NO FROST ANYTIME SOON: We got a delayed report that the low
yesterday morning at Grantley in NE Alabama was 15. That made it the
coldest spot in the state. Not nearly as cold this morning. A few lows
included 28 in Muscadine, 32 in Munford, 33 in Black Creek, Anniston
and Montgomery and 47 at Birmingham Airport.
NOW ABOUT THE FUTURE: Looks like an extended period of mild to warm
afternoons and pleasant nights. Starting tomorrow high temperatures
will be consistently in the 70s, possibly all the way through the
middle of next week.
Our rainfall deficit is creeping back upward. As of today, Birmingham
was showing a deficiency of 2.24 inches since January 1. Our total for
the year so far is 12.38, however, last year on this same date we had
only received 6.57 inches, so at least we are off to a better start.
Brisk SW winds will be bringing in some moisture over the next
several days. We think showers will hold off until Friday night.
Probably our best chance of getting some showers and thunderstorms
will be on Saturday. It does not look like a long drawn out
significant rain event this time. We believe that the bigger amounts
of rain will be over the north third of the state, especially the
Tennessee Valley. This is due to a cold front trying to work its way
southward. It may not get into Central Alabama until about Saturday or
Sunday.
AROUND THE WORLD: Much of Northern Brazil gets over 80 inches of
rain per year. Almost all of that drains into the Atlantic by way of
the amazing Amazon River and its tributaries…we are quite concerned
about another potential heavy rain event where it is definitely not
needed. From about Little Rock across the south half of Missouri and
up the Ohio River Valley projected amounts for the next five days
between 3 and 4 inches. Not good news at all…NWS/Salt Lake makes a
specific forecast every day for Mirror Lake nestled in the western
part of the Uinta Mountains. Yep, we have been there too. Their high
for tomorrow should only be 28 and low tomorrow night 4 with snow…Kim
Sexton will be glad to know that there is still 67 inches of snow on
the ground at Whittier, Alaska…sure enjoyed our conference call with
LeeAnn Allegretto at the NWS Caribou, Maine last night. We will try to
check often, but they have already received 186 inches of snow this
season—the most of all time…94 in Death Valley was the USA hot spot
yesterday…cold spots this morning 3 above at Land O Lakes, Wisconsin
and 38 below at good old Deadhorse, Alaska.
MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: I have lived my entire life in this
state, seemingly before Columbus discovered America, but I have never
driven along County Road 18 branching off of Alabama Highway 9 between
Center Point and Piedmont. You follow CR18 to Gnatville and you can
get a good look at Weisner Mountain, elevation 1,894 feet to the west…
again, today, poor Little Miss Molly has been neglected by me. A trip
to St. Vincents East this morning followed by lunch and finishing the
weather work and I have to hit the road again this afternoon. Tomorrow
I will do double duty. I cannot describe how her disposition changes
when I go through the living area to get a cup of coffee and she
throws a ball at me, I put down my coffee cup and have a high
intensity game with her. It is absolutely the highlight of her life. I
suppose she will still want to be playing ball when she gets to be 15
years old, which is about equal to 80 years old for humatoids. Life
goes on and I hope it will be extra long with my little 9-pound
pal........
