================================================
DISCUSSING ALABAMA WEATHER: There is a lot to cover because we have
a changeable situation over the next few days. It involves showers and
thunderstorms occurring mainly Saturday and Sunday. Some of those
could linger into morning drive on Monday, but we believe most will be
out of here before you go to work or school. Then look for an
unseasonably chilly morning Tuesday. But, first things first.
The weekend showers and storms will be more numerous than we thought
earlier in the week, but they will occur on two occasions. We could
see a few isolated ones later this afternoon and this evening. Showers
and thunderstorms on Saturday will be scattered, but any one spot does
have a good chance of getting wet. Most of those may be during the
morning and midday. A cold front will push into this general area, but
pretty much dissipate.
A stronger front will move into NW Alabama on Sunday and move through
the state by Monday morning. This is going to set off a more
significant round of showers and storms. A few of those could be
strong. We think that the better chance of a thunderstorm on Sunday
will be from about noon until past midnight. With all of these showers
and storms added together, the projected rain amount for this part of
Central Alabama is around 1 inch. As you know, that can vary greatly
with thunderstorms involved.
THE TUESDAY MORNING CHILL: We are still looking for a low of 42 when
you go out to snatch the paper Tuesday morning. This is an average low
across Central Alabama. A high-pressure area will be centered right
over us, so there will be a temperature inversion. Do not be surprised
at all to hear some low temperatures around 36 to 38 in the
traditional colder spots in North and Central Alabama. However, the
old thermometer will rebound quickly reaching 70 during the afternoon.
WAR ZONE WEATHER: As I did last year during the hot season, I tried
to update Iraqi weather at least once a week. It is almost always dry,
but it is very hot in summer. At 9:00 tonight (yes, it is already past
9:00 there), it was 90 degrees in Baghdad. The projected high is 105
for both Saturday and Sunday.
ODDS AND ENDS: A risk of severe weather continues this afternoon and
tonight all the way from South Texas to Northern Michigan…heavy rain
overnight in those storms, where it was not needed, included 4.71
inches at Waterloo, Iowa and over 2 inches at Ft. Dodge and
Marshalltown…cold temperatures this morning 6 below at Alert at the
north tip of Canada, 34 in Old Crow, Yukon, 5 in Wainwright, Alaska,
11 in Worland, Wyoming and 84 below at Vostok, Antarctica…they expect
95 below at midweek.
MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Housecleaning time is a tense situation
for my little 9-pound pal, Little Miss Molly. When the mops come out
and the vacuum cleaner cranks up, she walks many steps trying to stay
out of the way. If the vacuum cleaner is running, that is the
equivalent of hearing thunder. She looks me up. If I am in my office,
she either crouches down under my desk or asks me to let her sit on my
desk. I much prefer her on my desk, because her swishing tail will
completely clean the keyboard on my MAC computer and she gets to look
out the window. Life goes on.....
