...Colder Air Waiting In The Wings...

NO REAL WARM WEATHER FOR A WHILE: That is, after today. Temperatures
this afternoon across Alabama had climbed well into the 70s and some
folks will reach 80 before the day is over. Now our attention turns
toward the NW where a cold front was pushing SE through the Central
Plains. It will be helped along by an unusually strong high-pressure
system for this time of year. By late tomorrow, the high will be
centered over South Dakota. This is going to push the cold front into
extreme NW Alabama Wednesday morning and down into the extreme South
by Wednesday afternoon. We should also note that by that time, a low-
pressure area will be forming along the front over South Texas. This
will cause the front to stall along the Alabama/NW Florida coast by
Thursday morning. It will not move much Friday and Saturday as that
low moves east along the stalled front.

So, you ask, what does all this maneuvering mean? It means that we
will be at least 15 degrees cooler tomorrow and rather chilly for
Wednesday night through Saturday night and maybe longer. We think our
lowest temperature will be 40 to 42 across Central Alabama Thursday
morning and Friday morning.

THE RAIN SITUATION: By tomorrow morning, the 0.14 rain surplus for
Birmingham will be wiped out. Later in the day we should have a slight
chance of showers. In the cooler air, we expect intermittent light
rain to continue on Thursday and rain at times on Friday. Our better
chance of rain and the bigger amounts should be over the weekend on
Saturday and Sunday. Projections are that the two-day total should be
approaching 1 inch. We think that the risk of severe weather during
all this should be low.

WEATHER RADIO OFFER: ABC 33/40 continues to work with Publix
Supermarkets and Handy TV in this part of Alabama to get an excellent
Midland Weather Radio for an outstanding price of only $29.95. They
have the digital technology so you can choose your counties of choice
that you want to be alarmed for.

ROAMING THE GLOBE: I am impressed by the build up of more very cold
air over the great North Country. The temperature was as low as 49
below zero at Pelly Bay in Northern Canada this morning. Wind chill
warnings were out for as low as 60 below. The coldest in Alaska was 20
below at Ft. Yukon, where it once reached 100 degrees—the hottest ever
in Alaska. In the 48 adjacent states, it was 92 yesterday in Laredo
and 12 below zero this morning in Glasgow, Montana and Williston,
North Dakota. Oklahoma City had 82 yesterday, but they are looking for
29 tonight. Chicago is going to drop from 62 this afternoon to 22
tonight and 13 tomorrow night. As much as a foot of new snow will fall
over the Upper Midwest, such as NE Minnesota. 77 inches of snow on the
ground at Nome, Alaska. With the changing season, the coldest
temperatures in the world will shift to Antarctica. It was 73 below at
Vostok today and they expect 92 below within the next several days.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: The biggest gripe I have about Little
Miss Molly is encroachment. She sleeps with us on a king-size bed and
when she curls up in a tightly wound circle to sleep, she takes up no
more room than a small Frisbee. On some nights, like last night, she
roams the bed switching locations. Every time she does that, she turns
around at least 5 times and plops down, shaking the bed. Last night
she kept pushing me closer and closer to the edge and I almost rolled
off. I still love her and sometimes I wake up in the middle of the
night and wake her up so I can give her a belly rub. Lots of moans and
groans. Life goes on.
