A SOAKER TONIGHT AND FRIDAY: Some of the weather guidance we always
look at has backed off just a bit on the expected rain amount across
Central Alabama from our current storm system now underway. However,
we still think that some communities will get about 2 inches before
the rain diminishes later in the day Friday. Mixed in with that will
be some locally strong thunderstorms. The atmosphere is rather stable
today. Temperatures this afternoon were only in the 40s over NE
Alabama, mostly 50s through the rest of the state, except 60s near the
coast.

A developing low-pressure area will pull a warm front northward
tomorrow. The low will move up across North Mississippi. Our
atmosphere will be more unstable tomorrow and we may have some strong
thunderstorms. The Storm Prediction Center has approximately the south
half of the state under a Slight Risk for tomorrow.

Showers and thunderstorms should be numerous tomorrow morning, but
decreasing in number by mid to late afternoon. Winds will shift around
to the NW late Friday afternoon bringing us cooler weather but nothing
unusually cold.

As of midday, 2/3 of an inch of rain had fallen in Mobile. We got a
report of 2 inches on Dauphin Island. Most of the rain amounts across
Central Alabama varied from 1/3 to ½ inch with very little so far in
the Tennessee Valley.

THE WEEKEND: We think Saturday and Sunday will be dry with highs in
the 50s. We also believe our next big rain event will be delayed
slightly and occur mainly on Tuesday. Some showers could possibly
start late Monday night.

STORM ALERT 2008: It will get underway at 7:00 tonight at Lineville
in Clay County. This is the next to last program. The doors open at
5:00, so it is important to get there early to get a good seat. There
will be some prizes and some T-shirts plus some interesting and very
important stories on how you can stay safe during periods of severe
weather.

NUTS AND BOLTS: Almost 2 inches of rain overnight in Houston…bitter
cold again over the Upper Midwest…31 below zero in Land 'O Lakes,
Wisconsin…that was 20 degrees colder than the coldest in Alaska…50
inches of snow on the ground in Nome…Barrow is famous for its long
period of total darkness in winter…but today their sunrise was a 9:37
and it will not set until 5:47 p.m.…here in Alabama, the days are
getting longer and longer…woe is me because I love winter…our sunrise
tomorrow will be at 6:24, which is 28 minutes earlier than back in
midwinter…sunset will be at 5:37, which is 58 minutes later than our
shortest day.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Little Miss Molly loves the rain. She
is just like a little kid who likes to paddle in the water. Often, she
will leave the walking track to splash through some standing water.
When she gets wet, she smells more and more like a dog. I guess that
is the way they are supposed to smell. I love their smell. On our last
walk, we saw about 7 old crows. Glad to see them back. They are a part
of our community as well as the community can and a few community
rabbits. She loves to chase both of those. Life goes on rain or
shine......
