SEVERAL MORE DRY DAYS: Nice influx of cooler and drier air into
Alabama overnight. The high pressure area which brought it, will slide
off to our east and SE, but it will keep us dry into the first part of
next week. Finally, as southerly winds increase some widely scattered
showers or thunderstorms will come back into our weather picture about
Tuesday.

Saturday should be another day of mostly sunshine with relatively low
humidity and highs in the upper 80s. The temperature will gradually
heat up each afternoon starting Sunday and by the middle of next week
we could have some mid 90s. Look for another cool night tonight with
lows generally in the mid 60s. We just have to mention some of the low
temperatures this morning, which were extremely pleasant for July.

55 at Cullman Airport
58 in Jasper and Crossville
59 at Decatur, Meridianville, DeSoto State Park
60 at Huntsville and Gadsden Airport
61 at Pinson, Ft. Payne, Muscle Shoals
63 at Clanton and Centreville
64 in Concord/Hueytown
65 in Anniston, Tuscaloosa, Heflin, Alexander City
67 in Birmingham and Wedowee

TROPICAL WEATHER: A tropical wave was over the NW Caribbean and has
become a little more active since yesterday. Brisk trade winds were
blowing across the entire Caribbean with some gale-force winds off the
coast of Colombia. Surface pressures remain high and a tropical
cyclone is not expected to form from this.

OUR WORLD OF WEATHER: This is most unusual for July, but on July 7,
1981 Glacier National Park received 10 inches of snow with 90 mph
winds...lowest in the lower 48 this morning was 35 at Meacham, Oregon
and the hottest Thursday was 115 in (you guessed it) Death Valley...in
extreme North Alabama, there is a beautiful place called Walls of
Jericho. Hurricane Creek spills out of those walls and joins Estil
Fork and then it is known as the Paint Rock River. It flows southward
to join the Tennessee River near the community of Paint Rock...Mt.
Washington, New Hampshire gets an average of 247 inches of snow each
winter...Churchill, Manitoba bills itself as the Polar Bear Capitol of
the World. The temperature was in the 60s there this afternoon, so I
imagine the bears were quite comfortable.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: A delightful walk with my little
9-pound pal, Miss Molly, this morning. She is well rested after
getting two full night's sleep, so she forced me into a fast-paced
walk—there was no slowing down. I felt like I was driving a
stagecoach. Despite going as fast as my little legs could carry me
keeping up with her for a full 1/2 mile, there was not one drop of
sweat-speration when we got home, thanks to a nice NE breeze coming
down the U.S. 11 valley and a temperature of about 63. Tired to catch
up on some ballgames with Molly today. She had a quick love session
with James Spann when he came by to solve some of my computer
problems. I think Molly must have slept 18 out of the last 24 hours.
She has it made and the whole world loves her. Life goes on.
