======================================================
LAST FROST UNTIL AUTUMN? Cannot say absolutely 100% certain, but
there is an excellent chance that we will not see freezing
temperatures again until autumn. In extreme cases, we have had
temperatures around freezing the last weekend of March. That is quite
an anomaly.
There was scattered frost across various sections of North and
Central Alabama last night and there was a wide variation in
temperature due to a temperature inversion. Heavy frost was reported
at Muscadine and Hamilton. Just a few of the lower temperatures
included 27 in Muscadine and Hamilton, 29 in Black Creek, 30 in Coker
and McCalla, 32 in Decatur, Ft. Payne, Pinson and Concord, and 35 in
Scottsboro, Anniston and Tuscaloosa.
At one point, there was an 18-degree difference between Noccalula
Falls and the Gadsden Skycam only three miles apart.
Now let us turn our attention to a spring-like warm up. We will
recover quickly from those chilly temperatures and we will have highs
in the 70s the rest of the week. In fact, by Sunday a number of
communities will warm to the 80-degree mark or better.
OUR NEXT RAIN: Latest model runs have slowed the weather systems a
little. Now it appears that here in Central Alabama a round of
scattered showers and thunderstorms will be mainly Friday night and
extending into the early hours of Saturday. The showers should end
fairly early Saturday morning. If we had to guess how much rain we
will get from these storms, we would say about 0.80.
PROWLING THE NORTH AMERICAN LANDSCAPE: Caribou, Maine is not the
only place in the lower 48 that has had an overdose of snow this
season. Marquette, in the Michigan Upper Peninsula, has received 39
inches in the last two weeks and 205 inches for the season. That is
about 25 inches more than average. It is one of the snowiest locations
in the USA away from mountains…Las Vegas has received only 0.70 rain
this year—only about 1/3 of normal…not too far from Las Vegas, the
hottest in the country yesterday was 98 at Laughlin, Nevada…cold
temperatures this morning 4 above in Yellowstone National Park and 18
below at Point Lay, Alaska.
SUMMER WILDFIRES: Remember all those tragic brush fires in North
Texas and Oklahoma last summer, especially in the Texas Panhandle? In
the last 24 hours, the town of Ordway, Colorado had to be evacuated
because of raging brush fires. That is about 50 miles east of Pueblo.
HARD TO BELIEVE: On this date in 1880, a tornado at Marshall,
Missouri sucked a 39-foot well dry when it passed across. I have huge
doubts about that.
MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Goldwing Dave is the pen name for the
gentleman that reads our material daily. Yesterday he sent me 10
commandments for a responsible pet owner as dictated by the pet. Just
a couple of those and this is the pet talking: "My life is likely to
last 10-15 years. Any separation from you will be painful and do not
be angry with me for a long time and do not lock me up as punishment.
You have your work, your friends, your entertainments—but I have only
you." Great advice, Dave…Little Miss Molly always jumps with joy when
she gets home from an all-day visit to the PBS (Puppy Beauty Shop).
When we turn on to our street, she can hardly wait to get out of the
car and she looks for all of her friends as we drive down the block…
she looks so funny. There is too much commotion at the PBS for naps,
so she always takes long ones for a day or two. Last night she put
herself to bed on the king-size bed before any of us were ready to
turn in. I hope to start a round of ballgames with her today. Life
goes on......
