GOOD CHANCE OF SHOWERS TOMORROW: There is a cold front lurking NW of
Alabama. We think that after it crosses past the Tennessee River that
it will slow down and stall in the vicinity of Birmingham during the
day Saturday. Indeed, by late Saturday, it may have done a U-turn and
started back north. It is for that reason and other reasons that we
believe you will not need a heavy coat any time soon. We are
projecting temperatures above the 70-degree mark almost every day
through the end of next week. Nights will be fairly comfortable.
That front that we are talking about will increase our chance of
showers tomorrow. In fact, we can have some tonight. There could also
be a thunderstorm thrown in, but it does not look like a severe
weather situation. Also, do not look for a reservoir-filling rain
event. We will be lucky to get a half-inch through tomorrow. Our next
main rain event will be about Tuesday of next week. That could be a 1-
inch producer. A cold front is expected to move through Alabama next
Tuesday. That could cause our high temperatures to back off to the 60s
by next Wednesday.
A PROWL IN THE COUNTRYSIDE: I hope you do not mind these daily trips
to other parts of the country and even to other parts of the world. I
am extremely fascinated by geography. I would really have enjoyed
travelling the world with the famous CBS guy, Lowell Thomas, or being
a staff photographer for National Geographic Magazine. Matt Marshall,
our daily reader and contact in Layton, Utah, says that part of his
work area is on the mountains facing south across the Bear River
Valley. He said the visibility was so tremendous a few days ago that
he thought he detected the slight curvature of the earth with the
naked eye…too bad that the wrong places are going to get a lot more
rain. Louisville has already received 8.69 inches in March, more than
double their legal amount, and 15.74 inches. For the year already,
they have received 16.64 inches, a one-half foot surplus…Cincinnati
has been drenched with 9 inches in the last 4 weeks and almost 17
inches for the year…17 below zero in Stanley, Idaho this morning
nestled in the heart of the Sawtooth Mountains…there are tiny slices
of life that you always remember and one of mine was the first time I
drove in to Stanley, the population and speed limit were both 35…24
below zero was the coldest in Alaska at Nuiqsut…and Whittier still has
64 inches of snow on the ground—the most at any regular Alaska
reporting station, except the mountains.
MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: My little pal, Little Miss Molly, is so
attached to me that when I neglect her for a day or two at a time, she
sticks to me likc glue. Yesterday and today I could not go into any
part of the house without her shadow right behind me. When I took my
shower this morning, she followed me into the master bedroom, hopped
up on the king-sized bed and would not leave until I came out. I
wonder what her thoughts are. Does she think she is losing me as one
of her best friends or that I do not want to play with her anymore?
Tomorrow she will forget all of that, because I am going to play with
her so much she will beg for mercy. Sure enjoyed hearing James Spann
give a great speech today to the Center Point Fire Department at the
Clay Community Center. Inspired me no end. It was not all about
weather. Instead it was a great challenge to live your life like you
should and be willing to help others. Life goes on.....
