...Another Warm Spring Day Tuesday...

COOLER BY MIDWEEK: One week ago today there were some patches of snow
still on the ground in many parts of Alabama. Not so today as
temperatures soar well into the 70s and maybe to around 80 in some
places.

Tuesday will be a duplication of today except maybe a degree or so
warmer. It is expected to be dry tonight and Tuesday. Our changing
weather will start on Wednesday. By early in the day Wednesday, a cold
front should be pushing into NW Alabama. It is being pushed SE by a
rather strong high-pressure system over the Northern Plains. It will
set off some showers and possibly even a thunderstorm. Most of those
should be afternoon and night. Temperatures will be about 10 degrees
cooler. As the cooler air gets deeper into the area, highs on Thursday
and Friday will only be in the mid 50s and those at night in the 40s.
We still maintain a chance of rain at times Thursday and Friday. There
will be more clouds than sun the latter part of the week.
Sunday afternoon highs were in the mid and upper 70s in most areas. It
was 80 in Selma and 81 in Montgomery. Livingston had 82.

TROPICAL WEATHER: Powerful Category 4 Hamish may miss the Australian
mainland after all. The big storm was moving SE parallel to the east
coast. Some of the off shore islands, such as Sandy Cape and Lady
Elliot, may not be so lucky. Sustained winds have been over 170 mph at
times.

SEVERE WEATHER BOX SCORE: 2009 tornado fatalities in the USA still
stand at nine. This included 8 in Carter County, Oklahoma on February
10 and 1 in Hancock County, Georgia on February 19. Yesterday was an
active day with 22 tornadoes reported, 90 reports of wind damage and
23 reports of hail. Most of this was across Missouri, Illinois and
Indiana. Keep in mind those reports will be reduced after storm
inspections, because there may have been multiple reports of the same
storm. There was an injury at Red Bud, Illinois when hail shattered a
window in a home. I have never heard of a person being injured inside
of a home by hail. There is a slight risk of severe weather this
afternoon and evening from Central Texas to Southern Illinois.

ROAMING NORTH AMERICA: 10 below zero this morning at Cutbank, Montana
and 26 below at Arctic Village, Alaska. Coldest in North America was
35 below at Alert in extreme North Canada. An amazing 76 inches of
snow on the ground at Nome, Alaska and 53 inches at Valdez.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: The countryside is coming alive. On a
long walk with my little pal this morning, there were so many birds
singing that it sounded like cheering in a football stadium. There was
one bird that followed us for at least ¼ mile running its big mouth
constantly. In my slightly active imagination, I assume the bird was
telling us to move along, that we were not welcome in the community.
The Bradford pear trees are blooming and soon the Old Crow Motel will
struggle back to life. Little Miss Molly sure enjoyed the walk. She
stopped and looked up at that chattering bird for several minutes. We
also met two worms. Life goes on.
