...Coldest For The Season...

ANOTHER COLD FRONT LATER TOMORROW: It was plenty cold across Alabama
this morning and, for most communities, it was the lowest temperatures
we have experienced so far this season. Again today we have a long
list of the low temperatures on the ABC 33/40 Weather Blog. Here is a
condensed list of some of the colder temperatures:

14 Grantley in NE Alabama
15 Broomtown, also in NE Alabama
16 Cedar Bluff
17 Scrougout, Muscadine
18 Cottondale, Belle Mina
19 Hanceville, McCalla, Sycamore, Decatur, Crossville
20 Sylacauga, Talladega, Centreville, Millport
21 Moulton, Lafayette, Marion, Ft. Payne, Scottsboro

In the larger cities, it was 24 in Huntsville, 25 in Birmingham, 22 in
Montgomery, 23 in Tuscaloosa, 21 in Anniston and 29 in Mobile.

The high-pressure system was centered directly over Alabama early this
morning and, with calm winds, the temperature could not help but drop.
That high is being depressed to the SE this afternoon, so a SW wind
will set in before daybreak only to shift to the NW again later
tomorrow. That will bring a fresh supply of colder dry air to the
state. We are calling for an average low of 28 across Central Alabama
for Friday morning and 24 for Saturday morning. On Saturday morning,
some of the colder valleys may reach the upper teens. Looks like some
milder weather on Sunday with highs near 60. We should have dry
weather and mostly clear all the way through the weekend.

FIRE DANGER: The NWS continued a Red Flag Warning this afternoon for
numerous counties. This is because the dew point is so low and the
woodlands are dry. We do not see any bona fide chances of rain for the
next 4 or 5 days at least.

YOU COULD SEE FOREVER: Well, that is a slight exaggeration, but the
visibility was so good across Alabama today that with my little out-of-
control imagination, I felt
like I could see Canada. This was truly a day for DeSoto or Cheaha
State Park, but too busy, busy, busy.

GLOBAL ROAMING: A big high-pressure system is growing stronger over
Alaska and NW Canada. We will keep watching for cold air outbreaks
from that region of the world. The low this morning at Mayo in the
Yukon was 26 below. It was 35 below at Chandalar Lake in Eastern
Alaska. Down here in the lower 48 states, the coldest was one above at
Saranac Lake in Upstate New York. We have an e-mail subscriber there
who said that she dreaded scraping the snow.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: I wish you could have seen Little Miss
Molly when her Mommy (the majority owner) came home from the hospital
this morning. The little girl was so excited she was shaking all over.
Even the hair on her tail was vibrating. They had a big love session
and Little Miss Molly has come into my office several additional times
to see her Mommy. She will be real happy now and we will too as things
return to normal. It looks like the real cold temperatures last night
did a body blow to autumn color, but life goes on.
