INCREASING CHANCE FOR RAIN: Showers and thunderstorms developed
rather quickly across North Alabama this afternoon and it did not take
long for several Severe Thunderstorm Warnings to be posted. The storms
formed into several lines that were moving toward the east. This is
all part of the picture for an increased chance for showers and
thunderstorms in Alabama through the weekend. We may have our best
chance of all Saturday and we have lowered our high temperature to the
upper 80s. Even beyond Saturday, it looks like highs will back off a
few degrees to the 90-92 range. Still a pretty good chance of showers
and thunderstorms on Sunday. After that, they should become more
scattered Monday and Tuesday.

TROPICAL WEATHER: Widespread showers and thunderstorms were
occurring across the SE Bahamas and Eastern Cuba into the Central
Caribbean. Heavy rain and squalls will occur as all this glob moves
WNW 20-25. Upper level winds do not favor tropical cyclone formation
right away. Meanwhile, a west-moving tropical wave way out in the
Atlantic some 1,000 miles WSW of the Cape Verde Islands. Some slow
development is possible in the next day or so.

A DRY, DRY GULF COAST: The rainfall shortage is tremendous. In
Mobile, the deficiency for 2006 as of today was 21.17 inches. They
have only received 18.75 inches this year. By comparison, Birmingham
has received over twice that much at 38.72. A year ago at this time,
Mobile had been inundated with 50.99 inches. Pensacola is even in
worse shape with only 16.50 inches so far this yearâ??a deficiency of
almost 22 inches.

THE WORLD OF WEATHER: Seems like everyone is suffering from the heat.
In Britain, an all-time July high temperature of 98 was recorded a few
days ago at Wisley in Surrey. It broke a record that had stood since
1911. Power was cut to thousands in Central London...up to 9 inches of
rain fell yesterday near Cleveland. A fireman drowned as he tried to
perform a water rescue 40 miles SW of Cleveland...how about that LOW
of 102 yesterday morning in Death Valley.

WEEKEND AT THE BEACH: A good chance of showers and thunderstorms,
especially Sunday and Monday. The best chance may be on Sunday when
they could become numerous at times. Highs around 88.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: I sure am glad Little Miss Molly weighs
only 9 pounds. If she was a golden retriever or great Dane and had as
much energy pound for pound, I don't know what I would do. I could not
keep up with her. We were out walking very early this morning. I
planned to make it a very short walk, but Molly peeked up the walking
track and saw her friend Bridgette a 1/4 mile away. She would not let
me turn back. They gave each other a body over sniff test and rubbed
noses like all dogs like to do...last night Molly demanded to go
outside, but when I offered, she refused. Instead, she was demanding a
ballgame. It was the wildest game we ever had. I was kicking 6 balls
as fast as I could and Molly was going crazy trying to gather them all
up. Both our tongues were hanging out...that little girl's birthday
comes up next month and I will try to spend the whole day with her.
She deserves it. Life goes on.
