BETTER WEATHER EARLY NEXT WEEK: That's the way it looks now, although it's
not sealed in stone. There are increasing indications that our next cool
front will reach this area late Sunday or early Monday. In fact, some of the
forecast models indicate that the front will eventually push all the way to
the Gulf Coast. We think that showers will be ending in this area early
Monday or maybe even Sunday night. This should be followed by clearing
weather on Monday and a noticeable drop in the humidity. Low temperatures
will be in the more pleasant mid 60s for the first part of next week. Until
all of that neat stuff takes place, we will have more showers and
thunderstorms through Sunday. We think our better chances will be Saturday
and Sunday, but we will have a decent chance also tomorrow.

TROPICAL WEATHER: Tropical Storm Frances was growing stronger 1100 miles
east of the Lesser Antilles this afternoon. She will become a hurricane at
any time, in fact, she may eventually become a major hurricane. The
long-range track forecast brings her north of the Leeward Islands by Tuesday
morning. After that...nothing is certain.It is a case where the SE Coast of
the USA could be in her path. There is also an area of nervous weather off
the coast of the Carolinas. Not expected to amount to much.

NOTES FROM FAR AND WIDE: Stormy weather in the Midwest for several
days...this afternoon there is a moderate risk for much of Iowa...in NE
Mississippi, 6.54 inches of rain in the last 24 hours at Iuka. A whole lot
of additional rain had fallen earlier than that...more than 2 inches in NW
Alabama at Hamilton and also more than 2 inches in East Alabama in Anniston
and Wadley...USA cold spots this morning, 27 in Eagle, Alaska and 32 in
Yellowstone National Park. An additional 2 inches of snow was expected in
parts of Yellowstone today with temperatures dropping to 26-32 tonight.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Little Miss Molly had a wonderful birthday and
all of the e-mail birthday greetings are much appreciated...they will all be
acknowledged...don't tell anyone that I slipped little Miss Molly three very
small pieces of angel food cake so she could remember having a birthday
cake. I will probably get fussed at because it is "human" food...our sunrise
walk this morning was as quiet as could be. Not a single bird seen or heard.


I assume they are on strike...only thing "exciting" was a very young
earthworm about five inches long coming down the track headed SW toward
Birmingham. At the rate it was going, I estimate it will take five years to
get downtown. Molly wanted to gobble it up, but I said no. I am sure it will
end up as link sausage for a bird...Molly exercised her right of eminent
domain this morning, seizing my recliner for a long, long nap and preventing
me from taking one of my famous 15-minute power naps. I did not mind. We
celebrate birthweeks instead of birthdays so Molly will be the boss for six
more days. Life goes on.
