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

ALL ABOUT ALABAMA: A blanket of warm, humid air drapes the state. Maybe we
should say hot, humid air because daily high temperatures continue to flirt
with the magic 90-degree mark. I have always said that 90 sounds a lot
hotter than 89. It's a psychological thing.

The chance of getting a cooling shower or storm will be quite small for the
next two days. But we see an increase in showers and storms late in the
weekend and early next week. There are some indications that a cold front
may become brave enough to try to slip in here sometime next week. But this
is a graveyard for cold fronts in summer. Even if it makes it, we will only
feel a slight drop in daytime humidity and slightly cooler nights. (See our
day-by-day forecast for our latest thinking on this.)

LOOKING IN ALL DIRECTIONS: Texas still bothered by too much rain...in the
last 24 hours, 3.76 inches at Austin, 3.55 at Childress, 4.27 at New
Braunfels, and 2.11 in San Antonio...Houston now almost 10 inches above
normal for the year so far...Victoria 200% of normal so far!...Texas also
had the hottest temperature yesterday, 104 at Wink...coldest in the lower
connected 48 states this morning was 25 at Grand Canyon Airport on the south
rim...tonight in Colorado's high country it will be as low as 25 in places
like Climax and on Tennessee Pass with winds up to 30 mph...Bill Murray and
family vacationing in one of my favorite places-the North Carolina Outer
Banks.

TROPICAL WEATHER: The Atlantic Basin which includes the Caribbean and the
Gulf of Mexico is still calm, complacent, inactive, unexciting (your choice
of words).

WEEKEND AT THE BEACH: Highs along the immediate coast will be 86-88 but
inland, at places like Bay Minette and Mobile, about 92. Scattered
thunderstorms Friday and Saturday but still good intervals of sunshine. An
increase in showers and storms Sunday and Monday. The sea surface
temperature near Dauphin Island is about 82.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: My new nickname for my Little Miss Molly is "8
Pound Rat" at least until her hair grows out again. A big concert again by
the CMBs (Community Mocking Birds.) It was an extremely loud concert by at
least three or four birds...by far the loudest noise in the community. It
sounded like City Stages or Riverfest...maybe they scared our Old Crows
away...sure wish they would return...one of our readers thinks all of our
crows moved to her garden because he has had to replant her corn three
times...Molly looks like a "drowned rat" now when she finishes the first
half-mile walk...this from "doing her business" in the grass loaded with dew
and chasing every bug in the community...on night walks now she is obsessed
with chasing lightning bugs (fireflies) and loping high as she can to try to
pull them down...she is crazy...which matches my personality but, remember,
crazy people live 15 years longer...so my extended life goes on!
