THE ALABAMA STORY: It is a story of temperatures very close to normal
for late July and no way to escape having a shower or thunderstorm
somewhere every day for the next 5 to 7 days. In fact, the chance of
rain for any one location is fairly good for the next several days.
This is due to that old frontal boundary that got down close to
Birmingham and is slowly moving back north, leaving in its wake a
moist air mass. The old boundary is somewhere near the Tennessee River
and hard to identify.

So far this afternoon, most of the scattered showers and thunderstorms
have been across the southern part of the state, mainly from
Livingston to Montgomery to Phenix City. Some widely scattered ones
could occur through this evening in other areas.

We are projecting high temperatures for the next 5 days to be
somewhere between 88 and 92. There is a vast amount of tropical
moisture spreading inland on the Texas coast and South Louisiana. Some
of that will curve around and reach this area.

TROPICAL WEATHER: A low pressure area was about 45 miles SW of
Brownsville, Texas centered over NE Mexico. It is generating a lot of
showers and thunderstorms over the Western Gulf and adjacent coastal
areas. Since the center is already over land, a tropical cyclone is
unlikely.

THE WORLD OF WEATHER: Elevation is the key factor in weather. David
Black interviewed a lady with a resort in Bullhead City, Arizona for
our Weather Brains broadcast this week. The high there yesterday was
120. She told us that you never get used to the heat. How would you
like to have a low of 100? That happened this morning in Death Valley
after a high yesterday of 126...not all of Arizona is hot. In the
White Mountains over on the east side of the state, the high at
Hannagan Meadow was only 76 yesterday with a low of 50 this morning.
That weather station is located at an elevation of 9,160 feet and it
is in an open meadow surrounded by spruce and ponderosa pines. Enjoyed
visiting there once...the lowest temperature in the country this
morning was 43 at West Yellowstone, Mont., and 40 at Barrow,
Alaska...down in Antarctica, it was 103 below zero. The winds are
expected to increase and send their wind chill to colder than 150
below...some of the better rainfall amounts in Alabama yesterday was
1.67 inches at Martin Dam and 2.46 inches in Childersburg.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Little Miss Molly is so packed with
explosive energy that when the doorbell rang this morning, my wife
fell in the floor trying to grab her. Lucky there were no broken
bones...that little rascal is so smart, that instead of piling all of
her balls together, she now places them at strategic locations where
she can grab one quickly and make me play ball. She even planted one
inside my office. One of our regular readers offered a suggestion on
how to keep dogs calm and collected during thunderstorms. She
suggested playing some music, particularly music that included drums.
She said the music soothes most dogs and they tend to associate the
booms (thunder) with music. She has a 10-year old dog that now rests
through fireworks and thunder. The music also seems to blend with
trucks, loud cars etc. Even when he can hear those scary sounds over
the music, it does not bother him as much as scary sounds in a quiet
house. Life goes on.
