SUNDAY LOOKS STORMY: After all of those illegal snow flurries moved
away yesterday, clouds moved out leaving us with a clear and very cold
night. There was a freeze all the way to the coast. Just a few of the
lows early this morning:

14 Remlap
26 Vinemont, Cottondale, Moody
17 Ashville, Hamilton
20 Huntsville
21 Birmingham Airport, Anniston
24 Montgomery
30 Mobile

With very dry air still entrenched over Alabama, the temperature will
drop to near freezing again tonight with possibly some upper 20s in
the NE Alabama valleys. The thermometer should recover to near 60
Friday, not quite that warm on Saturday and even milder on Sunday as
big storms approach from the west.

FOCUS ON SUNDAY: While we could have a few showers Saturday, the
main show should come on Sunday. A low-pressure area moving out of the
SW will move up across NW Arkansas and head toward Indiana over the
weekend. Here in Central Alabama, our main showers and thunderstorms
should be mostly Sunday afternoon and Sunday night and some of those
could be severe. The Storm Prediction Center has tentatively outlined
that part of Alabama from about Tuscaloosa and Birmingham southward at
a Slight Risk for Sunday. That is a tentative outlook at the moment.
Depending on a number of things, the Slight Risk area could possibly
be extended further northward later.

Again on Monday, we will have wrap around colder air pouring in and
there could be a few flurries over about the north one-third of the
state, but again no problem is expected.

THE WORLD AROUND US: Just got off the phone with my sister-in-law,
Peggy Siegel in Layton Utah, and she reports an average snow depth in
their yard of 4 feet with bigger drifts. It is also very windy. There
were whiteout conditions yesterday, which means you could lose your
sense of direction. There were numerous wrecks and about 6 people in
the area hospitalised. The storm was so strong that some schools had
to keep the children overnight. There was no way to get them home.
Early this afternoon, a wind gust of 71 mph was measured 5 miles east
of Ogden in the canyon. Those canyon winds can cause 18-wheelers to be
blown over on I-15 as it passes near the mouth of the canyon. We were
camping one night in Logan Canyon and the wind blew our tent away and
left us lying on the cold ground.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Did you notice that a beagle hound one
the big contest a day or so ago? Reports are that his personality made
him the crowd favorite. I was glad to see that, because usually it is
a high society dog that wins. Wonder if I could trade in Little Miss
Molly and get me a beagle hound? I would love to see Little Miss Molly
in a contest. I believe she could win over the judges in a flash. It
only took her 32 seconds to win me over when she walked into our house
5 years ago. Life goes on.....
