GREETINGS FROM SAN DIEGO…
This was my view this morning of Los Angeles Union Passenger Terminal as I got ready to head to San Diego.
Here is the beautiful Santa Fe Depot in San Diego, where the AMTRAK trains call…
The view from my room, as I get ready to head across the street to PETCO park tonight to watch the Padres play the Pirates. It will be my 24th Major League Baseball Park. I have nine to go after tonight…
ALABAMA WEATHER
Clouds are thick over northeast Alabama, a by product of wraparound moisture from that pesky upper low that is lifting the Virginia, heading north into West Virginia.
Parts of Cherokee, DeKalb and Etowah Counties are the most cloudy, with slowly thinning clouds as you head west or south. By the time you reach I-65 or I-20, skies are generaly partly cloudy. Radars are clear.
Those clouds may hang tough through much of the afternoon until the influence of the low is lifted out to the north.
Colder air aloft and some low leve surface moisture are conspiring to produce a pretty good cumulus field in areas getting sun from US-43 in Northwest Alabama, then down US-82 in central sections of the state.
Temperatures are in the 70s in the cloudier areas, and will not rise much unless sunshine breaks through.
BIG EVENT WEEKEND IN BIRMINGHAM
Some tremendous events in Birmingham this weekend.
