===================================================================

Clouds are thick across the northwestern two thirds of the area on
this Saturday as low level moisture increases across the state. A few
very light showers were occurring across Central Alabama. Most of the
precipitation was not reaching the ground, but a few light sprinkles
and pellets of sleet, and even some snowflakes were being reported.
This will continue through the afternoon hours as the activity moves
quickly to the east. Clouds will continue to overspread the area as
moisture levels rise and precipitation will be on the increase.

WEEKEND FORECAST: Temperatures will hold steady and then slowly rise
overnight as warm air continues to spread across the area. Overnight
lows will occur during the evening hours, will middle 30s over the
North to upper 30s to lower 40s over Central sections of the state.
Showers will be on the increase with fairly good probabilities of rain
during the overnight hours.

The rain showers will continue into Sunday morning as a strong upper
disturbance slides past Alabama. As it moves to the east, a cold
front will push through the area tomorrow. The better rainfall
amounts will be over South and South Central Alabama, generally south
of Highway 80. Precipitation should start tapering off by morning in
the Tuscaloosa, Birmingham, Gadsden, Anniston area and be gone by
lunchtime. Colder air will spill into the area, and there could be a
few snow flurries overnight. No problems are anticipated from this
light precipitation.

THE WEEK AHEAD: Monday will be cold, in the 30s, with a few more snow
flurries continuing during the morning hours. Another disturbance
Monday night could trigger a few snow flurries Monday night into
Tuesday morning, but amounts will again be light. Tuesday night will
be a cold night, with lows well down into the 20s, and perhaps a
couple of teens. Things should start to warm up a bit on Wednesday,
with highs back up to near 50, a real tropical heat wave. Look for
readings in the upper 50s on Thursday, backing off a bit on Friday as
our next wet weather systems arrives in Alabama with a good chance of
rain.

INAUGURATION WEATHER: Our nation's capital is bracing for the biggest
Inauguration celebration in history as President-elect Barack Obama is
sworn in on Tuesday. The events start in D.C. on Sunday. The weather
will be cold, but Inauguration weather usually is because of when it
is held. Forecasters are holding their breaths for Sunday night for a
chance of significant snow. The GFS had been predicting increasing
snowfall amounts for Sunday afternoon and night, but now it is coming
into line with the other models, which are keeping the precipitation
further to the southeast of Washington. Monday will feature a few
morning snow showers. Inauguration Day should be partly cloudy and
cold. Highs will be around 34F. Lows will be in the lower 20s.
Check out my article on some notable Inaugural weather on the
alabamawx.com blog.

ON THIS DATE IN 2007: Major European windstorms are named by the UK
Met Office, just like hurricanes, typhoons and cyclones around the
world. The powerful storm named Kyrill formed near Newfoundland on
January 15th. It crossed the Atlantic and slammed into northern
Europe with winds of 100 mph and gusts to 140 mph. It was the
strongest windstorm since January 1990 according to the UK Met Office.
The storm affected portions of southern Britain, northern France, the
Netherlands, Germany, and the Czech Republic, but caused damage all
the way to northern Russia. There were at least 47 deaths across the
region, with tens of thousands losing electrical services during the
storm. It is estimated that 40 million trees were felled in Germany
alone.

ON THIS DATE IN 1857: Famous Cold Storm: paralyzed areas from North
Carolina to Maine. One to two foot snowfalls were the norm rather
than the exception. Twenty foot drifts were reported in Norfolk VA.
Winds of gale force wrecked ships and caused wind damage.
Temperatures were below zero from Virginia northward. At Cape Henry,
one could walk out 100 yards on the frozen ocean. The Chesapeake Bay
was frozen out to a mile and one-half from shore.

HOPE

Hope. It's something we all look for. Too often we think hope
is just a wish or a feeling. We've seen what can happen when
we put our hope-our trust-in the wrong place, people or things.

Christian hope is different. It is the confident, joyful expectation
that God is working for my good and his glory.

Do you know someone who needs hope, especially in these tough times?

...Brrrrr!...

Greetings from New Orleans!. Seems I was just here. All work this
time, though, with a retreat, conference and sales blitz. It's cold
here, too. Not as cold as Birmingham, but still chilly.

ANOTHER VERY COLD MORNING: We thought that last night was going to
turn out to be as cold as Thursday night across the state. But cloud
cover through a monkey wrench into the old temperature forecast. The
clouds acted as a blanket, keeping readings warmer than they would
have been. Spots that saw more clearing were colder.

TRICKY FORECAST: Big upper ridge in the western U.S., with the
monster trough over the East. At the surface, we have a high pressure
system near our nation's capital. Our winds will begin to pick up out
of the south this morning, transporting in slightly warmer air. We
will see middle 40s for highs today. Clouds will increase late in the
day and overnight as a strong upper level disturbance takes shape over
the Midwest and dives southeastward.

Moisture levels will jump this afternoon and overnight, and the
approaching system will begin to produce precipitation after midnight
tonight. A tricky forecast tonight as precipitation may begin in the
pre-dawn hours when temperatures are at or below freezing north of
I-20 and a wintry mix is possible. The system will have to be
watched. South of I-20, it should fall as rain, but again, monitor
later forecasts for in the morning. A chill rain will develop during
the day to the south of Birmingham, with some decent rainfall amounts
possible over South Central Alabama. A reinforcing shot of cold air
arrives late Sunday, producing a few snow flurries across the northern
half of the state Sunday
night.

MONDAY/TUESDAY: Monday will be a cold and blustery day. Another
disturbance may bring a chance of more light snow Monday night with a
mix of light rain and snow during the day Tuesday.

MODERATION BEGINS: Things will begin to moderate just a bit by
Wednesday, when we expect a high near 50 degrees. Thursday and Friday
should see us right back up near 60 as a surface high sets up to our
east and a return flow is established from the Gulf of Mexico. Rain
chances will return late Friday night and Saturday, but notice that I
said rain. Cold air will filter in on the back side again, and there
could be some flurries after the cold front passes through on
Saturday. There are signs of a continued cold spell after that with
interesting times between the 26th and 29th as additional wintry
threats could materialize.

ON THIS DATE IN 1857: Famous "Cold Storm: paralyzed areas from North
Carolina to Maine. One to two foot snowfalls were the norm rather
than the exception. Twenty foot drifts were reported in Norfolk VA.
Winds of gale force wrecked ships and caused wind damage.
Temperatures were below zero from Virginia northward. At Cape Henry,
one could walk out 100 yards on the frozen ocean. The Chesapeake Bay
was frozen out to a mile and one-half from shore.

...Another Cold Night...

A LITTLE WARMER OVER THE WEEKEND: There was a wall-to-wall freeze
across Alabama last night stretching all the way from the Tennessee
border to the Gulf beaches. Even at Mobile temperatures dropped into
the mid 20s. As expected, the colder temperatures were over the
northern part of the state. You can see a comprehensive list of those
on the 33/40 Weather Blog, but we want to give you some samples here.
The coldest we could find from official sources and from our ABC 33/40
Skywatchers was 2 above zero at Hytop and Grantley in NE Alabama. It
was 4 at Valley Head and Mentone. A few other representative lows
across the state:

5 New Market
6 Russell Cave, Holly Pond
7 Ardmore, Haleyville, Scrougout, Vinemont
8 Mt. Cheaha, Moody, Muscle Shoals

In the larger cities, it was 12 at Birmingham Airport, 13 in Anniston,
21 at Montgomery and 26 in Mobile. Radar actually showed a patch of
snow over North Mississippi and extreme NW Alabama this afternoon. The
air is ultra dry, so little or no chance of reaching the ground.

ANOTHER HARD FREEZE TONIGHT: The main difference in the cold weather
tonight and that of last night is that the colder temperatures will
occur earlier and by daybreak they should be slowly rising. We expect
an average low of 13 across Central Alabama. It may be several degrees
colder in the NE Alabama valleys. Finally, the old thermometer will
start returning to its senses Saturday and will give us some mid 40s
during the afternoon. This does not mean that we are going back to an
extended stretch of mild weather. We will have a series of fronts
moving through in the next few days. The good news is that the colder
air that follows the fronts will not be near as cold as last night and
tonight. We are projecting mid and upper 20s for Monday morning and
Tuesday morning.

PRECIPITATION: Yes, there will be some, but we do not see a major
event. Clouds will increase Saturday night and there is a chance of
some rain on Sunday. We cannot totally rule out a few flurries mixed
in with that, but the better chance will be closer to the Georgia
border. Another front will move through the area on Monday and we are
calling for a few snow flurries, but no accumulation. Sunny weather
continues on Tuesday.

GLOBAL ROAMING: The coldest weather in a number of years, not only in
Alabama, but in many areas the last few days. In the Great Smoky
Mountain National Park it was 13 below zero on Mt. LeConte this
morning and 7 below on Newfound Gap. Some of the most amazing low
temperatures came from the Far North and NE specifically in Northern
Maine. It was a bitter 50 below zero at Big Black River in the NW part
of the state. That would be the coldest temperature ever recorded for
all time in the state of Maine, if it is verified. In Chicago, it was
17 below. It was 21 below in West Chicago and 30 below at Aurora,
Illinois. Would you believe that the coldest in Alaska was 11 below at
Kivalina. Amazingly, it was 24 above in Fairbanks, which is 64 degrees
warmer than they had last week.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: You guessed it. My little 9-pound pal,
who I sometimes call Miss Glue because she sticks so close to me, had
me out before daybreak again this morning. Talking about tending to
her business in a hurry, she did it all in 45 seconds and went zooming
back through the door ready for a Milkbone treat. I was glad. A big
incident yesterday afternoon. I was out front when the little Yorkie
came by. I picked him up to cuddle with him some. Little Miss Molly
happened to look out the front door and went berserk. I do not know if
she was jealous of me or wanted to see the Yorkie. Her barks rattled
the windowpanes. When it gets warmer, those two will have more
playtime together. Life goes on.

ABC 33/40 E-FORECAST
Morning Edition For Friday January 16, 2009
===================================================================
HOPE

Hope. It's something we all look for. Too often we think hope
is just a wish or a feeling. We've seen what can happen when
we put our hope-our trust-in the wrong place, people or things.

Christian hope is different. It is the confident, joyful expectation
that God is working for my good and his glory.

Do you know someone who needs hope, especially in these tough times?

Join others seeking "Hope" this Sunday at Hunter Street Baptist
Church in Hoover. Visit http://www.hunterstreet.org for service
times and directions.

Hunter Street is located at 2600 John Hawkins Parkway in Hoover,
just 3 miles west of the Riverchase Galleria. Phone 205.985.7295.
===================================================================

...A Struggle To Get Above Freezing...

STILL IN THE DEEP FREEZE: Bitterly cold Arctic air will continue to
cover Alabama for the next 24 hours; despite a sunny sky today
temperatures will struggle to reach the mid 30s. Winds won't be as
strong as yesterday, but still wind chill index values in the teens
are likely much of the day. Then, tonight, we drop quickly with a
clear sky and light wind. By daybreak tomorrow, most places will wind
up in the 13 to 18 degree range, with some potential for single digit
lows again for the normally colder valleys and protected areas of
North Alabama.

So, you will need to maintain the standard cold weather precautions
tonight. Be sure and check on elderly people that might not have
adequate heat; bring in the pets, and keep exposed pipes wrapped and
protected so they won't be in danger of bursting. Be very careful if
you are using space heaters; if used improperly they pose the risk of
house fires. And, this is not a good time for outdoor burning due to
extremely dry air covering Alabama (dewpoints today could be as low as
-15).

THE WEEKEND: We finally warm up a bit tomorrow, with a high in the mid
40s with a partly to mostly sunny sky. Clouds will increase tomorrow
night in advance of a strong upper air disturbance within the deep
upper trough over the eastern U.S., and we will continue to mention
some risk of light rain or light snow during the day Sunday. The air
will be very dry, so precipitation should be light and spotty; the
best chance of any decent rain amounts will be down over the southern
quarter of the state.

Then, another surge of cold air drops into our state Sunday night; at
this time our weather looks dry and cold Monday and Tuesday with highs
in the 40s and lows in the 20s; the normally colder spots could reach
the teens both mornings. A decent moderating trend begins Wednesday,
which should last through the rest of the week as the Polar jet stream
retreats slowly to the north.

BRUTALLY COLD: Coldest place in the nation yesterday was Garrison,
North Dakota with 43 below zero. Other lows included -21 at
Minneapolis, -16 at Green Bay, and -10 at Chicago.

REMARKABLE WARM UP IN ALASKA: The coldest in our biggest state
yesterday morning was -8 at Northway. It was only a few days ago that
they were reporting -54. About a week ago, the thermometer strained
real hard and dropped down to an unbelievable at 68 below at Chicken,
Alaska. Another example of the change, over on the west side of the
state, the NWS in Juneau was issuing some flood warnings because of
heavy rain and melting snow. Stanley Creek had reached the fifth
highest level in history.

ON THIS DATE IN 1982: The second severe arctic outbreak of the season
infiltrates the Central U.S. Zero degree temperatures were recorded
into Texas. The mercury dropped from 55 to -1 at Amarillo and from 62
to 10 at Oklahoma City.

...Dangerously Cold Weather...

ALABAMA FEELS LIKE MONTANA: Well, that is an exaggeration, of course,
but we are experiencing some of our coldest temperatures in about six
years. It is a dangerous situation for Alabama where we are not
accustomed to temperatures this low or wind chill numbers that will
really bite you.

The big strong high-pressure area that we have been watching closely
for a week will push deeper into the central part of the country
tonight and by morning it should be centered over the west tip of
Kentucky. This will drive bitter cold air deeper into Alabama. A big
unanswered question at the moment is whether the wind will completely
drop off to calm by daybreak or remain out of the north at 5-10 mph.
We are going to opt for the latter and that will spell much lower wind
chill values. The wind chill could drop to near zero late tonight and
tomorrow morning, especially in areas north of Birmingham.

However, wind chill does not bother objects like radiators and water
pipes. The actual temperature determines how much of a problem for
those. We are going to maintain our estimated low of 12 degrees for
tonight and tomorrow morning as an average number across Central
Alabama. This includes the Tuscaloosa, Birmingham, Anniston corridor.
The low could easily be 3 or 4 degrees lower in some of the normally
cold valleys, even including the Pinson area.

It looks like high temperatures Friday will stay in the 20s across the
Tennessee Valley, but here in the Birmingham area they should edge
upward to about 34. A fairly good north wind again will make it feel a
lot colder.

Finally, some moderation on the old thermometer by Saturday afternoon
reaching the mid 40s, although early morning lows will still be in the
hard freeze category.

PRECIPITATION ON SUNDAY: Sure does not look like much, but we believe
some light rain will spread across the area and it could be mixed with
a bit of light snow before the temperature gets warm enough to be all
rain. We do not see any chance of accumulation, so this will be
another non-snow event.

GLOBAL ROAMING: The meteorologist at the National Weather Service in
Bismarck went outside and tossed a cup of coffee into the air with the
temperature around 44 below zero. It instantly looked like steam and I
am sure some of it froze by the time it touched the ground. The
coldest temperature in the good old USA this morning was 47 below just
NW of Garrison, North Dakota. It was 43 below at Turtle Lake, North
Dakota and a record low of 44 below at Bismarck. An amazing warm up in
Alaska where the coldest was a relatively mild 8 below at Northway. It
was only about a week ago that temperatures tanked out at 68 below
at Chicken, Alaska.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: We will be sure that Little Miss Molly
has her Christmas sweater on every time she goes out during this cold
snap. She looks so cute in that and I sense that she struts more
probably trying to show off. We were out again before sunrise. Even I
had to put on a light coat. This was another morning when she doubled
as the City of Trussville doggie inspector. Little dogs are strange.
About 3 months ago, the big black dog up the walking track with the
crooked tail (when he is going north, his tail points toward Anniston
and when he is going south, it points toward Albuquerque. Molly saw
him go to the bathroom on a small sprig of grass one morning. Now
every time she walks, she has to seek it out and go in the same place.
Life goes on.

HOPE

Hope. It's something we all look for. Too often we think hope
is just a wish or a feeling. We've seen what can happen when
we put our hope-our trust-in the wrong place, people or things.

Christian hope is different. It is the confident, joyful expectation
that God is working for my good and his glory.

Do you know someone who needs hope, especially in these tough times?

===================================================================

...Coldest Air In Six Years...

A COLD WAVE: Bitter cold Arctic air will stream into Alabama on brisk
north winds gusting as high as 30 mph. Despite a mostly sunny sky, we
are forecasting a high only in the mid 30s today, with wind chill
index values in the 0 to 10 degree range much of the day. The biting
wind will die down tonight, allowing temperatures to drop to levels
not seen here in six years. We continue to forecast lows between 10
and 15 degrees for most places at daybreak tomorrow, but keep in mind
the colder valleys across North and Central Alabama will wind up in 4
to 9 degree range. Up in the inversion layer above 1,500 feet, lows in
the upper teens are expected. We are forecasting an average low of 12
degrees tomorrow morning; if we reach that it will be the coldest
morning since January 24, 2003 when the temperature dropped to 7
degrees at the Birmingham Airport.

TOMORROW AND THE WEEKEND: While tomorrow won't be as raw as today
thanks to lighter winds, the day will still be cold. We will struggle
to reach the mid 30s, and another damaging freeze is likely by
daybreak Saturday. In fact, looks like Saturday morning could be just
as cold as tomorrow morning for much of Alabama, with lows down in the
10 to 15 degree range for many communities. We should warm into the
40s Saturday afternoon with a partly sunny sky.
A strong lobe of energy will be rotating through the base of the deep
upper trough over the eastern half of the nation Sunday; this feature
will bring some clouds, and maybe even a little light rain or light
snow to the state. The air will be very dry, and at this time a major
precipitation event is not expected. The best chance of seeing enough
snow to cover the ground Sunday should be actually east of Alabama,
through parts of Georgia and South Carolina, where the moisture will
be more plentiful.

FIRE DANGER: Seems like we always hear of tragic house fires in this
kind of cold weather. Be extremely careful with space heaters, and
also check on elderly people that might not have an adequate source of
heat.

PETS: Make sure to provide adequate shelter for pets in this cold.
Most dogs and cats around here, even if they are large, are not
prepared for this kind of cold. Bring them indoors or into the
basement if at all possible starting Wednesday night, even if you have
to put them in a big box in the kitchen. If you absolutely have to
leave the pets outside: 1. Make sure they have a supply of unfrozen
drinking water (check it every 12 hours), 2. make sure their doghouse
door faces south, 3. add a curtain or something over the door (test it
to be sure they'll go through it), 4. put extra blankets, towels, hay,
etc. in their dog house, 5. put a sweater or sweatshirt on them if
possible; even if you just have to cut holes in an old one of yours,
it helps. However, bringing them in is still the best alternative.

THESE TEMPERATURES...ALONG WITH A NORTHERLY WIND OF 10 TO 15
MPH...WILL PRODUCE WIND CHILL READINGS RANGING FROM ZERO TO -10
DEGREES. SOMEWHAT COLDER READINGS ARE POSSIBLE IN THE MORE EXPOSED
HIGHER TERRAIN LOCATIONS OF NORTHEAST ALABAMA AND SOUTHERN MIDDLE
TENNESSEE.

THIS WILL PRODUCE DANGEROUS CONDITIONS FOR THOSE EXPOSED TO THESE
COLD TEMPERATURES FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD.

A WIND CHILL ADVISORY MEANS THAT VERY COLD AIR AND SUSTAINED WINDS
WILL COMBINE TO GENERATE LOW WIND CHILLS. THIS COULD RESULT IN FROST
BITE OF EXPOSED SKIN...OR LEAD TO HYPOTHERMIA IF PRECAUTIONS ARE NOT
TAKEN. IF YOU MUST VENTURE OUTDOORS...DRESS IN LAYERS OF CLOTHING...
MAKE SURE TO WEAR A HAT...ALONG WITH GLOVES OR MITTENS. PROVIDE
SHELTER FOR OUTDOOR PETS.

...Thermometer Headed South...

COLDEST IN SIX YEARS: It may be a blessing in disguise that we do not
have a snow cover as this very cold arctic air pours into the state.
If we did have a blanket of snow and winds were light, temperatures
could easily be 5 to 10 degrees colder than what we are expecting.
Even without snow, we are still calling for a low of 10-12 early
Friday morning. Further north in the state, there could easily be some
lows around 8 to 10. Generally across the extreme north, the lows
should be 5 to 10. If the wind goes completely calm, somebody may take
a shot at zero.

It is imperative that all precautions be taken to protect from a hard
freeze. There have been a lot of suggestions on the 33/40 Blog of
things to do. This includes the protection of pets.

At midafternoon today, the leading edge of the fresh batch of arctic
air was pushing into North Arkansas. The front will be moving through
Central Alabama at some point this evening. Temperatures had reached
the low 50s over most of Alabama this afternoon, but as nearby as
Central Missouri temperatures were in the teens with a brisk north
wind. The southward movement of the front has slowed a bit, but it
should still move through all of Alabama before daybreak.

THE OLE WIND CHILL: Years ago there was no such thing as a wind chill
index, but now we have that to deal with too. In olden times, common
sense would
tell you that if it was going to be a windy day, the cold temperatures
would feel a lot colder. Across the northern part of Alabama tomorrow,
the wind chill may dip to zero or slightly lower and it should drop
below 10 at times even down into Central Alabama.

Fortunately the 15-25 mph wind we are expecting tomorrow will diminish
quite a bit on Friday. Our coldest temperature will be Friday morning
with an average low across Central Alabama about 12. It will be almost
that cold Saturday morning, however the thermometer will recover some
into the mid 40s Saturday afternoon and again on Sunday.

PRECIPITATION: Some of our weather models shift the wind around to SW
by Saturday afternoon bringing in a little moisture from the Gulf of
Mexico by Sunday. This could set off a little bit of scattered light
rain Sunday. There could even be a few periods of light snow mixed in.
The air is so dry that there should not be accumulation.

GLOBAL ROAMING: In the war zone, high temperatures in Baghdad should
be in the low 60s for the next several days. High of 92 tomorrow in
Sydney and 77 in Cozumel. It has been estimated that the winter
relative humidity in American homes averages 13%, which is twice as
dry as the Sahara Desert. Wind chill colder than minus 50 over the
extreme northern USA today. A wind chill of minus 70 will freeze
exposed human flesh in only 30 seconds.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: For the second morning in a row, Little
Miss Molly had me out walking before sunrise. I never know what to
expect. Since those are the only trips she gets to take, I try to let
her be the boss. Yesterday she was pulling so hard on the leash that
her rear paws were digging like a mule trying to pull a plow or heavy
wagon she was in such a hurry. This morning it was just the opposite.
We stopped at least 30 times for her to sniff and inspect and reverse
directions. Even though it was still before sunrise, she excited some
community dogs by going by and our old friend, the Old Crow, was
cawing the whole time. We got home. She had a Milkbone. I had more
coffee and she headed to my favorite chair for a nap. Life goes on.

HOPE

Hope. It's something we all look for. Too often we think hope
is just a wish or a feeling. We've seen what can happen when
we put our hope-our trust-in the wrong place, people or things.

Christian hope is different. It is the confident, joyful expectation
that God is working for my good and his glory.

Do you know someone who needs hope, especially in these tough times?

...Arctic Blast Arrives Tomorrow...

BIG TIME COLD TOMORROW: Today will be rather uneventful with a sunny
sky and a high in the upper 40s, but the big story is the Arctic
express rolling in here tomorrow. We will have a hard time getting
above freezing tomorrow, and if you factor in strong northwest winds
gusting to 35 mph at times, that will drive the wind chill index down
to zero at times. Some communities north of Birmingham could very well
experience sub-zero wind chills during the day. There could be a few
scattered clouds around tomorrow, but the atmosphere will remain very
dry, and we have taken out the chance of flurries. The big deal is the
cold.

FRIDAY MORNING: The bottom will drop out late tomorrow night into
early Friday with a clear sky and diminishing wind. We are forecasting
a low of 12 degrees early Friday; if that verifies it will be our
coldest morning since January 24, 2003 when the temperature in
Birmingham dropped to 7 degrees. Of course, there will be huge spread
Friday morning due to the terrain across North-Central Alabama. We
figure most places will see a low somewhere between 10 and 15, but the
colder valleys will drop down into the 4 to 9 degree range. Ridge tops
in the inversion layer will see upper teens. But, everyone will
experience a damaging freeze.

Friday will remain very cold, but the won't be as raw thanks to a
sunny sky and light wind. Then, we will deal with one more very cold
morning early Saturday, with lows in the 11 to 16 degree range for
most spots. We should note here that there is a chance some of the
colder spots across North Alabama could remain below freezing for
almost 60 consecutive hours (from late tonight through late morning
Saturday). Birmingham should ease above freezing for at least one or
two hours tomorrow and Friday.

THE WEEKEND: We will see slowly moderating temperatures after Saturday
morning, with temperatures back in the low 40s Saturday afternoon. A
strong disturbance will bring some clouds, and even a chance of a few
sprinkles or flurries, by Sunday morning, but moisture levels will be
very limited and at this time significant precipitation is not
expected. The moderating trend will continue next week.

THINK ABOUT THE PETS: Once the cold air sets in tomorrow and Friday,
make sure to provide adequate shelter for pets also. Most dogs and
cats around here, even if they are large, are not prepared for this
kind of cold. Bring them indoors or into the basement if at all
possible starting tonight, even if you have to put them in a big box
in the kitchen. If you absolutely have to leave the pets outside: 1.
Make sure they have a continuously supply of unfrozen drinking water,
2. make sure their doghouse door faces south, 3. add a curtain or
something over the door (test it to be sure they'll go through it), 4.
put extra blankets, towels, etc. in their dog house, 5. put a sweater,
sweatshirt, or something on them if possible; Even if you just have to
cut holes in an old one of yours, it helps. However, bringing them in
is still the best alternative.

...Some Bitter Cold Weather...

POLAR BEAR WEATHER: Before this is all over with a wild imagination,
we might think we could look out and see a polar bear roaming the
Alabama landscape. Not so, of course, but we are in for a very cold
two to three day period. Before we discuss temperatures, let us
address the snow situation. We cannot say absolutely there will not be
a few flakes Thursday as the bitter cold pours in, but we left them
completely out of the forecast, because the atmosphere will be so
ultra dry. Beyond that, the only possible chance of some snow would be
on Sunday. Models indicate some light precipitation, but it would
probably be mostly light rain.

By far the most important concern is the bitter cold. Alabama
residents are simply not accustomed to temperatures this low. It is
imperative that we take all precautions against a damaging type freeze
both Friday morning and Saturday morning. The much colder air will
start pouring in on Thursday with NW wind as high as 30 mph. With
highs near freezing, the wind chill will extremely low. We have
projected our coldest temperature for the entire event to come on
Friday morning with an average low across Central Alabama around 10.
The air is going to be exceedingly dry, so some of the valley
locations could be closer to 5. In fact, in some of the traditional
cold spots in the NE Alabama valleys, we could possibly hear of a low
closer to zero. The one possible saving grace for Friday morning is
that the wind will not go completely calm before daybreak. There are
some indications we may still have a north wind of 5 to 10 at that
time. If that happens, it will keep our temperature up a bit, but it
will also feel colder because of the wind chill.

After a high near freezing on Friday, we look for a low of around 15
on Saturday morning. Afternoon temperatures Saturday should recover
well into the 40s and by Sunday afternoon we should be in the upper 40s.

GLOBAL ROAMING: There is a vast ocean of bitter cold arctic air
covering the northern USA, virtually all of Canada, Alaska, the Arctic
Ocean and over the North Pole and deep down into the other side of the
globe. We have seen temperatures as low as 69 below zero in Eastern
Siberia and 67 below on the ice cap in Greenland. All across extreme
Northern Canada, temperatures are close to 45 below. Fairly unusual in
Minnesota this morning as every single weather station in the state
reported subzero temperatures. Most of the state was well below zero.
Embarrass, in the NE part of that state, was the first prize winner
for the coldest in the lower 48 with a bitter 43 below zero.
Contrasting sharply to that was a high of 90 yesterday at Santa Ana,
California. In Alaska this morning, the coldest was 45 below at Ft.
Yukon.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Sure am glad that Little Miss Molly has
a nice warm sweater. I am sure it will default to me to go on her
early morning walk, which is sometimes before daybreak. If it is 10
degrees, with even an 8 mph wind, I will have to put on a coat and a
hat. She does not like it extremely cold, so she will probably
complete her bathroom assignments in no time flat. That will suit me
fine as fresh coffee and milkbones will be awaiting us. Life goes on.
