...Dry Weather Through The Weekend...

OUR COLDEST NIGHT SO FAR TONIGHT: Cold air continued to pour into
Alabama this afternoon. It appears that temperatures will remain in
the forties over the extreme North with north wind gusting between 20–
25 mph. Early this afternoon, it was only 39 at Redstone Arsenal in
Huntsville.

The dew point was between 12 and 20 degrees. On a clear still night
that is a general guide as to how low the temperature will be. We do
not foresee any 12 degree lows but the old thermometer by daybreak
should be in the mid 20's over a large part of North and Central
Alabama. In the colder valleys, in North and Northeast Alabama, we may
see some lows around 18-20 early tomorrow morning. A high pressure
system should be centered over Alabama by daybreak so that means the
wind should be mostly calm.

A southwest wind will set in tomorrow afternoon permitting
temperatures to climb well into the 50's. Under our current weather
pattern, we are having a series of cold fronts sweeping southeast
quickly from Canada and the Midwest. Our next one will arrive early
Thursday and still another one Monday. These fronts are not having
enough time to gather enough moisture to produce any showers so our
weather will stay dry.

GLOBAL ROAMING: It is unusually cold for this early over many areas of
North America and even over the North Pole into Siberia. The
temperature was around 53 below zero at Ojmjakon, Siberia. That city
bills itself as the coldest continually inhabited place in the world.
Of course Antarctica is colder but people for the most part, do not
live there. Cold temperatures in the USA this morning included 3 above
at Grand Marias, Minnesota, and 20 below zero at Buckland, Alaska.

For Southern California, there is some good news on the wildfire
story. The Santa Ana winds were not nearly as strong today. That has
been a major tragedy with around one thousand very expensive homes
burned.

In Blue Ridge country, two to four inches of fresh snow around Boone
in North Carolina with a wind chill as low as 7 above. The high this
afternoon was expected to be only 24. Atop Mt. LaConte, in the Great
Smoky Mountain National Park, some fresh snow overnight brought the
total on the ground back up to seven inches, with a low temperature of
2 above zero. Lake effect snow has produced 24 inches at
Constableville at the East end of Lake Ontario in New York.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: The majority owner will be released from
the hospital tomorrow morning and I am anxious to see Little Miss
Molly's welcome when she gets home. Again last night, Molly walked the
floor with an anxious look on her face wondering where her mommy was.
She went into the master bedroom four or five times to see if she was
in there. She finally hinted that she wanted me to go to bed with her
around 11:30pm. This time she immediately curled up and went to sleep
and slept all night. Sure will be nice to get things back to normal.
Life goes on. And with Little Miss Molly, she wants no disruptions.
