BETTER PROMISES OF RAIN? We could certainly use some. We
received a note from Michael Mills, the 33/40 weather watcher for
Alabaster, reporting that it rained only 3 of the 30 days in June. It
is beginning to look encouraging, but not right away. We still have
some hot, humid, hazy weather to deal with again tomorrow. There will
be an increase in showers and thunderstorms on Wednesday, as a rare
July cool front tries to force itself down into our corner of the
world. The front may squeeze into North Alabama Thursday morning. The
various weather models have been talking to each other and they seem
to agree that the front may possibly push into South Alabama by
Friday. That part is not sealed in stone, but we think that by Friday
the showers will be depressed to extreme South Alabama with less humid
weather over the north. In fact, we are lowering the high temperature
for Thursday and Friday to about 88.

FOURTH OF JULY: Another hot, humid day, but chances of you getting
wet in an afternoon storm is very small. By noon, the temperature will
be in the lower 90s topping out around 96 during the afternoon.

TROPICAL WEATHER: Lots of moisture feeding into coastal Texas and
South Louisiana from that minor disturbance that formed over the SW
Gulf of Mexico. Houston, for example, will get heavy rain at times
through tomorrow. There is a tropical wave spreading showers across
the Lesser Antilles. Upper winds are still not friendly for
development.

AT THE BEACH: Reasonably good weather for the 4th with about a 1 in
5 chance of a thunderstorm for Tuesday and Wednesday, but a better
chance by Thursday.

ELEVATION, ELEVATION: It certainly has a great effect on
temperature. A case in point is that the highest and lowest
temperatures in the lower 48 states in the last 24 hours both occurred
in California. It was 121 in Death Valley and 40 at Lake Tahoe. Did
you know that the highest elevation in the lower 48 states and the
lowest are only 95 air miles apart? Death Valley is 282 feet below sea
level and Mt. Whitney is 14,495 feet above. That is an elevation
change of 14,777 feet in a distance about Birmingham to Montgomery.

OZONE ALERT: A Code Orange was in effect again today for Jefferson
and Shelby Counties.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: This little paragraph is reserved for
not only Molly stories, but general opinions. Wanted to brag on my
church, Huffman Baptist, for a tremendous service Sunday morning. It
was a great patriotic service making me more thankful than ever to be
in the good old USA. I have often mentioned that there is only one
creature in the world that has more energy and enthusiasm than Little
Miss Molly. That person is Dennis Altizer, our music director. Thanks
to him, Pastor Tim Lovett and the whole staff for renewing my faith in
my country and the necessity to keep it free. Life goes on.....
