COOLER NIGHTS AND LESS HUMID DAYS: It was 90 or better over much of Central and South Alabama this afternoon. However, up north the dew point had already dropped to near 60 in some of those quaint towns up the Paint Rock River, such as Garth, Trenton, Princeton, Hollytree and Estilfork. It was also near 60 all across the northern third of the state from Cullman north. Translation: a noticeable drop in humidity.

That’s going to be the story for the next several days and high temperatures will also back off several degrees, mostly to the mid 80s. Some places might touch 90 again tomorrow, however.

There is one little roach in the honey. This type weather pattern sometimes permits a family of strong thunderstorms to form in the plains and migrate toward the SE. It’s called an MCS. There is some hint this will happen, but it appears it will pass off to our west down through Mississippi. Some of the weather models place it further east. On the cautious side, we have introduced a chance of a few showers or thunderstorms Friday afternoon. For the weekend, however, it should go back to mostly sunshine and continued lower than normal humidity.

TROPICAL WEATHER: The North-Central Caribbean continues to be a little irritable due to an upper level low. It has become less organized since yesterday and the winds upstairs are not favorable for development. Far down in the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico, a disturbed weather area continued over the Bay of Campeche because of a tropical wave moving slowly west. Although surface pressures have not been falling, upper level winds are favorable for development. An air force plane will investigate Thursday. It may not have time to develop much because it is so close to land, but we will watch and wait.

SKIPPING AROUND FAR AND WIDE: Way too hot in the NE for mid-June, but big relief is on the way. It was 95 in New York and JFK Airport yesterday. It will only be in the mid 80s today. Washington will drop from 92 to 83 tomorrow. Boston was expecting a high of only 58 today...30 at Redmond, Oregon was the lowest in the nation this morning...115 at Death Valley was the hottest...a rare tsunami warning on the Pacific coast last night. We saw network video of people running in Coos Bay, Oregon That startled us a bit because my wife’s sister and nephew live there. Fortunately, nothing developed.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Walked with my 9-pound little pal early this morning, just after a workman had mowed the grass in the common area around the walking track. This meant that bugs of all kinds, especially grasshoppers, were hopping around. So was little Miss Molly—her version of a safari. She was jumping up and down trying to pounce on a bug. I didn’t want her eating those. Not far up the track, we saw Jo-Jo, a beautiful smaller dog that Molly is clearly in love with. She fast forwarded toward him and I had to lean back on the leash. As she got close, she paused and looked bashful, but she and Joe-Jo kissed (rubbed noses). Then both of them went round and round the bathroom (tree trunk). I suppose they can tell who all has been there in the last several hours. Life goes on amongst the grasshoppers, bugs and birds.
