================================================
GET READY FOR MORE RAIN: It has been almost a continuing story in the last several weeks—a story of a parade of low-pressure areas moving across the southern states. Some of those come out of the southwest; others form over the NW Gulf of Mexico and move NE. Those usually bring a lot of rain. Again, I am getting the wagon before the mule. We will not have any rain right away. It should start at some point Thursday and become widespread late in the day and all night Thursday night. The rain will be heavy at times. The rain will persist most of Friday. We could even have a little bit of lingering light rain into Saturday morning and it is not totally out of the question to see a few Saturday morning flakes.
Colder air was slowly spreading into the area today and by morning low temperatures will be somewhere between 29 and 33 across Central Alabama and maybe some mid 20s in the colder valleys. We do not see any real mild weather all the way into early next week, but our high in the 40s and 50s will sure feel comfortable when you think about the first half of January and our recent cold.
OUR COMING STORM: By Wednesday afternoon, another low-pressure area will be forming along the lower Texas coast and will move to the Louisiana coast on Thursday. By Friday, the low will be centered in the Biloxi, Mobile, Pensacola area and by Saturday morning off the Virginia coast. One of our lovely weather models predicts a total of 2 inches of rain from this whole system for the Birmingham area. We think it might be more like 1.50 to 1.70.
FOOTBALL WEATHER: A semi-important football game will be Sunday in Miami called the Super Bowl or something like that. South Florida has been inundated the last couple of days. The town of Cooper City received 7.90 inches in the last 24 hours and there was over 5 inches at Hollywood. We believe things will look better for game time Sunday with high temperatures in the lower 70s and partly sunny dry weather.
ROAMING AND RAMBLING: The weather is always interesting in other parts of the globe. The coldest this morning was 22 below zero at Embarrass and Orr in NE Minnesota. There is 21 inches of snow still on the ground in that general area. In Alaska, it was 35 below at Arctic Village. Good ole Deadhorse had 14 below with visibility of ¼ mile in snow and blowing snow with gusts to 42 mph and a wind chill of 46 below. The daily snow survey this morning showed 63% of the lower 48 states with a snow cover.
STORM ALERT 2010: Remember, it is tonight instead of Thursday night. It will be at the Gadsden Convention Hall starting at 7:00 p.m. Get there early. The doors open at 5:00. Lots of very interesting weather programs and even some prizes.
MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: I think I will start getting Molly out of bed when I get up at 5:00 each morning and have a chat with her and ask her what her plans are for me for the rest of the day. She has a knack of ringing that little backdoor bell (bathroom break) at some of the most inconvenient times for me. I can hear the bell all the way through the house to my office. If I do not respond rather quickly, she goes to option number two which is to come in my office, look up in my eyes and glare at me. If I still do not respond, she goes to option three which is a low muffled bark or growl. By that time, it is urgent, so I get up, grab the leash and away we go. Sometimes we walk a full half mile at top-notch speed. She always expects a treat when we get home. Sometimes I think she has me totally under control, but I do not mind. (Majority owner says to leave out sometimes.) Life goes on.....
