...Some Changes Ahead...

SHOWERS BY FRIDAY: An intense low-pressure area was prowling the
Northern Plains this afternoon. It will have an affect on Alabama
weather a little later. By tomorrow morning, a cold front should be
pushing into NW Arkansas and by late Thursday to near Memphis. By
Friday morning, the front should be approaching NW Alabama and by
Saturday morning it should be over near Charleston and Savannah.
SO WHAT DOES ALL THIS MEAN: SW winds will be bringing in some
moisture from our dear friend, the Gulf of Mexico. As the front
approaches, scattered showers will reach Alabama Friday and some of
those could start as early as late Thursday night. Some of our models
want to linger some showers into Saturday morning. We are tossing that
out for the time being and calling for mostly sunny weather for most
of Saturday. We do not see any unusually cold weather all the way
through the middle of next week, but by Saturday and Sunday morning
temperatures will be in the lower 40s and some North Alabama valleys
may have upper 30s.

SEVERE WEATHER: We believe that by the time the showers reach
Alabama, most of the potent energy will have passed north of Alabama.
Meanwhile, the Storm Prediction Center has posted a Slight Risk for
this afternoon and tonight for NE Texas northward into Eastern South
Dakota and SW Minnesota. Within that, they have also posted a Moderate
Risk for extreme NE Oklahoma and SE Kansas. For tomorrow, the Slight
Risk shifts eastward covering extreme East Texas, most of Louisiana
(except the extreme SE), extreme South Arkansas and the west edge of
Mississippi.

OUR SECONDARY SEVERE WEATHER SEASON: Remember, this is November and
Alabama can have some very active thunderstorms this time of year
during the seasonal change and this threat can last into December. For
several years in a row, the autumn severe weather season was more
active than the spring season. A long history, however, shows that
more often than not, March, April and May are the kings for severe
weather.

GLOBAL ROAMING: That intense low over the Plains is going to cause
some very interesting weather. Blizzard conditions are posted for
parts of the Northern Plains and some heavy snow is expected in the
Colorado mountains. Highest temperature yesterday was 90 in Laredo and
Pecos, Texas. Will never forget spending the night in a motel in Pecos
during a blinding dust storm. By morning we could not get out the door
because of piles of sand and a mountain of tumbleweeds.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Quite a night for Little Miss Molly.
Long evening of watching election returns and having no time to spend
with her. Some of the folks in our house went to bed fairly early. The
majority owner got tired of the returns and went to bed. Another
family member came in from Atlanta late. I had fallen asleep, but
awoke and watched the returns until past midnight. Little Miss Molly
spent the whole evening going from place to place trying to find a
quiet place to sleep. I finally took her to the big bed as 12:30 a.m.
and boy, did she pass out quickly. I hate to treat her like that, but
I am a big fan of election returns. I would rather watch those almost
as much as Gunsmoke, Yogi Bear and Andy Griffith. Life goes on. I will
make it up to Molly this afternoon.
