CHEER UP, WEATHER WILL GET BETTER: Some big thunderstorms were roaming the Alabama countryside this afternoon and a few of them prompted Severe Thunderstorm Warnings. The thunderstorms were moving generally toward the south and SE as a weak cold front approached from the north. A Severe Thunderstorm Watch continued for at least the north half of the state.
Here in Central Alabama, the thunderstorms will be ending this evening as drier air slowly spreads in from the north. Until that time, some communities will get locally heavy rain. As of 1:30 this afternoon, we did not have any confirmed reports of damage in Alabama.
A GREAT WEEKEND: Good news for the Brunos Memorial Classic. The weekend looks dry with fairly comfortable temperatures, especially on Saturday, with highs in the lower 80s and lower humidity. It will warm up a few degrees on Sunday. (See our day-by-day forecast.)
WEEKEND AT THE BEACH: After a few morning showers on Saturday, looks great with highs in the mid 80s. Mostly sunshine on Sunday. The water temperature just offshore is about 80.
TROPICAL WEATHER: Feel a little strange to discuss tropical weather this early, but this is a most unusual situation. Hurricane Adrian moved ashore in El Salvador and was moving across Northern Honduras this afternoon as a tropical depression. It will move out into the Western Caribbean and then head toward Central Cuba. It is uncertain if it will regain tropical storm strength.
QUICK CLEAN-UP NOTES: Lots of flash flooding overnight in Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky and parts of Tennessee. Six inches of rain NE of Nashville, Indiana including 3.28 inches in one hour. Persons had to be rescued. Numerous county roads were blocked by high water across Kentucky...Louisville 2.89 inches of rain...hottest Thursday was 107 in Death Valley...for the second morning in a row, Saranac Lake, New York was the cold spot with 26.
MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: As little Miss Molly and I took our first walk this morning, there was a very interesting incident. Two birds on the ground in the hedgerow got into a fist fight. Little Miss Molly performed the task of a 9-pound police dog, became airborne and landed right on top of the birds. They immediately quit fighting and flew away. Sure was funny...a nice note from Juannelle Ritchie. She works with a professional pet sitter and wanted to suggest that I be very careful in letting little Miss Molly dive into a hedgerownot just because of snakes. Juannelle knows of a case where a cocker spaniel did that and something poked her in the. Unfortunately, now that little dog is blind in that eye. She reminds us all that our pets cannot tell us if they have a boo-boo, so we need to be extra careful...it had to happen. Little Miss Molly finally discovered my private corner next to the bookshelves and she has semi taken over my easy chair where I get my education, but life goes on.
