...Sharply Colder...

QUICK ACTING WEATHER CHANGES: I guess we could say the weather is
more exciting when it is in almost constant change. Sometimes that
excitement leads to disappointment as it did yesterday afternoon and
last evening as a line of very strong thunderstorms moved west to east
across the state. A Tornado Watch affected almost the south half of
the state much of the afternoon and well into the evening. There was
scattered wind damage, but by far it seemed rougher over the far
south. At 4:34 p.m., numerous trees were reported down in the vicinity
of Mobile Regional Airport. Winds were officially clocked at 57 mph at
the airport and to 74 mph of the east end of Dauphin Island. One of
our weather reporters clocked 2.33 inches of rain in less than an hour
at Semmes along with strong winds. Further north, there was a gust to
63 mph at the Demopolis Skycam and 56 mph at the downtown Birmingham
Skycam. The Tuscaloosa Fire Department reported power lines down in
the 500 block of 12th Avenue around 4:30. Most of the storms had moved
out of the state by late last night as much colder air began to pour
in from the NW. This is going to be a significant swing in
temperature. It was 73 in Birmingham yesterday afternoon, but it
should be around 25 by daybreak tomorrow. Temperatures today will
struggle to get out of the upper 30s in the Tennessee Valley along
with NW winds 12-25 mph. Do not be surprised to hear that there were a
few patches of light snow or light freezing rain as the precipitation
came to an end. It should be mostly sunshine later this morning and
just about all sunshine on Thursday.

MORE GOOD RAIN EVENTS: Showers will start again Friday afternoon and
increase at night. A good chance of showers also on Saturday becoming
more numerous Saturday night along with some thunderstorms and still a
good chance of showers and thunderstorms on Sunday. In all of this
across Central Alabama, the rain could amount to around 1.50 inches.

THE WORLD AROUND US: Numerous trees were uprooted at Brandon,
Mississippi late yesterday. In all, the Storm Prediction Center
received 10 reports of tornadoes and 79 wind reports. Most of these
came from South Louisiana and Southern Mississippi. The warmest
temperature in the nation yesterday afternoon was 88 at Edinburg and
McAllen in South Texas. In Anchorage, the high temperature has
averaged 12 degrees colder than average over the last three weeks.
That is most unusual. Not as cold in Alaska now as it was a few days
ago.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: One of our good friends got a good
report yesterday that their little doggie named Penny was okay. We had
all been worried for a time. Little Miss Molly had a typical day—
eating, sleeping, playing, barking, security detail. She has taken
full responsibility for keeping us all safe. If anybody comes down the
walking track, she lets them know that they are not welcome unless she
knows them. But she has a host of friends that she wants to run out
and have them give her a belly rub and scratch her head. Life goes on.
