...Another Chilly Night...

THOSE STUBBORN CLOUDS: On a night like last night, clouds become the boss of our weather and they can be awfully stubborn. They can also disrupt our temperature forecast. Sometimes on a night like that, trying to forecast the overnight low temperature is not totally unlike tossing a dart at a dartboard. The areas that get clear weather can cool off quickly. A couple of examples: it was 32 at Scrougeout and 31 in Ashland, while Huntsville and Tuscaloosa (with a persistent cloud cover) had only 45.

NOW WHAT: The forecast over the next few days will not be too easy, although we do expect mostly sunshine Thursday and Friday. Look for
some scattered frost again tonight and Thursday morning. The frost may be a little heavier than we have had lately. We are forecasting an average low of 35 across Central Alabama while some of the colder valleys could be closer to 30. The clouds should move out of the area this evening. Beyond Friday, the weather gets more interesting and our friend, the Gulf of Mexico, is going to have a say in that. A low-pressure area will form over the NW Gulf of Mexico. By Friday morning it should be centered over South Texas. By Saturday morning it will be a little further eastward and spreading light rain into South Alabama. The low should move to the NE Gulf of Mexico south of the Florida Panhandle by Saturday night and by Sunday it should be over South Carolina.

SO WHAT DOES THAT MEAN FOR ALABAMA: It means rain will spread into the state, but occur mostly over about the south half of the state Saturday and Saturday night. The rain will be a little heavier over the south third of the state. By Sunday morning, light rain should be ending over extreme East Alabama and the rest of the state will have clearing weather. Rain amounts could be moderate to heavy down over SE Alabama, but across the central part of the state, including Birmingham, we may not get more than one-third of an inch.

FOOTBALL WEATHER: We will discuss football weather more fully in our Thursday editions, but it looks excellent for high school play off games Friday night with temperatures dropping into the 50s.

ROAMING: It is getting that time of year when the weather gets more and more interesting and it is getting bitter cold over the far, far north. The warmest in the country yesterday was 86 at Pembroke Pines, Florida and Riverside, California…coldest in the lower 48 this morning was 7 at Gunnison and Kremmling, Colorado…another huge storm system affecting the Pacific Northwest…power was out in a number of Oregon towns near the coast, including 1,700 homes in the town of Oregon City…as much as 5 inches of rain can be expected from this storm with snow in the high country measured in feet…it was 45 below zero this morning at Chandalar Lake and Bettles in Alaska with a wind chill as low as minus 59. It was 54 below at Summit, Greenland.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Our new little great granddaughter came by for a visit this morning. She is only three days old, but Little Miss Molly went into overdrive. I am convinced she thought that Kayleigh was another little puppy and she was demanding to play with her. The majority owner was cuddling the baby in her lap. Little Miss Molly became airborne and landed near the baby numerous times and was giving her the sniffing treatment. There is no way that Little Miss Molly would harm any living creature. Later Dino, her boyfriend, came by and they had a raucous time of it in our driveway chasing each other at breakneck speed. On a long very early walk with Molly, she had stopped behind the house where Dino lives and cried real tears because she could not see Dino peering out the lower windowpane in his backdoor. Life goes on.
