WAITING AND WATCHING: Maybe we should have a big parade when that cold front comes through Central Alabama by midday tomorrow. Surely there will be dancing in the streets after all the hot weather and air quality alerts weÂve had lately. I jokingly told one of our readers that we would bill them for this nice change in weather, but that we would also give S&H green stamps, which most of you are too young to remember.
That cold front is expected to be close to the Alabama-Tennessee border tomorrow morning. We think it will move through the Tuscaloosa-Birmingham-Anniston areas around midday. Look for some scattered showers and thunderstorms along and ahead of the front. There is always a chance of a strong storm with a big change like this, but we donÂt expect that many showers and storms.
It will be clearing tomorrow night. After that Friday, Saturday and Sunday will be as nice as you could expect for early August. IÂm going out on a limb a bit and predict that someplace in north Alabama will report a 53-degree low Saturday morning. Here in central Alabama we look for an average of 58. Another big bonus is much lower humidity, especially Friday and Saturday.
WeÂre not the only ones in for a nice break. Even down at Gulf Shores highs Saturday and Sunday will be in the upper 80s with mostly sunshine and lower humidity. There are some indications that this front will eventually push all the way into south Florida. In Orlando, the official forecast calls for Âsunny and less humid on Saturday with a high of 88.Â
TROPICAL WEATHER: No more worry about Hurricane Alex. He is moving faster
and faster out into the open Atlantic. By the time you read this, he will be about 700 miles ENE of the North Carolina Outer Banks.
Meanwhile, the second tropical depression of the season was moving rapidly west about 390 miles SE of San Juan, Puerto Rico. Even though it remains pretty organized, it should become tropical storm Bonnie in the next 24 hours.
THE SUN FINALLY DISAPPEARED: At Barrow, on the north coast of Alaska, the sun finally went down Monday for the first time in almost three months. It did not stay away long. After setting at 1:54 a.m., it rose again one hour and 20 minutes later. That region, of course, has 24 hours of sunlight in summer, while this winter will bring 24 hours of darkness. Have you noticed that our days are also getting shorter? Official sunset for Birmingham today is 7:45, but in late June and early July the sun set 16 minutes later. WeÂve also lost 26 minutes of sunlight in the early morningÂa net loss of 42 minutes since our longest day.
MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: It is unheard of, but little Miss Molly slept
until 9 this morning. That gave me 4 hours of quiet time. I always automatically wake up at 5. ItÂs my fault that MollyÂs sleep is all mixed up. We had another play session shortly after midnight, so she was pooped. One thing for sureÂif we get down to our forecast 58 degrees Saturday morning, IÂm going to drag Molly out of bed at 5 and have a long walk with her. Sure have spent a lot of time playing with Molly in the last 24 hours. IÂm glad you canÂt hear our conversation when we walk together. I talk to her like sheÂs a young child. In one sense she is. Our lives are intertwined and life goes merrily and too rapidly along.
