TEMPERATURES MORE AGREEABLE: They may not be quite as cool as you
would like this time of year. At least we are rid of those mid 90s that
looked for a time like they would stick with us all year.
This afternoon there was a front of sorts across the central part of
Alabama. Dew points were 70 or better downstate but in the more pleasant 60s
across the North.
We need to wait a little longer until a better defined cool front
reached Central Alabama during the day Thursday. It will bring some widely
scattered showers as winds shift around to the NW. Highs should be in the
upper 70s.
Our coolest period will be Friday morning with lows in the 50s over
much of North Alabama. See our day by day forecast for all the details.
STORY OF A WET PENSACOLA: Will that NW Florida City get 100 inches
this year? Probably not, but is reachable. The 5.61 inches they got
yesterday brought the 2005 total to a very impressive 75.09 inches including
68 inches in less than seven months. They are now 24 inches wetter than
normal. Not far away, in Mobile, the year's total stands at 67.80 inches-a
surplus of 15.45 inches.
The heavy rain that North and West Alabama received Sunday and
Sunday night shifted SE yesterday, In the last 24 hours, 6.50 inches fell in
Wallace, in South Central Alabama and 5.60 in Brewton.
TROPICAL WEATHER: Still watching an ambitious tropical wave in the
Caribbean SE of Jamaica. It has become better organized and winds upstairs
are becoming more friendly. Seems likely that a tropical depression will
come out of this in a day or so. If it becomes a tropical storm, it will be
named Stan. A reconnaissance aircraft will go into it the area tomorrow.
Speaking of hurricanes, a major one struck the Mobile-Pensacola area
on this date in 1906, the strongest one in over 150 years.
ELSEWHERE: It has been unusually hot for so late in parts of Texas
lately. Yesterday the national high was 108 at Waco and Temple. Cold spot
this morning was 26 at Shirley Basin, Wyoming.
MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Woe is me, I will have Little Miss
Molly all to myself for the next 9 days. My wife flew to Phoenix today. She
will meet her two sisters, one from Coos Bay, Oregon and one from Layton,
Utah for a sister-sister vacation...they will migrate to Las Vegas where
they will stay in a timeshare. They will motor down to Boulder City, Nevada
to visit their aunt...when I got back from the Birmingham Airport today,
Little Miss Molly would not even take her treat until she found out about
Judy. She went all through the house searching for her...I will to spend
extra time with her...Molly has seemed subdued all day...her and Judy are
used to taking a good long nap during the day in the living area...but life
goes on...tis amazing how little animals get into a routine possibly more
strict than humans.
