WHERE IS THE FRONT?: It's a good question and occasionally we weather
people have a tough time finding it. The frontal boundary is teasing the
Birmingham area this afternoon. Up in north Alabama, the dew points are in
the low to mid 60s, but from Birmingham southward they are 70 or better.
We think just enough cool air will infiltrate our area tonight, so we're
going to call for a low of 68 by morning, which will feel fairly good
compared to recent moisture-laden early mornings. There will be few, if any,
evening thunderstorms today, but some scattered ones down state. Friday will
also be sparse with thunderstorms. This won't last long. Moisture will start
surging back northward from the Gulf of Mexico and showers and thunderstorms
will be increasing late Friday night and especially on Saturday. Some folks
may see heavy rain on Saturday. An interesting scenario for the weekend.
There are some hints of another frontal boundary moving into the state
during the day Sunday. This may keep the best chance of thunderstorms south
of I-20 on Sunday. We're going out on a limb a bit and calling for mostly
sunny and a little less humid Monday.

YESTERDAY'S STORMS: A lot of biggies and quite a few reports of wind
damage, but we don't know of significant damage. It was mostly to trees and
power lines. At one time, most of Pell City was without power. Despite all
the storms the last few days, Birmingham Airport has been left high and dry
and our rainfall deficit for the year is now approaching 4 inches. As much
as 4 to 5 inches of rain fell in extreme NW Alabama yesterday.

AIR QUALITY: The Birmingham metro area was under a code yellow again today
which means moderate air quality. That has been the pattern lately.

TROPICAL WEATHER: The Atlantic Basin remains amazingly quiet with still no
hint of tropical development for the next few days.

MY LITTLE THOUGHTS: Hope you don't mind me occasionally roaming far and
wide to look at the weather in other parts. I like to think globally when it
comes to weather and to not spend this entire column on just Alabama...it
was 115 yesterday in Death Valley...the cool spots this morning Truckee,
California, Lakeview, Oregon and Barrow, Alaska all with 37. "mostly sunny
tonight." yes, that sounds strange, but it was correct. That was a recent
forecast for a northern Canadian location. Remember, they're in 24 hours of
daylight. One more thing, it was 109 below zero today at Vostok, Antarctica
today. That blows my little pea-picking mind, as Tennessee Ernie Ford loved
to say.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: After getting only three hours sleep Wednesday
night and no power naps yesterday due to severe weather, I decided to hit
the sack as soon as the severe weather detail ended last night. At 9:00 p.m.
I hit the king-sized bed. At 9:01, guess who joined me. I felt a plunk and
little Miss Molly was standing on my chest with a toy in her mouth. She left
and came back with two more and I felt like I was being invaded. Net
result-we had an hour long play session on the bed letting her chase her
toys and cuddling. I felt like I had made up to her for a lot of lost
playtime lately. Life goes on-sleep or no sleep, storms or sunshine...we
love life.
