MUCH NICER AFTER SOME STORMS: Thunderstorms were breaking out
across NW Alabama this afternoon and several have become severe. Trees were
uprooted in the Tuscumbia area early this afternoon. Several Severe
Thunderstorm Warnings have already been issued mainly over the extreme north
and NW.

These thunderstorms will continue to move east and spread southward
for the remainder of this afternoon and into the evening. They should
diminish by late tonight as cooler air moves in from the NW.

Practically all of the showers and storms across Central Alabama
should be over by midnight or later.

THE WEEKEND: Looks real good. Clearing early Saturday and mostly
sunshine for the rest of the day and all day Sunday. The humidity will be
much lower and there will be a nice north breeze both days. With a lower
humidity, the highs in the mid 80s will feel quite comfortable. Early
morning lows will be in the upper 50s. A warming trend will start Monday,
but both Monday and Tuesday should also be dry.

WEEKEND AT THE BEACH: Only a small risk of a shower or storm
Saturday. Sunday should be dry and that dry weather should last into the
early part of next week. Highs will be consistently in the upper 80s.

DATELINE TRUTH OR CONSEQUENCES: That is in New Mexico, of course,
but something a bit odd happened there yesterday. During a heavy rainstorm,
there was so much hail that it destroyed the rain gauge, so they don't know
the final total...other notes from all over...numerous house fires yesterday
in New England, mainly in Massachusetts, all caused by lightning...660
inches of snow this winter at Mt. Hood Meadows in Oregon-well above
normal...Phoenix will have a bad weekend with the thermometer. It is
expected to reach 112 Saturday and 113 Sunday, which will make it the
hottest start for June on record...114 in Death Valley was yesterday's
hottest...coolest this morning was Yellowstone National Park with 30...2.72
inches of rain in North Auburn yesterday...part of NW Alabama may have
gotten over 5 inches...a wind gust of 67 mph was recorded at Hampton Cove
Middle School in Huntsville yesterday afternoon...the Huntsville area also
had a couple of house fires caused by lightning on Tuesday.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Sure was a nice walk with Little Miss
Molly early this morning. Often she will take off up the walk like she is
trying to pull a heavily loaded wagon. This morning she was in the opposite
mood taking her own good time...it was 3 steps forward and 5 steps backward.
She had to sniff every little item on the walk. That makes it easier on me,
because often my tongue is hanging out when we get home...we saw one baby
lizard. The only down side was a lone pesky gnat that followed me the whole
time. He kept circling my head. I swung at him at least 15 times with
Molly's little blue scoop, but I ended up with a batting average exactly
.000. After we got home, Molly was immediately ready for a ballgame, so I
gave in and played several innings. Life goes on despite all the nuisances
such as gnats, spiders and fire ants.
