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.

...Storms at Midweek...

You probably couldn't draw up a more perfect February day in Alabama.
Skies are mostly blue, with just a few widely scattered cumulus clouds
trying to get their act together over Central sections. There is more
in the way of low and mid level clouds over the Tennessee Valley,
spreading in from the northwest. Clouds will grow in coverage a bit
during the afternoon, especially over the North. Temperatures are in
the well into the 60s with a nice southerly breeze at the lunch hour,
with many locations destined for the lower 70s by afternoon's end.
Quite nice.

REPEAT PERFORMANCE MONDAY: We have a split flow pattern in the upper
flow across North America. The upper flow is split into two branches,
with an active southern branch in place from California to Georgia.
This active split flow pattern has given us very changeable weather
lately. That is a hallmark of such scenarios. Plus, split patterns
tend to stay in place for awhile. What this means is that we will see
several disturbances being spit at us over the next ten days or so out
of the Southwest. But on Monday, you will see a repeat performance of
today with high pressure in place. Highs will once again warm into
the lower 70s with a decent southerly breeze under partly sunny
skies. We could see a shower late Monday night, but it doesn't look
likely at all.

DUAL STORM SYSTEMS: A disturbance is swinging out of Old Mexico this
afternoon. It will swing north and northeastward over the next 24
hours. We will find it over the Central Plains by tomorrow
afternoon. It will develop an intense surface low that will move into
Minnesota by Tuesday morning. This low will push a cold front our
way, but the strong high pressure ridge over the western Atlantic will
protect us from the front for one more day. Showers and maybe a
thunderstorm will affect northwestern sections of Alabama on Tuesday.
Significant severe weather could occur to the west of us on Tuesday.

By Tuesday night, another stronger disturbance will be swinging out of
New Mexico into the Texas Panhandle. Another strong surface low will
be swinging northeast and will be moving into Illinois by Wednesday
morning. This system will push a line of thunderstorms towards us
during the afternoon hours. Instabilities will be low, with dewpoints
in the upper 50s, but wind fields will be strong with the intense low
to the north of us. The more northerly track of the low could limit
our severe weather. Still, there is a risk of strong storms on
Wednesday in Alabama. While confidence in the forecast is low, it is
a situation to watch.

ON THIS DATE IN 1996: Snow flurries were reported in Florida as far
south as New Port Richey as extreme arctic cold finally reached
Florida after plaguing much of the eastern two-thirds of the country
from late January through early February.

ON THIS DATE IN 2003: Even South Texas couldn't escape the grip of
the cold winter of 2002-03. Measurable snow fell in unlikely places
like Austin, TX (0.4 inch) and San Antonio (0.1 inch). A trace even
fell in College Station and Del Rio.
