...Time For A Change In Weather...

BEST CHANCE OF SHOWERS FRIDAY: A storm system was trying to get all
of its troops in line in the Rockies and Western Plains to start an
eastward march. This storm system is going to bring foul weather to a
rather wide area. By daybreak, the main low-pressure area should be
near Omaha and Wichita and by late Wednesday over Missouri and Iowa.
On Thursday, the low sort of stalls in Kansas and Missouri, but it
pushes a cold front eastward into the southeast states. Meanwhile, an
increase in SE wind flow will transport a lot of moist air into Alabama.

WHAT DOES ALL THIS MANEUVERING MEAN: We believe some showers will
reach Alabama later in the day Thursday and Thursday night. All the
data that we can digest points to Friday as the best day for rain and
there could also be a few thunderstorms involved. So far, the Storm
Prediction Center has not outlined any part of Alabama for a severe
weather risk on Thursday. We believe the atmosphere will remain stable
enough to prevent that.

HOW MUCH RAIN: We will say an average of about 1 inch across Central
Alabama for the whole system. A few of those showers may hang around
until early Saturday morning and then clouds should decrease. We will
have a complete football weather forecast in later editions, but it
appears that high school games Friday night may have to deal with
showers. Saturday
afternoon college games look okay.

TROPICAL WEATHER: A large area of uncomfortable weather persists over
the NW Caribbean. The whole mess is drifting west. There appears to be
little chance for development into a tropical depression or tropical
storm.

SEVERE WEATHER: Big snow event for parts of the Plains and Rockies
from this system. Out on the Plains, a slight risk of some severe
thunderstorms over Eastern Colorado, the west half of Kansas, and
Western Oklahoma by tomorrow shifting as far east as NE Texas on
Thursday.

GLOBAL ROAMING: Speaking of roaming, we did some last night, but it
covered only one-zillionth of the globe. Tim Coleman along with ABC
33/40 Skywatcher, Wally Coker and I did a temperature study up and
down the ridges of NE Jefferson, St. Clair and Blount County last
evening to study inversions. Tim will have all the details on that.
Cold temperatures this morning included 18 at Pine River, Hibbing and
Big Fork all in Minnesota. Numerous snow showers tonight in Cheyenne
with gusts to 40. Western Nebraska may be even harder hit.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: I had promised to post a story on the
33/40 Blog about rescue dogs. It is already on the Blog and has drawn
quite a bit of comment. If I ever am in the market for another dog, I
will go to an animal shelter without hesitation. I often wonder what
Molly would do if we brought in about three cats. I feel sure she
would have an aneurysm and cardiac arrest. But she would certainly
quickly get acquainted with them and start playing. On our last walk,
the big black dog one-quarter mile away with the crooked tail that
always points east, charged Molly five or six times. She has gotten
used to him. She jumps straight up with her little legs spinning in
the wind and takes off only to turn around to come back and charge the
big dog. They now seem to understand each other. Life goes on.
