IN SEARCH OF RAIN: Do not get your hopes up too much, but at least we
do have enough evidence to mention rain in the forecast for the next 5
days at least. The way the weather pattern is developing, people over
in West Alabama will have a better chance than the people in the east.
The closer you get to the Mississippi border, the better the chance.

This afternoon the sea breeze front was noticeable in extreme South
Alabama as some scattered thunderstorms were moving inland. An old
frontal boundary that had sat down to rest in the extreme south, was
also trying to work its way northward. All of this means that moist
air will be moving back northward, but all the other ingredients
including the upper air profile, will favor the best chance of showers
over the western part of the state. See our day-by-day forecast for
specifics. High temperatures will back off a few degrees over the next
several days hanging out around 88 to 90. That is a lot better than
the mid 90s.

AT THE BEACH: Generally good weather this weekend and early next
week. Only a small chance of a shower or a thunderstorm each day with
more sun than clouds. They will have a slightly better chance of
showers and storms tomorrow. Highs consistently in the upper 80s.

TROPICAL WEATHER: There is a weak tropical wave over the Western
Caribbean moving steadily westward. An upper level low may be trying
to form in the same area. However, there is not expected to be any
tropical formation over the next few days. Interesting to note that on
this date in 1972, Tropical Storm Agnes was born in that same general
area and become a hurricane.

WAR ZONE WEATHER: In Basrah, Iraq, highs will be between 116 and 120
over the next 5 days with clear weather. Lows around 91. Baghdad will
have 110-116 each day. In Afghanistan, the highs in Kabul will be in
the mid 80s.

ROAMING: 87 in Denver yesterday sure was welcome after a record 102
on Wednesday...112 in Wink, Texas was the USA hottest...30 this
morning in Stanley, Idaho where you can look off to the south and see
the jagged peaks of the Sawtooth Mountains...it was 28 this morning in
Wainwright, Alaska.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: My little pal and I had one of the most
rambunctious ballgames ever last night and when we finished, we both
felt like we had completed a marathon. Both tongues were hanging out.
I sat down on the couch to read the paper. Out of the corner of my eye
I saw a little black object airborne and coming right at me. It was
Little Miss Molly. She had grabbed one of her balls and plopped down
right in my lap. She started shaking the ball vigorously right in my
face. If that is not a distinct request, I do not know what is. On our
morning walks, we are trying to go early each day due to the heat.
This morning we were serenaded by a mockingbird sitting on the highest
point of Molly's house. We did not see another dog or human. Have not
heard our new friend that barks in a long monotone and ending in a
sudden high note in a long time. We miss him. We also miss the
community rabbits and community cats. They must be in hiding because
of the heat. And we never get enough of the old crows. They must be on
vacation some place. Hope the crows and October hurry back. Life goes
on.
