...Weekend Showers/Storms...

COLDER EARLY NEXT WEEK: January continues to act changeable like it has much of the month, so we will go through quite a change in temperature the next few days and from dry to wet and back to dry. We think the sequence of events will unfold like this: Mostly cloudy and cool tonight with low in the 40s, warmer tomorrow with mid 60s and windy at times. We think the showers and thunderstorms will arrive Saturday night. New evidence indicates it could be late Saturday night and showers and storms should continue rather numerous Sunday, especially during the morning. It may be late in the day and even at some point Sunday night before all of the showers get away. Monday should be a lot cooler with morning lows in the upper 30s and afternoon highs in the 40s. We may be dealing with a freeze Tuesday morning with lows in the upper 20s and highs only around 50.

A warm front moving NE out of the Gulf of Mexico will bring our increasing moisture Saturday. By early Sunday, most of the state should be in the warm sector, but a cool front will be approaching from the west. A second cold front further behind will bring the more chilly temperatures Monday and Tuesday. Monday looks windy, but drier and a lot cooler. Clouds may be slow to break up, but it looks like mostly sunshine Tuesday.

STORM ALERT XTREME: Only six days until the kick off of the 2010 Storm Alert tour. The first stop will be next Thursday night at Winfield. The 33/40 weather crew will be there with some very interesting weather stories and training material, as well as some prizes. It begins at 7:00, so get their early to get a good seat.

AROUND THE GOOD OLD USA: Unfortunately, there is some terrible weather in the west as a series of major storms continues to move inland from the Pacific Ocean. However, they are now experiencing the last storm in this series. So pronounced are these low-pressure centers that the pressure dropped to an all-time low of 28.94 inches at Salt Lake City Airport overnight. In the last 24 hours, wind gusts have peaked at over 90 mph at the peak of Ogden Mountain. Would you believe that the NWS in Tucson had to issue a Blizzard Warning for parts of Southern Arizona? In North Greenlee County, 25 to 40 inches of snow is expected; in Graham County, 20 to 30 inches and they may get an additional 6 to 10 inches tonight. At Donner Peak in the Sierra-Nevada range, 94 inches has accumulated from this storm. Elsewhere: the warmest in the nation yesterday was 85 at Edinburg, Texas; cold spot this morning included 12 below zero at Berlin, New Hampshire and 40 below at Atqasuk, Alaska.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Little Miss Molly had been sleeping real late. This morning she changed her mind. She was pounding the side of the bed of the majority owner before daylight wanting to go out. I was already up and was on my second sip of coffee. The coffee got cold, so away we went. Another longer walk at midday. She stopped at both houses of Dino and little Bo hoping to see them. The grandfather of Dino will be by this afternoon. He is real good about looking for Molly when he comes by, taking the leash off of Dino and letting them run wild in our backyard. Only thing, I cannot take the leash off Molly because she might head for Canada. I have never seen a little dog run as fast as Dino and he often runs in a huge figure eight sweeping by Molly every time he comes by. Life goes on.
