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

A MOSTLY SUNNY WEEKEND: A cold front was pushing SE toward Alabama
this afternoon. It was setting off a band of showers out front. Those
showers will be moving across our area late this afternoon and this
evening. There is an outside chance you will hear a peal of thunder,
but we think mostly just showers. The wind will shift around to the NW
late tonight and drop our temperature to near 40 by daybreak. It looks
like mostly sunshine for both Saturday and Sunday. The temperature
should recover to 64 tomorrow and a mild 70 on Sunday.

NOW THE ACTION PART: Another storm situation for early in the week.
Showers and thunderstorms will be moving eastward across the area
Monday and Monday night. We think most of the action will be from late
Monday afternoon until well into Monday night. This looks like another
severe weather threat. The Storm Prediction Center has placed Alabama
under a risk of severe weather for Monday. Before we can be certain,
we will have to watch the path of a low-pressure system to our west,
which will be moving toward the NE. We will be able to better define
that Sunday and Monday morning.

We do not expect much rain tonight—maybe 1/3 of an inch, but the
second system Monday and Monday night will give some areas around 1.50
inches of rain, which will further alleviate the drought situation.
Already we have seen some improvement.

Colder air will pour into the area after midnight Monday night. When
you get up Tuesday morning, temperatures will be in the mid 30s and
there could be some snow showers around the area. Those will occur
mainly Tuesday morning. We are forecasting a high of 42 on Tuesday,
but if the clouds hang tough, it could be closer to 39 or 40. That is
going to feel sharp after our Monday high of 71.

OTHER ALABAMA NOTES: One of the colder spots in the state this
morning was Muscadine, over in extreme East Alabama, with 26. There
was a big difference in temperature. Montgomery with 32 was 12 degrees
colder than Birmingham. Huntsville officially has had ½ inch of snow
so far this winter.

CONCORD, NEW HAMPSHIRE: This is our pick city to discuss some
interesting weather today. Concord is the capitol of New Hampshire
located over the southern part of the state on the Merrimack River.
Manchester is the largest city. In Concord, an additional 10 inches of
snow is forecast for tonight and Saturday. They had 13 below zero this
morning, but how about these numbers? They have already received 102
inches of snow this season. Their average by this date is 50 inches.
Last year by this time they had only received 19 inches…elsewhere
around the world, the coldest temperature in Alaska this morning was
39 below at Beaver, Alaska and the coldest in the lower 48 was 32 at
Berlin, New Hampshire.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Daylight Saving Time does not end this
Sunday, it is next Sunday, March 9. Woe is Miss Molly and me. We are
both great fans of Standard Time year round. But, we will still have
fun together and my motto is to spend more play time with her after
Monday's rough weather. Life goes on.....
