..Dry Weather For Several More Days...

A BREEZY, COOL EASTER SUNDAY: Generally pleasant weather is the story
for Alabama on this Easter weekend. Another cold front will move
through Central Alabama today bringing a fresh supply of cool air, but
the atmosphere is too dry for it to kick off some showers. Our
temperature will edge up to 70 today, but it will be at least 10
degrees cooler for Easter Sunday. In fact, when you get up early
tomorrow, the temperature will be in the upper 30s. Moderating
temperatures will start Tuesday afternoon and stay in the low to mid
70s the rest of the week.We must also caution for the possibility of
some scattered light frost both Monday morning and Tuesday morning,
mainly in the low-lying areas. We are calling for an average low
across Central Alabama in the mid 30s, but some of the traditional
cold spots, like Valley Head, Bridgeport and even Pinson, could have
lows around 31 or 32. Tender vegetation may need to be protected. We
do not see any big rain events on the horizon at the moment, but we
could have a slight chance of light rain late Wednesday and maybe some
showers on Thursday.

AT THE BEACH: Mostly sunny weather over the Easter weekend. That will
be the story for most of next week and not much chance of any showers
or thunderstorms until very late in the week. The nights will be cool,
but most high temperatures will be in the low to mid 70s. The water
temperature is still rather chilly.

WEATHER NOTEBOOK: Not a pleasant Easter weekend for several million
people fighting major flooding in the central part of the USA up into
the Midwest. Dozens of communities are having record floods. Thousands
of homes will be virtually ruined by the high water that is up to the
eaves in many cases. The Mississippi River will go above flood stage
all the way down to Louisiana…10 more inches of new snow in Milwaukee
yesterday brought their total for the season to 94 inches—more than
double the normal amount…Chicago got 5 inches Friday bringing their
total for the year to 58 inches…in Alaska, one of the heavier amounts
of snow on the ground in populated areas was 65 inches at Whittier.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: In the last several days, I have made
special efforts to spend more time with my 9-pound pal, Little Miss
Molly, including a number of ballgames. Yesterday, I played ball with
her so long that she was the first one to cry wolf and just plop down
and took a nap. She loves her naps and will often take a 3-hour nap in
the middle of the day, especially if she has had a busy morning.
However, the minute she wakes up, she is gung-ho to go again. I need
to be younger to keep up. Life goes on.
