...Sunshine Returns Tomorrow...

HEADED FOR SOME PLEASANT WEATHER: Two rain events in the last few
days have given Alabama a general soaking. The two events produced as
much as 4 inches of rain in parts of the state and almost every
community received 1 inch or more. The nice part about all of this, it
was a steady rain lasting for hours on end in most communities giving
the rain time to soak in instead of running off into the nearest ditch
and creek. The topsoil across the state should be in great condition
now as far as moisture is concerned.

By midafternoon today, the rain had ended over extreme North Alabama.
It was still widespread across Central and South Alabama including
some heavy rains near the coast. The low-pressure are that formed over
the NW Gulf of Mexico several days ago was over South Georgia this
afternoon. The cold front involved with all of this extended from near
New Orleans eastward across South Alabama. The rain should gradually
taper off and end over the rest of Alabama tonight.

As it does, clouds will break up allowing some patchy dense fog to
form. That fog will get away fairly early tomorrow morning and most of
the state should have sunny weather and warmer temperatures. That
sunny weather will continue with pleasant temperatures on Wednesday.
Highs will be in the mid 70s and lows at night in the upper 40s. By
Thursday, another cool front will push into the state. It will reach
North Florida by Friday morning. There is a small risk of a few
showers Thursday as it turns cooler again with highs in the 60s. By
Friday morning, it should be near 40 across Central Alabama with some
upper 30s in the cooler North Alabama valleys.

RECENT RAIN AMOUNTS: Just in the last 24 hours, here are a few rain
amounts around the state:

0.90 Mobile Regional Airport
0.42 Birmingham Airport
0.41 Anniston
1.65 Montgomery Dannelly Field

ROAMING FAR AND WIDE: Some parts of Texas got some good rain in the
last few days, but almost the entire state is under some type of
drought, including an exceptional drought over part of Central and SE
Texas. Dry conditions also in Georgia and the Carolinas. Columbus,
Georgia got 3.46 inches of rain the last 24 hours. Troy, in SE
Alabama, got 3.09. What a change for NE Minnesota where temperatures
will be well into the 50s this afternoon over a heavy snow pack. Could
be some flooding. Good old Deadhorse, Alaska, always something
interesting. It was 43 below zero today with a wind chill 72 below.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: My little girl disrupted my sleep three
times during the night making me get up and bring her back to bed. I
have about decided we need to put earmuffs on her at night. Her
hearing is as good as any creature in the world. Last night she could
hear an outside drainpipe because of the rain and our grandkids, who
like to stay up most of the night, were making just enough noise in
the living area for her to stand by the bedroom door ready to zoom
out. Glad I got a lot of power naps yesterday. I am well rested.
Little Miss Molly is getting a lot of naps today to make up for the
interruptions last night. Life goes on.
