THE TWO FACES OF MAY: This month so far could be divided into two
noticeably separate parts across Central Alabama. For 13 days in a row,
between the 5th and 17th, the average high temperature was a cool 73 and the
average low 55. Since May 18, daily highs have averaged 87 and it was 90
yesterday. We have only received 0.20 rainfall since May 11-a period of 13
days. Let's be thankful that this month has not been like 1962 when there
were 24 days in a row with temperatures in the 90s and no measurable rain
until the last three days of the month.
BACK TO THE PRESENT: Humid weather will continue for at least the
next 5 to 7 days with highs in the upper 80s to around 90 and lows close to
70. Cannot rule out a shower or a thunderstorm any day, although a slightly
better chance early next week. There is also a better chance of some showers
and thunderstorms tomorrow over extreme North Alabama, but only widely
scattered ones in the Tuscaloosa-Birmingham-Anniston corridor.
AT THE BEACH: All the way through early next week, highs should be
around 88 to 90 a few miles inland, but a few degrees cooler along the
immediate beach area thanks to the sea breeze effect. More sun than clouds.
Only a slight chance of a shower or storm each day, except maybe a little
better chance Sunday and Monday.
DATELINE ST. PAUL ISLAND: It is just off the west coast of Alaska
and they have a long weather record. A few years ago in the middle of the
night, residents were startled to hear thunder and to see lightning. Why
would they be startled? Because St. Paul Island had gone 30 years without
recording a thunderstorm.
SEVERE WEATHER: The Storm Prediction Center posted a moderate risk
today for Kentucky, SE Indiana and the west 2/3 of Ohio. A slight risk
extended eastward to include Virginia and North Carolina and south to the
Tennessee River. Tomorrow there is a slight risk for most of Tennessee,
South Kentucky, East Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and the
extreme north parts of Georgia and Alabama.
ROAMING THE CONTINENT: More wildfires breaking out in the Texas
Panhandle and near Colorado Springs...110 at Wink, Texas was Wednesday's
hottest in the USA...30 was the low this morning at Stanley, Idaho and
Whitefield, New Hampshire. It was only 2 degrees colder than that in Alaska
with 28 at Chalkyitsik...in far Northern Canada, it was 13 at Alert, the
northernmost weather station in North America.
MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Sure glad you can't hear me and Little
Miss Molly talk to each other. Yubie- dubie-doo is what I say to her when I
am ready to play ball. She clearly understands that and even if she is
asleep she will race to gather up her balls and get the game under way. I
believe she would play ball most of her waking hours...this morning the
Sassafras Trio was singing again in the top of the sassafras tree along the
walking track. Sure wish our friend, one of the old crows, could have chimed
in to sing bass. Then we could call it the Sassafras Quartet. Not much
excitement this morning except Molly triggered four other dogs into a chorus
of their own...the ant population is larger this year...Molly paused over an
ant bed to do her business. She did not linger. Life goes on. -J B Elliott
