OUR FIRST 90-DEGREE HEAT? While some parts of Alabama have experienced some
90-degree weather already this season, it hasn't happened at Birmingham
Airport. We think tomorrow will be the first day. We have introduced the
word "hot" in tomorrow's forecast. That's when I start using that word,
although I realize that mid 80s can be quite uncomfortable with the humidity
of summer.

The chance of a shower or thunderstorm is small for Tuesday. There may be a
slightly better chance on Wednesday as a fairly rare cold front pushes down
from the NW. It should be cooler Wednesday night with temperatures falling
into the mid 60s by Thursday morning and even low 60s Friday morning. There
could even be some upper 50s in the cooler North Alabama valleys on Friday
morning. We expect mostly sunny Thursday and Friday with noticeably lower
humidity and highs in the mid 80s.

ARLENE POSTMORTEM: She is long gone. What was left of her was moving
quickly northward through Michigan today and headed for Canada. She has lost
her tropical characteristics, but she still brought some flooding to places
like Evansville, Indiana Sunday. Indianapolis got over 3 inches of rain in
the last 24 hours. Here in Alabama rainfall was extremely variable with
Arlene. The heavier amounts over the western part of the state with some
places around 5 inches.

ANOTHER TROPICAL STORM? Not sure yet, but it's beginning to look possible,
mainly because of a disturbance over the Central Caribbean. Slow development
is possible over the next day or two as it moves toward the NW. If something
could develop and reach tropical storm strength, it will be named Bret. The
next four names after that are Cindy, Dennis, Emily and Franklin.

LOOKING IN ALL DIRECTIONS: Big part of Illinois, as well as much of Iowa,
South Minnesota and SW Wisconsin under a moderate risk of severe weather
this afternoon and this evening...108 in Death Valley was the hot spot
yesterday...it was 25 in McCall, Idaho this morning...that's a small town in
SE Idaho. Last time I was there, the business district was only a couple
blocks long and had 5 or 6 bars...in Iraq, a high of 105 is forecast for
Tuesday, but a blistering 114 for Wednesday at Baghdad.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: I don't know if mockingbirds say bad words-if
they do, they emptied their vocabulary at little Miss Molly and I on our
morning walk. I wish we could powwow with them and explain that we're not
going to bother their nest. They get very upset when we walk under two
separate trees on the walking track. This morning they came diving out of
the tree to within a couple of feet of Miss Molly. She jumps up and scares
them off...Arlene brought 1.01 inches of rain to our tiny corner. The Old
Crow Creek is flowing again and even the Molly Branch, a small top of the
ground wet weather spring, had a bit of action. I sure did have to ignore
Miss Molly during Arlene, but I'm going to set aside a block of time this
afternoon to play with that little girl. I am pretty sure she keeps a list
and checks it twice on how much I play but life goes on.
