==================================================================

SLOW-MOVING THUNDERSTORMS: A big blanket of humid air is still
draped across Alabama. The atmosphere is very sluggish, so thunderstorms
that develop in the afternoon heat will be slow movers allowing some
communities to get very heavy amounts of rain while other places stay dry.
The upper air profile over the Birmingham area suggest that storms that do
form will be moving very slowly toward the north at only 2 or 3 mph.

Scattered, mostly afternoon, thunderstorms will be the order of the
day through Friday. We will still be subject to some storms over the
weekend, but fewer in number. This is especially true on Sunday when the
storms should be widely separated. This will also allow the thermometer to
creep up a few degrees, so highs over the weekend should be in the 93-95
range.

Yesterday's storms caused some problems. There was a flash flood
death in the Tarrant area. A cluster of storms formed just north and NE of
downtown Birmingham and moved NE all the way to Gadsden. More than an inch
of rain fell in Center Point and 1.88 inches in Clay. The two-day total
three miles east of Pinson was 3.80 inches including 2.30 yesterday. The
heaviest rain of all was 2.64 inches at Steele in North St. Clair County.

TROPICAL WEATHER: Emily is now well inland over NE Mexico and
should be downgraded to a tropical storm fairly soon. She was dumping very
heavy amounts of rain which may cause life-threatening flash floods.
Isolated amounts could reach 15 inches, mostly over NE Mexico. The dry Rio
Grande valley of South Texas got a good soaking. They needed rain badly, but
most of the stronger winds were down over Northern Mexico.

No sooner is Emily getting out of the way, than we have something
else to watch. A tropical wave is producing widespread thunderstorms over
the Dominican Republic, Haiti and Puerto Rico. The winds upstairs are
gradually getting more favorable for development. Some of the models,
especially designed for hurricanes, bring the system across Florida into the
NE Gulf of Mexico.

COOKING IN THE SOUTHWEST: 117 in Las Vegas, Bullhead City, Arizona,
and Needles, California yesterday. The low this morning in Las Vegas was 95.
The hottest was 129 in Death Valley, which was within 5 degrees of the
hottest ever in the USA at that same station.

A STATE OF CONTRAST: You can sure find some interesting contrast in
temperature across California. Yesterday up on the cool, breezy NW coast the
high was only 60 in Eureka, while Death Valley had 129.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: On our morning walk, Little Miss Molly
and I went up the walking track. When we came back, she got more and more
apprehensive. The grass cutters had cranked up the mowers and Molly stopped
stone still not wanting to come home. The noise gets to her like thunder and
vacuum cleaners. So we waited until the mowers went around front and we
dashed in the back door. She was glad to get to safety and have a nice
treat. Miss Molly's food sure does smell good. If it tastes as good as it
smells, I wouldn't mind having some myself. I wonder what Miss Molly would
think if I would get down on my all fours side-by-side with her and start
eating her food. She already thinks I'm crazy but life goes on.
