...Mild Next Two Days...

A MUCH COOLER WEEKEND: There are some days in this business that we
are sure enough about the forecast that we could almost give you a
written guarantee. There are other days when there are mixed signals
on what is going to happen when. Today is one of those, mainly because
of the timing of the precipitation. But, this is what we think. A
chance of showers tonight and mostly during the morning on Thursday.
For Friday, occasional showers and maybe a thunderstorm with the
better chance during the afternoon and Friday night. On Saturday,
there could be a few leftover showers over on the east side of the
state, however, clouds will be breaking up with windy and colder
weather. Looks like mostly sunshine on Sunday, but a cold early morning.

With the colder air moving in Saturday, NW winds will range between 12
and 25 mph and maybe some stronger gusts on the ridge tops. The wind
should diminish some by Saturday and especially by Saturday night. We
will have specific football forecasts starting with editions tomorrow
morning, but it looks like dry and cool weather for the Auburn/Georgia
game and for the Alabama/Mississippi game. High school play off games
Friday night may still have some showers around.

HOW MUCH RAIN? Let us estimate that it will be ½ to ¾ of an inch
across Central Alabama. It appears that most of that will come early
tomorrow and later Friday.

GLOBAL ROAMING: Some beneficial rain west of Alabama the last two or
three days. This storm system gave Dallas/Ft. Worth almost 4 inches
Monday night and Tuesday morning. In the last 24 hours, Shreveport
reported 2.53 inches. The highest temperature in the good old USA
yesterday was 90 at Alice and McAllen, both in extreme South Texas.
Cold spots this morning: 10 above at Alamosa, Colorado and 11 below at
Arctic Village, Alaska.

STORM ALERT XTREME: That is the title of the annual storm spotter
training and general weather programming special at the BJCC in
downtown Birmingham. Be there early to get a good seat at 9:30. It
lasts until 3:30 with a one-hour break for lunch. This happens right
along with the Birmingham International Auto Show and, if you come to
the Storm Alert Xtreme, you can also go through the auto show without
charge. Brian Peters will give you a refresher course on storm
spotting. You will get to meet not only Brian, but also Ashley Brand,
Jason Simpson, Tim Coleman and the chief, James Spann.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Little Miss Molly gets me out very early
every morning for a long walk. I have to be especially cautious when I
open the back door
and go out with her. She is like one of those rodeo bulls just getting
out of the gate and zooming forward at breakneck speed. She almost
pulled me over this morning as we were going up the first part of the
track. She finally slows down, because she turns into the doggie
version of a city inspector. She sat on my desk yesterday afternoon
for nearly an hour enjoying back rubs, belly rubs and neck rubs. She
looked at me so tenderly, like she was trying to say thank you. Life
goes on.
