AVOIDING HURRICANE EMILY: And, mind you, she is a good one to avoid. We
don't think she will affect the Mississippi-Alabama-NW Florida coast at all,
except possibly increasing the swells through at least tomorrow. Instead she
is headed for the upper Mexican coast and possibly the lower Texas coast.
More on that in the full Emily story below.

Meanwhile, back home in Alabama, the weather is settling down into more
typical fashion for mid-summer. We still can't rule out daily showers and
thunderstorms for the rest of the week. They will be scattered on most days
and extend into the evening hours. We do think by this weekend that those
pesky showers and storms will be fewer in number. Meanwhile, the old
thermometer is going to creep upward a bit eventually reaching the mid-90s
by late in the week and the weekend.

All of the showers and thunderstorms so far in July have kept us in good
shape in the rainfall department. Even though the humidity has been quite
high, the temperatures have been held down a bit. Let's focus on Anniston
Airport for the first 17 days of July. Measurable rain fell on 16 of those
17 days for a total of over 6 inches. The average high temperature all month
has been only 88. On 9 days it didn't even reach 90 and on 2 days the high
was only 79. That is quite unusual for July, which is normally our hottest
month.

REAL HEAT: Don't tell me it's the humidity, not the heat. I have been in
the desert a number of times and I can tell you that 100-degree plus
temperatures are very noticeable. The Desert SW is having some extremely hot
weather now-even by their standards. The national high yesterday was 128 in
Death Valley and Cameron, California. That's only 6 degrees shy of the
hottest ever recorded in the USA and within 8 degrees of the highest ever
recorded in the whole world which was 136 in the Libyan Desert. Tucson had
111 Sunday-their 34th day in a row with 100 or hotter. It was 116 in Phoenix
and Las Vegas.

HURRICANE EMILY: She moved across the northern part of Yucatan and emerged
over the southern Gulf of Mexico this morning. A Hurricane Watch is posted
as far north on the Texas coast as Baffin Bay, which is about 35 miles south
of Corpus Christi. The National Hurricane Center still favors landfall some
30 or 40 miles south of the mouth of the Rio Grande. The water temperature
at the Bay of Campeche Buoy was a very warm 86 this afternoon, so Emily will
grow stronger before making landfall late Tuesday night as a major
hurricane.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Sure did play a lot with little Miss Molly
over the weekend to make up for several days in a row with no play because
of extra weather duties. She stayed on the ready the whole time and kept a
pile of toys where she could grab one and meet me when I walked out of my
weather office to go get coffee. She still looks so funny with her short
haircut. She almost looks like a "weenie" dog. Her face is so tiny she could
win over anybody just looking at them. Molly is very excited about a new
miniature Dachshund that just moved in a couple of houses away. There is
also a young Shih-tzu next door to the Dachshund, still another Shih-tzu up
the walking track and two other Shih-tzus that visit occasionally. With all
the humans around that also love Molly, she can't possibly feel neglected.
Life goes on.
