THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT: For Alabama, it appears that we could
have a few severe thunderstorms at some point Sunday or Sunday
evening. The better chance will probably be down over the south half
of the state. We cannot be absolutely sure of that until we see how
some things shape up to the west of Alabama tomorrow. The main surface
low-pressure area will be centered over SE Oklahoma late Saturday and
near St. Louis by daybreak Sunday. This will pull warm moist air
northward across Alabama, but it is not certain how much the dew point
will rise during the day. A cold front will reach Central Alabama
Sunday night. There is a possibility that the best time window will be
late Sunday morning through the afternoon. The Storm Prediction Center
has outlined a Slight Risk area from about Livingston to Calera and
Lafayette southward. It is early for that to be sealed in stone. The
slight risk area could possibly be moved a little bit northward later.
To the west, a Slight Risk area on Saturday will extend from Central
Texas to most of Louisiana and into South Arkansas with a Moderate
Risk over SE Texas.

THREE DOT STUFF: Writing this in incomplete sentences, so I can get
more in this little paragraph…coldest in the USA this morning was 31
below zero at Big Horn, Minnesota and 24 below at good old Deadhorse,
Alaska…a few snow totals, 50 on the ground at Whittier, Alaska, 45
inches at Nome, 47 at Valdez and 19 at Anchorage…Bangor, Maine has
received 74 inches of snow this winter, 30 inches more than they
should have by this time…Concord, New Hampshire had 33 inches on the
ground this morning…the first three hurricane/tropical storm names for
2008 will be Arthur, Bertha and Cristobal…did you know that the
Pacific Ocean was more than twice as large as the second largest
ocean, which is the Atlantic…the Pacific covers 60,060,700 square miles.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Quite a story out of South Texas where
the mayor of a town resigned after being accused of stealing her
neighbor's Shih-Tsu. That happens to be the kind of dog that Little
Miss Molly is. No danger of that happening in my tiny corner, because
everybody love Molly except a few that do not like any dogs. If Molly
were to get dog-napped, in some ways that would be as tough as losing
her to an illness because I would not know where she was or how she
would be treated. That little girl slept in until 11:00 this morning.
I miss those days when she was younger when she would jump up on the
king-sized bed, walk up my little body and poke me with her little
cold nose wanting to go at 4:00 a.m. She would not take no for an
answer, so away we went with her tail wagging and me shaking my head
to get ungroggy. Life goes on......
