...Improving Chance of Rain...

RELATIVELY MILD THROUGH FRIDAY: We had some nice cold temperatures
over the last few mornings, but no more of that for a while. Today a
low-pressure system over Kansas and a front over East Texas were
already spreading cloudiness into Alabama. Showers have been scarce
today. The few that occurred were light. The main rain event is still
to our west over Louisiana and East Texas.

Do not look for a great deal of sunshine for the next three days and
there will be an increase in the number of showers. For tomorrow,
occasional showers will be more noticeable during the afternoon and at
night. Probably our better chance will be on Thursday with a good
chance of showers along with some thunderstorms. Scattered showers
also on Friday. Finally, the cold front should sweep through Friday
night and early Saturday bringing sharply cooler temperatures and a
brisk NW wind on Saturday of around 10 to 20 mph. It will be clearing
on Saturday. We will have specific football forecasts beginning in the
Thursday morning edition, but it appears that both the Alabama/
Mississippi State game Saturday night and the Auburn/Georgia game at
11:30 a.m. Saturday will be dry and rather cool.

STORM ALERT XTREME: Be sure and come down to the BJCC Saturday. It
lasts from 9:30 until 3:30; great training; no admission charge and
you do not have to register. It is in conjunction with the Birmingham
International Auto Show and the bonus is that you get free admission
to that also. It is hoped that most or all of the ABC 33/40
Skywatchers will be there. You can also meet Ashley Brand, Jason
Simpson, Tim Coleman, Brian Peters and James Spann—the ABC 33/40
weather staff.

GLOBAL ROAMING: Those thunderstorms yesterday and last night set off
some Flash Flood Warnings in North/Central Texas and there were
several Severe Thunderstorm Warnings as well. At the Dallas/Ft. Worth
Airport (DFW), nearly 4 inches of rain fell in the last 24 hours. Cold
temperatures this morning included 5 above zero at Land O Lakes,
Wisconsin and Watersneet, Michigan. In Alaska, the coldest was 21
below at Northway. In the bitter cold of the North Arctic coast, winds
gusted as high as 68 mph at Barter Island. On the summit in Greenland,
it was 46 below zero this afternoon and it is bitter cold all across
the North Pole into Northern Russia where there were numerous reports
of temperatures 25 to 30 below zero.

MY TINY CORNER OF THEWORLD: I laughed more at Little Miss Molly on
our half-mile walk this morning than I ever have before. Cannot
explain exactly why, because I promised some readers I would not write
about the bathroom habits of Little Miss Molly. But to explain simply,
if another dog in the community has been to the bathroom, Molly
insists on leaving at least a few drops in the same place. It will not
do for her to see another dog going to the bathroom, because she will
fall right behind and do the same. Been catching up with ballgames
with the little lady. Regardless of how many innings we play, never
quite enough, but life goes on.
