ABC 33/40 E-FORECAST
Afternoon Edition For Thursday February 12, 2009
===================================================================
A NEW LAKE COMMUNITY

Horizons on Logan Martin Lake in Pell City, Alabama is a new lake
lifestyle community. As of this month, we have available for sale and
occupancy, 4 upscale town homes and 31 prime lake lots.

The community is unique in that there are 15 acres of common lake
property with 3000 feet of shoreline.

There is an 8 foot wide boardwalk the entire 3000 feet, ready
for your morning or evening walk. The clubhouse is complete
and includes an upstairs and downstairs great room and kitchen,
an exercise room, 12 foot covered porch all around, pool,
showers and much more.

You can buy your lot and plan your dream home and start enjoying all
the amenities today. Launch your boat on our private launch, dock at
your private space or just sit on the boardwalk and tan. Enjoy the
pool, take a shower before dinner and plan your own get together at
the 4000 square foot club house.

...Weather Better Behaved...

MORE RAIN LATER FRIDAY: There is an old saying that has floated
around as long as I can remember that if you do not like Alabama
weather, just wait a few hours. Take it from me you hear that same
saying, or a close resemblance, in just about every place you go in
the country. It is true that weather changes. Weather systems in the
USA move generally west to east and we weather humans turn our eyes in
a generally westerly direction more than any other.
So, we have introduced some more showers later Friday. Those should
become more extensive Friday night, but ending Saturday morning. Could
even be a few thunderstorms thrown in Friday night. This does not look
like a severe weather event.

The weekend looks fairly comfortable and from Saturday afternoon
through Sunday should be dry with highs in the upper 50s and lower
60s. Monday should be a
little cooler, but also dry.

YESTERDAY: I have been involved in weather for quite a few years.
Yesterday got my attention because I have never seen that many severe
thunderstorm warnings and even a tornado watch when there was
virtually no lightning. That long line of heavy showers had low tops,
thus no lightning, yet the wind was high enough to cause scattered
damage over a wide area.

STORM ALERT 2009: The entire ABC 33/40 weather crew will be in Jasper
tonight at the CHS Building downtown. That is a great facility. The
doors open at 5:00, the program starts at 7:00 and will be over by
8:15. Come early for a good seat. Next Thursday night, the 19th, the
Storm Alert crew will be at the Oxford Civic Center. That place always
draws a huge crowd.

GLOBAL ROAMING: I believe when all of the stories are in, the recent
ice storm in Kentucky is going to be their worst weather disaster of
all time. It was an awesome storm. It was great to see the temperature
get up to the lower 70s as recent as Thursday in Louisville. Their
high was 66 yesterday and they expect 55 today. The warmest in all of
the USA yesterday was 86 at Alice, Texas and Punta Gorda, Florida. In
the lower 48, coldest this morning was 13 below at Stanley, Idaho
nestled in the Sawtooth Mountains. I know I have said this before, but
the last time we were there camping on the Salmon River banks a few
miles from town, both the population and speed limit for Stanley was
35. Coldest in Alaska this morning was 49 below at Atqasuk. A few
sample snow depths from Alaska included 47 inches at Valdez, 27 inches
at Whittier and 32 inches at Nome.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Our beloved '96 Oldsmobile was in the
shop for a few days meaning our garage was empty. Little Miss Molly is
so intelligent that if she sees the garage empty, one of us must be
gone. It puzzled her that we are both still here but no car. I am
longing for the day that my IQ matches hers. She got her usual 30-
minute rubdown after going to bed last night. She has become so
accustomed to that, that it is a must. I wish you could have seen her
when her boyfriend, the young Yorkie, came by. She almost goes berserk
because she is so deeply in love with him. They love each other and go
round and round like a merry-go-round playing. Molly is now 6 years
old and it concerns me a bit that her life may be half over.
