THE ALABAMA SAUNA: It feels that way today for sure with the leftover moisture from Arlene and some of our hottest temperatures so far this year. By 2:00 o’clock this afternoon, the temperature had climbed as high as 93 in Tuscaloosa, 91 in Huntsville, Cullman and Birmingham and 90 in Gadsden. That is the first time that the official Birmingham temperature had reached 90 since last August. With dew points in the 72-74 range, the humidity is no fun at all. However, we’re going to get a break from that. A cold front (well, I guess we should just call that a cool front), was pushing across Arkansas this afternoon. Ahead of that front, a Severe Thunderstorm Watch covered Middle Tennessee. The Storm Prediction Center has the NW part of Alabama under a slight risk of severe weather this afternoon and evening. However, we think they should be few in number. The air is still extremely dry above about 8,000 feet.

What few showers or storms we get should end early tomorrow morning and the humidity will start dropping later in the day. We believe that Thursday, Friday and Saturday will be dry with highs between 85 and 88 and lows 63 to 65. Somebody up in NE Alabama in a valley may experience about 58 Friday or Saturday morning.

TROPICAL WEATHER: A disturbed weather area continues to lollygag around the Central Caribbean caused by a broad trough of low pressure at the surface. There is no sign of a circulation at this time, so the reconnaissance mission for today was cancelled. Upper winds also remain unfavorable for development, so if something comes out of this, it should be slow to occur.

THREE DOT STUFF: A Moderate Risk of severe weather this afternoon and evening over all of Ohio, SE Michigan, extreme west New York State (including Buffalo) and the west half of Pennsylvania including Pittsburgh. They have had an unusual amount of that kind of threat in the last week or so...112 in Death Valley yesterday...28 this morning at the west entrance to Yellowstone National Park...in 1957 at this time, East St. Louis was flooded with 16.54 inches of rain in 24 hours. That’s the most ever recorded for the entire state of Illinois...in 1961 on this date, 106 in downtown San Francisco set their all-time heat record...at this time in 1987, 101 in Milwaukee was their first 100-degree heat in 32 years.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: I was on my way from my office to the kitchen for my first cup of coffee this morning when little Miss Molly had just awakened. She was moaning and stretching in the living area. She hopped up on the couch and put her front feet on the arm of the couch with a ball in her mouth and those big eyes looking right at me. For the second time, I cancelled the coffee and had a 10-minute romp session. When we got back from our morning walk, there was not a dry thread in my shirt and my clothes were sticking to me. It was just that uncomfortable. Even little Miss Molly, as soon as she had her treat, stretched out as far as she could on the tile part of the floor where it’s cooler to try to cool off. Life goes on in all four seasons, but Molly and I are cheering for October.
