LIKE A BROKEN RECORD: That is what the forecast sounds like as we
plod through the same old stuff day after day. The only real variety
to the weather this week is who will get a shower or thunderstorm and
who will not. The science of weather forecasting is not good enough to
pinpoint which communities will get a thunderstorm in the
afternoon—even on the morning forecast. We may see an isolated storm
this evening and widely scattered ones Wednesday. There may be a
slight increase in afternoon thunderstorms Thursday. Then, from Friday
through the weekend about a 1 in 3 chance of an afternoon thunderstorm
each day. The afternoon heat will be rather consistent with most
communities heating to around 94 degrees each afternoon with warm and
muggy conditions continuing at night.
Thunderstorms yesterday were not as prominent as they were on Saturday
and Sunday, but some folks got good amounts of rain, mainly on the
west side of the state and in the Mobile area. At Brookley Field just
south of downtown of Mobile, a storm dumped 1.72 inches.

THE WORLD OF WEATHER: We don't have it as bad as some other parts of
the country. In New York City tomorrow, the low is expected to be 82
with a high of 103 and with an afternoon heat index around 115. That
is a dangerous heat situation...hottest in the USA yesterday was 112
in Death Valley. They had been used to getting 120 to 126 for quite a
stretch...lowest this morning was 31 at Meacham, Oregon.

TROPICAL WEATHER: The tropical depression grew into Tropical Storm
Chris early today. Otherwise, no other strong indications of tropical
development. Chris was nearing the northernmost Leeward Islands this
afternoon. The center was located 65 miles ENE of Antigua. He was
moving WNW at 10 mph. Highest sustained winds were near 40 mph and he
may grow stronger in the next 24 hours. The official NHC track
forecast continues a NW path passing north of Puerto Rico and Cuba and
skirting the Southern Bahamas. Late in the weekend, there could be a
threat to South Florida, but that is not certain. The tropical models
are split on the path of Chris. At least three of the models agree
with the NHC forecast and one brings it into the SE Gulf of Mexico.
Four other models turn it more westward across the Dominican Republic
and Haiti which would tend to weaken it.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Because I was so far behind on other
work, Little Miss Molly has been greatly neglected in the last 24
hours. She is so accustomed to 5 or 6 ballgames each day that she has
a hurt look on her face when that doesn't happen. Last night when it
was bedtime, she ran away from my wife and hid behind me because she
was hoping I would have a late night ballgame with her. Sure hope to
catch up on that this afternoon and this evening. She has spent much
of today invisible in my recliner. It is the same color as she. Life
goes on.
