A lot of showers and thunderstorms across Alabama Sunday and Sunday night
and some of them became severe. The scattered wind damage was mostly to
trees and power lines, but one building was reported destroyed in downtown
Haleyville. There was some very heavy amounts of rain. Let's look at some
examples:

4.00 inches in Weaver (Calhoun County)
1.39 in Black Creek (1 inch fell in only 15 minutes)
1.80 at Oxford (one mile from Anniston Airport)
2.76 in downtown Florence
2.76 in Greystone Cove (North Shelby County)
2.30 at nearby Greystone Farms
2.17 at Gadsden Steam Plant
2.42 at Horseshoe Bend
1.72 in Steele
1.57 in Ft. Payne

(At Greystone Farms, 2.15 inches of the rain fell in only 30 minutes. At
Weaver, only .87 of an inch at fallen all month before yesterday's 4 inches.

SOME CHANGES AHEAD: A cool front was near the NW corner of Alabama early
this afternoon. More showers and thunderstorms were developing across
Alabama ahead of the front. Some of those will again dump very heavy rain.
The front will gradually push southeastward to central Alabama by daybreak.
Highs on Tuesday will only be in the mid 80s and the humidity will be lower,
especially on Wednesday. Night time lows will drop into the mid 60s
Wednesday morning with a mostly sunny, less humid day. Showers will start
spreading back northward on Thursday, mainly over south Alabama, but we will
see some showers and thunderstorms return to central Alabama by Friday. (See
our day-by day forecast for details)

TROPICAL WEATHER: The Atlantic Basin continues quiet. For a time the
National Hurricane Center was concerned about a disturbance south of Long
Island, but it is now merging with a frontal zone and tropical development
is not likely.

MONDAY RAMBLINGS: The temperature reached an estimated 126 in Death Valley
Sunday afternoon...the lowest in the USA this morning was 36 in Shirley
Basin, Wyoming...the Mississippi State Meteorology School reported the
hottest of the year Sunday in Starkville-100!

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: This is what I call "IS" weather. That means,
"Instant Sweat" when you step outside. That's what happened to me despite a
very early morning walk with little Miss Molly. We decided to walk the lower
track. There are so many beautiful back yards off the walking track, that it
took forever. She paid no attention to two fawn statues close to the track,
but she was temporarily spooked by a similar statue of two baby rabbits. We
came back down the middle of the street. As she approached a large black
plastic bag on the curb full of grass cuttings, she sniffed all around the
sack and did not see a jet black cat resting against the sack until she was
literally three inches away. The cat ran off several feet and stopped. Molly
was going to chase, but the cat hissed loudly. Molly literally jumped
backwards and landed between my feet for protection. She knows she is
supposed to chase cats and rabbits and play with dogs. Life goes on.
