A GOOD RAIN EVENT AHEAD: Thanks to some disturbances moving in from
the west, Alabama is in for a good rain event through much of
Saturday, including some locally heavy rain later tonight through
Saturday morning. There may be a few thunderstorms mixed in also. Many
sections of the state should get well over 1 inch of rain and some
places probably 2 inches. Here in Central Alabama, we estimate 1.50
inches occurring mainly tonight into early Saturday afternoon.

We are also going to have some cold air entering our weather picture
later in the weekend. It will also be a lot colder aloft. This will
lead to some unstable conditions to where we could see some snow
showers or flurries Sunday night and Monday morning. We do not see
accumulating snow. Tuesday brings sunshine, finally, with temperatures
dropping into the 20s early Tuesday morning.

FOOTBALL WEATHER: Looks wet for at least part of the Alabama/Auburn
game in Tuscaloosa. We expect considerable rain continuing overnight
and through much of Saturday morning. There are indications that the
rain will decrease by mid-afternoon. So, there is an outside chance
that the 2:30 kick off and beyond could be dry, but we cannot
guarantee that. It is a very good idea to take your rain gear. The
game is televised on CBS. The temperature should be around 57 at kick
off and holding rather steady through the rest of the game. We can be
much more definite on that in later forecasts and especially by early
Saturday. For high school play off games tonight, most stadiums will
have rain with temperatures in the 50s.

GLOBAL ROAMING: Rain was widespread this afternoon, not only in
Central Alabama, but also extending westward through much of
Mississippi and into parts of Louisiana and East Texas. Much of that
was near a stationary front that extended from Central Alabama to East
Texas. A low-pressure area, forming along the front, will be in West
Alabama Saturday morning and crossing the state during the day. Colder
air will pour into the state behind that low and that will become
especially noticeable Sunday and Monday. It was 89 degrees at Alice in
South Texas Thanksgiving Day...the warmest in the country. Cold
temperatures this morning included 9 above in Valentine, Nebraska and
a bitter 35 below zero in Chandalar Lake, Alaska. Valdez, Alaska has
30 inches of snow on the ground. It was a bitter 65 below zero at
Summit on the Greenland icecap.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Little Miss Molly has apparently been
watching the news on TV. She seems to realize that there is a downturn
in the economy. For the first time since we have had her, when she got
back from her early morning walk, she went racing to the master
bedroom, hopped on the king-size bed and started digging under a pile
of blankets. She came running out of the room with a treat in her
mouth. She had stockpiled it. For Thanks-giving, we had 12 people in
the house with Molly and she insisted on greeting and playing with
everyone that came. When the day was over, she plopped down on the
carpet totally exhausted. She then slept 10 hours overnight. She is
back to normal and life goes on......
