WHAT A SOAKING: If you lived in certain parts of the state, that is.
The extreme northern section of Alabama did not get that much rain
this morning, but much of Central and South Alabama got a good
soaking. Across the Tennessee Valley, amounts were closer to ¼ to ½
inch. A few of the heavier rain totals:
1.81 Moody
1.38 Springville/Simmons Mountain
2.14 Marion
3.39 Tuscaloosa Airport
1.56 Birmingham Airport
1.69 Shelby County Airport
1.07 Anniston Airport
We were especially glad to see Anniston get that much rain,
because they were running a deficit of around 4 inches. The heavy rain
in Birmingham today means the city now has a surplus of 1.75 inches.
The roughest weather today was down state where a Tornado Watch was
in effect for the extreme south. There were a number of Tornado
Warnings, but we do not have confirmed reports of major damage.
NOW WHAT? The low-pressure area and cold front were still to our
west and NW this afternoon, so there could be a few more showers this
evening. By daybreak, the cool front will be pushing through Central
Alabama and after that we expect dry weather on through the weekend.
Clouds will be breaking up tomorrow leaving almost all sunshine and
pleasant temperatures for Saturday. We believe Sunday and Monday will
be rain free with highs near 80. Look for some very pleasant
temperatures at daybreak Saturday with a low of about 49.
RANDOM THOUGHTS: The Southeast U.S. sure got a soaking in many areas
over the last two or three days…extremely heavy rain from East Texas,
across Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi and into Alabama today…the
Meridian area, in East Mississippi, was drenched with 4.28 inches of
rain this morning. Jackson received 2.04 and much of Central and East
Mississippi got 2 to 4 inches this morning…but, the prize winner is
still the Shreveport area where more than 10 inches fell during the
storm causing massive flash flooding…cold temperatures this morning
included 27 at Doe Lake, Spincich Lake and Raco all in Michigan…106
was the hot spot yesterday in Death Valley.
MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Yesterday was the most exciting day my
little 9-pound pal has had since she walked in our door nearly 6 years
ago and instantly won me over. On an early walk yesterday, she got to
see her ex-boyfriend Jo-Jo who she wanted to marry. We had not seen
him in 6 months, so Molly fell in love with a new doggy on the block
named Dino. He is a beautiful little Yorkie and he and Molly dearly
love each other. He passed by twice yesterday raising Molly's blood
pressure to the top. Meanwhile, some neighborhood kids were walking
their very large dog using only a collar. They rang our doorbell and
asked to borrow Molly's leash until they could get her home. Molly
always answers the doorbell like it is the end of the world and when
she saw that big dog, nose to nose, looking through the window this
would be her demise either from a stroke or heart attack. It went from
bad to worse. When she saw the big dog leave with her own leash, it is
the most upset I have ever seen her. Took a long time to calm her
down. Life goes on--never a dull moment with my little pal........
