...Mixed Up Weather...

THE ALABAMA STORY: It has been a relatively cool day across Alabama
with a steady rain in many areas and some heavier showers over the SE
part of the state. We have a report from the small community of
Industry, located in Butler County, of 2.10 inches of rain so far.
Early this afternoon, temperatures were still only in the 50s over
most of Alabama with a steady rain. Exceptions to that was 61 in
Tuscaloosa and 66 in Mobile. Along the NW Florida coast, there were
some strong thunderstorms and the Storm Prediction Center issued a
Tornado Watch for part of the Florida Panhandle in extreme SW Georgia
until 6:00 this evening.

Our weather sure has been fast changing for several weeks and we see
no sign that it will completely settle down to one type of weather or
another. Today a low-pressure area was moving toward the NE to the
west of Alabama. This will pull a cool front into the state by
morning. That should give us a dry day Wednesday with warmer afternoon
temperatures reaching the lower 70s. Look out for some patches of
dense fog forming tonight, then lifting early tomorrow. On Thursday we
go right back into another change with some scattered showers and
thunderstorms, but most of those will occur Thursday night.

OUR STORMIEST DAY: Friday will probably be our stormiest day the rest
of the week with scattered showers and thunderstorms becoming numerous
Friday night with some strong storms possible. Saturday is sort of a
mystery day. Some of our lovable weather models keep some showers in
on Saturday while another one takes the frontal boundary down into SE
Alabama. We will finetune that later, but for the moment we have
omitted showers on that day.

This is race weekend in Talladega. While Saturday may be a question
mark, Sunday should be dry with pleasant temperatures.

PLEASE SAY IT IS NOT SO: Sure did hate to see that story in The
Birmingham News this morning about the Cullman County sweet potatoes.
It is estimated that 70-80% of the yield this year will be lost
because of way too much rain. Sweet potatoes rate at the very top of
my personal food chain. If I was marooned on a South Pacific island
and could have a baked sweet potato every 3 hours alternated with a
Pop-Tart and moon pie in between, I might decline being rescued.

POINT BARROW: Let us start at the north tip of Alaska for our
miscellaneous coverage. The sun will not rise there until almost 11:00
tomorrow morning. They are now losing sunlight at almost 11 minutes a
day as they head toward that long siege of total darkness. The coldest
in Alaska this morning was 9 at Ft. Yukon. We do not have a list of
the coldest in the lower 48.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: I sure am not making light of this, but
if I were to get stressed out (I never have before), I could pick up
Little Miss Molly and talk to her and it would be equal to eating a
Prozac sandwich or a Valium casserole. She is just that much of a
stabilizer, but she can also drive me crazy sometimes like forcing me
to go all the way to the end of the walking track this morning in a
steady rain. She is almost weather proof. The only time she ever saw
snow actually falling, she would leap high off the ground, snapping at
the snowflakes before they reached the ground. Life goes on.
