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

THE ALABAMA STORY: Unfortunately it is a continuing story of mostly
dry weather and we will have to deal with some hotter afternoon
temperatures. It will not stay dry forever, but we see very little chance of
any showers or thunderstorms over the weekend. We omitted them from the
forecast. A few may show up Monday afternoon, but our better chance will be
in the middle of next week about Wednesday and Thursday. Even then not
everyone will get rain. Temperatures had already soared into the middle 90s
over West Alabama by noon.

INDEPENDENCE DAY: We should have more sun than clouds. There will
be some widely scattered afternoon thunderstorms, but most communities will
stay dry. Highs should be in the lower 90s.

RED FLAG WARNING: The Alabama Forestry Commission has posted that
for the entire state due to conditions becoming very dry in our woodlands.

OZONE: A Code Orange Ozone Alert was in effect again today for the
Metropolitan Birmingham area including Jefferson and Shelby Counties.

TROPICAL AND COASTAL NOTES: If you are going to the Alabama-NW
coast for the holiday weekend, this weekend should be mostly dry with highs
in the lower 90s. There will be improving chances of scattered showers and
thunderstorms Monday and Tuesday with highs around 88. There is a disturbed
weather area over the far SW Gulf of Mexico. Pressure remains relatively
high and upper winds do not favor tropical development. The showers and
thunderstorms should move slowly NW over the next couple of days. Sea
surface temperatures are already quite warm in the Gulf with 85 degrees at a
buoy about 300 miles south of Panama City and around 88 close in to the
Alabama-NW Florida coast.

FINAL THOUGHTS FOR FRIDAY: A quick check of war zone weather in
Iraq shows clear weather with highs 110-114 in Basrah over the next 5 days
and 107-111 in Baghdad...coolest temperatures this morning in the USA
included 40 in Yellowstone National Park and 36 at Point Hope,
Alaska...interesting story about a foreign tornado. It happened at Victoria,
Australia cutting a 43-mile track stripping bare thousands of huge gum
trees, killing sheep and cattle and taking down miles of fencing.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Miss Molly was looking forward to
another calm and collected day full of naps and ballgames but the yard
people came by and when they cranked up those big mowers, Molly scooted.
Yesterday she did not have any peace and quiet because of deep cleaning of
our house. She may be wanting to leave us for good. She was so tired from
yesterday's interruption, that she slept in one tiny spot all night on the
corner of the bed without moving a muscle. She loves her beauty sleep. That
is the only thing that takes precedence over ballgames and a long casual
walk around the walking track. She continues to keep me young, Life goes on.
