MISS MOLLY ON VACATION: J.B. Elliott, the Alabama weather legend, is taking
a couple of days off, so no Miss Molly stories until Thursday. We don't own
a dog or cat. the big deal in "my little corner of the world" is the end of
baseball season. Our seven year old son plays in the "machine pitch" league
at a local ball park, and his team is in the championship game that will be
played Thursday night. I am one of those "dugout dads" that tries to
maintain order and provide motivational speeches when needed. This has been
an interesting year, the team won the first seven games, then hit a slump
losing four out of five, but they have come back big, winning every game
since then with a big run through the tournament. These are great memories
for a father and son; ones you carry with you for the rest of your life

BACK TO BUSINESS: A nice surge of cooler air moves into the state tonight.
We expect the mercury to drop into the 50 to 55 degree range by daybreak
tomorrow, with upper 40s possible in some of the colder spots. Tomorrow will
feature ample sunshine, low humidity, and very comfortable temperatures for
late May in Alabama. Most places won't even reach the 80 degree mark.

REST OF THE WEEK: For now, we will maintain a rain-free forecast on Thursday
and Friday, with lots of sunshine and only a slow warming trend.

MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND: Looks like we will start the weekend off rain-free on
Saturday, but wet weather should return before the weekend is over. A few
showers could show up by Sunday, with showers and storms more likely on
Memorial Day. There are indications in the longer range models that much of
next week will be relatively wet, which is not necessarily bad news.
Birmingham has a rainfall deficit in excess of five inches for the year, and
hopefully that will present an opportunity to get some good soil moisture in
the ground.

AT THE BEACH: Lots of sunshine for the central Gulf coast for the rest of
the week; any showers will be very widely spaced. Daytime temperatures will
peak in the 80 to 85 degree range, and sea water temperatures remain close
to 80 degrees. There will be scattered showers and storms along the coast
over the coming holiday weekend, but nothing at this point to suggest a
wash-out.

SOUTHWEST HEAT: Intense heat has claimed at least 12 lives over the part
four days across the deserts of Arizona, mostly along the Mexican border.
Most of those that died were illegal immigrants. The hottest places in the
nation yesterday were Bullhead City, AZ and Death Valley, CA with 113
degrees. Phoenix reached 106, while the high in Tucson was 105.

ALABAMA HEAT: Mobile soared to 94 degrees yesterday. The mercury reached 93
at Evergreen, 92 at Troy, and 91 at Selma.

DID YOU KNOW? The hottest temperature on record in Birmingham is 107
degrees, recorded on July 29, 1930. Statewide, the hottest temperature on
record is 112 degrees, recorded at Centreville on September 5, 1925.
