...Weather Temporarily In A Rut...

CLEAR INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK: That means no rain. At one time not too
long ago, Birmingham had built a 5-inch rain surplus but as of today
we have chipped away to 3.36 excess for the year. We are still much
better off than last year. We have received 44.26 inches this year—
almost double the 23.52 that we had on this same date last year.
We have no rain in our forecast, at least through Monday, and very
little chance beyond that even into the middle of next week.

LAST NIGHT'S CHILL: It was our coolest morning so far this year. In
some of the valleys of NE Alabama, we came within 5 degrees of having
some scattered light frost. A number of communities reported lows in
the 40s and 50s were very common even down into South Alabama. We have
an exhaustive list of the low temperatures posted on the ABC 33/40
Weather Blog, but here are a few samples:

43 Muscadine and Broomtown
44 Ashland
45 Remlap, Cottondale, Troy
46 Brewton, Talladega, Ft. Payne
47 McCalla
48 Alexander City
57 Gulf Shores
60 Mobile

It could even be a degree or so cooler than that tonight. A fresh
supply of cool dry air will arrive tomorrow accompanied by brisk
northerly winds. Highs over the next couple of days will be close to
80 and then warming to the mid 80s Sunday and Monday.

NERVOUS COASTAL WATERS: This time we are speaking of the Atlantic
Coast and not the Gulf of Mexico. A well-defined low-pressure area was
about 100 miles off the coast of North and South Carolina this
afternoon moving WNW at 10. It is not yet tropical, but it acts like
one. It could still develop into a subtropical or tropical cyclone
later today or tonight. It doesn't matter, because it will still
produce strong winds, coastal flooding, high surf and dangerous rip
currents along part of the Atlantic Coast during the next couple of
days. There have been some 16-foot waves off shore and winds were
gusting between 50 and 60 mph in coastal areas of NE North Carolina
and Virginia. Meanwhile, the other low it seems like we have been
watching all year, has become slightly better organized and it may
become a tropical cyclone at any time. A reconnaissance aircraft is in
the storm now. Latest models generally take the center more to the
right than earlier projections toward the Canadian Maritimes.

GLOBAL ROAMING: The highest point in Utah is 13,528-foot King's Peak
in the Uintah Mountains in the NE part of the state. It is the only
mountain range in the USA that runs east/west. However, the Wasatch
Range, running north/south right through the heart of the state,
catches the first moisture from the Pacific Ocean…it was 37 this
morning on Mt. LeConte in Great Smoky Mountain National Park…16 at
Beaver, Alaska was the coldest in the USA…in the lower 48, it was 27
in Yellowstone Park (Jellystone to Yogi Bear) and also at Stanley,
Idaho.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: It was 2:32 a.m. I was sound asleep
dreaming about chasing drizzle, when Little Miss Molly stood up in the
middle of our bed and started barking like we were having burglars.
She jumped down on the floor and was pounding my side of the bed. I
got up, got dressed and took her into the living area. Seems she was
dying of thirst—that is all she wanted. As soon as she drank her
water, she zoomed up the steps to the majority owner's sewing room.
She loves that part of the house. It was back to bed for me with no
more dreams and I proceeded toward my automatic 5:00 a.m. wakeup. Life
goes on.
