HEATING UP THEN COOLING OFF: We have seen more than the usual number of
"cool fronts" slide through central Alabama in the last couple of weeks. Now
we have another one on the far north horizon that may give us some very
pleasant weekend temperatures and much lower humidity.

Unfortunately before that happens, we will have to deal with some very hot
weather. There is a chance that Wednesday may be our hottest day so far this
year and even tomorrow will come close. As that cool front gets closer to
the Alabama-Tennessee border, some scattered showers and thunderstorms will
occur Thursday, but it will turn cooler later Thursday night. Friday should
be mostly sunny with a nice drop in humidity and high temperatures backing
off to the mid 80s. By Saturday morning, we could see temperatures as low as
60 with some upper 50s in the cooler north Alabama valleys.

TROPICAL WEATHER: Tropical Storm Alex was moving slowly NNE this afternoon
from a position about 115 miles SE of Charleston. He should continue NE and
the center may be slowly approaching the Carolina coast line over the next
24 hours. He has the potential to reach hurricane force in the next day or
so. Meanwhile, well out in the Atlantic, a tropical wave was 900 miles east
of the Windward Islands moving west at 20 mph. In the next day or so, that
could become tropical storm Bonnie.

DATELINE HACKLEBURG: That is a neat town in NW Alabama, located on US 43 in
extreme North Marion County between Russellville and Hamilton. It's the home
town of country music star Sonny James. They really got inundated Saturday
morning. David Brown, who doubles as the official NWS observer and a 33/40
weather watcher, reported 5.60 inches of rain in only two hours! Guin, also
in Marion County got four inches.

HOW DID WE DO IN JULY? As usual, a great variation in rainfall amounts due
to the scattered nature of summer thunderstorms. Here are some totals for
July:

3.31 inches at Birmingham Airport with rain on 11 days.
7.05 at Anniston Airport occurring on 9 days
2.98 at Tuscaloosa on 11 days
6.09 at Greystone Farms on 9 days
5.00 in Vincent
8.12 in Hackleburg
3.04 at Smith Station on 9 days (Lee County)
8.49 at Florence (Central Highlands) on 13 days

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Little Miss Molly keeps one step ahead of us.
She found a mechanical pencil and chewed off both ends. Also, she went in
the bathroom and got a heavy floor mat almost half her weight, drug it all
the way into the living area and was wrestling with it. That's the first
time she's bothered anything like that. She also has a bed on the floor and
she often flips it over time after time all the way across the room. I have
been playing with her using four balls. While she's chasing one across the
room, I kick or toss the others and it drives her up the wall. She will come
running back to me and drop one of the balls on my feet, then dash off to
retrieve another. After about 10 minutes of that, her little tongue is
almost touching the floor. We enjoy life together and life goes on.
