======================================================
THE ALABAMA STORY: West Alabama will not be quite as cold as it was
last night, but the eastern part of the state will be about the same.
It will be clear and scattered frost should develop before daybreak
with a better chance over the eastern counties and especially in the
valleys of North and East Alabama. By daybreak, a high-pressure ridge
should be in place from Boston to Birmingham and Atlanta. Southerly
winds will set in across Alabama soon after daybreak bringing a nice
afternoon warm up.
We expect low temperatures tonight in the mid 30s across Central
Alabama, but closer to freezing in the eastern and northeastern
valleys. That should be our last frost threat for quite some time,
possibly the last one until next season. Of course, in the weather
business we need to avoid the word "never."
THE FROST LAST NIGHT: It appears that we at least partially bit the
bullet last night. The wind held up long enough to keep most
communities from reaching the freezing mark, except for a few hours
toward daybreak. Here are a few of the colder temperatures:
28 Cottondale, Remlap
29 Bear Creek, Hamilton, Black Creek
30 Moulton, Concord/Hueytown, Munford
31 Russellville, Pinson, Tuscaloosa, Vinemont, Coker, McCalla,
Virginia Mines
32 Decatur, Huntsville, Ft. Payne, Cullman, Muscadine
The other temperatures were in the mid and upper 30s in most areas.
NEXT RAIN: At some point Friday, scattered showers and thunderstorms
will reach our area with probably the better chance in the afternoon
and at night. This may be another time that we should not use the word
never, but it does look like this Friday event will not be as strong
as the last two Fridays. Our best estimate this far ahead would be
about 1/2 inch of rain.
DROUGHT NEWS ENCOURAGING: The Birmingham Water Works has lifted
restrictions for their customers. Lake Purdy is full and Inland Lake
is almost full. Springville has received 15 inches of rain this year
and Birmingham Airport over 17 inches—almost double the amount we had
last year at this time. That Springville report is on Simmons Mountain
and much of that rain eventually winds up in the Lake Purdy water shed.
DREADING ARTHUR: That is the name of the first tropical storm or
hurricane of the 2008 season. It is only six weeks until hurricane
season will be here. We wonder how bad.
FINAL THOUGHTS: We just gotta visit Caribou, Maine where they still
have 14 inches of snow and 198 inches for this season—almost twice
last year. They should easily reach 200 inches.
MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: It is so quiet around our house that I
feel lost even if it is tax day. Little Miss Molly is at the PBS
(Puppy Beauty Shop) getting a summer cut. She will look about half her
size when she gets home. Instead of looking like a swamp rat, she will
look like my cute little girl. I cannot wait until she gets home—a
treat and big ballgame awaits her. Life goes on. JBE
