================================================
ALABAMA DISCUSSION: The weekend weather across Alabama does not look
as bright as it did earlier, as we expect showers and thunderstorms to
occur both Saturday and Sunday. A cold front will be advancing toward
Alabama on Sunday. This will increase the number of showers and
thunderstorms later in the day Sunday and on Sunday night. By Monday
morning, the front should be in NW Florida and we will see a
noticeable change to cooler weather. In fact, the high on Monday
should not get out of the 60s. This is not going to be a long drawn
out cool spell. Tuesday morning will clearly be our coolest time with
lows dropping into the 40s over a large part of North and Central
Alabama.
We cannot rule out some upper 30s Tuesday morning in the
traditionally colder North and Central Alabama valleys, especially in
places like Valley Head, Bridgeport, Ft. Payne, Hamilton and Pinson,
just to name a few.
This, of course, is race weekend at Talladega. Wish we could promise
sparkling dry weather, but that is not the case. In any event, it will
not be an all-day rain on either day.
THE CENTRAL ALABAMA RAIN SITUATION: The rain deficit for 2008 is now
1.19 inches at Birmingham Airport. We should get a decent amount of
rain over the weekend. Some places will get as much as 3/4 inch.
SCANNING ALL DIRECTIONS: Leadville, up in the Colorado Rockies, will
get 1 to 3 inches of snow tonight along with thunder and lightning and
a low near 15…Ogden, in North Utah, expecting 2 inches…in Yellowstone
National Park 3 to 5 inches of new snow is expected with a low in the
teens…bad weather in the Central and Southern Plains yesterday…
numerous reports of very large hail from North Texas to Nebraska,
especially over North Texas…at one time, hail golf ball to baseball
size covered I-20 near Gordon, Texas with winds gusting to 60 and 70
mph…that will break your windshield in no time flat…over 3.50 inches
of rain at Ft. Worth/Alliance Airport and at McKinney, Texas…Tulsa got
2.74 inches…cold temperatures this morning 16 at Truckee, California
and 12 at Savoonga, Alaska.
MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Driving across Deerfoot Parkway several
times lately, it is amazing how the countryside greened up so quickly…
lush greenery everywhere. I love huge water oak trees and one of my
favourites is in an open pasture south of Springville west of US-11…I
just have to get out my first ever digital camera, my Christmas
present, and get busy…have not even shot a picture of Little Miss
Molly with it. That little girl has variable habits. Sometimes she
gets up very early; at other times she sleeps until 10:00. At other
times, she gets up and immediately crawls in bed again with our
granddaughter. Walking with her lately has been rather routine. Her
little Yorkie boyfriend comes down the street in front of our house
every afternoon and anxiously looks for Molly just like she does when
walking behind his house on the walking track. They are as close pals
as two dogs can get. Life goes on.....
