==================================================================

NOT AS HOT FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS: Thanks to another frontal
boundary, our thermometer should relax a little over the next few days
and not make us quite as uncomfortable. There is no real cool air
involved with this front, so our more reasonable temperatures will be
due mainly to more clouds and showers. The air behind that boundary is
drier, so we look for low temperatures by Thursday morning to be in
the upper 60s. See our day-by-day forecast and you will notice highs
mostly between 89 and 92 for the remainder of this week.

THE THUNDERSTORM SITUATION: Scattered ones were developing this
afternoon. The condition of the atmosphere is favorable for some of
those to produce strong winds and locally heavy rain. The lightning,
like recent days, will be ferocious. With all the trees completely in
leaf, it does not take a real strong wind to uproot a few trees or
break off some limbs. It will not be unusual for some of the stronger
storms for the remainder of this afternoon and this evening to produce
localized gusts to 50 mph.

THE TROPICS: That is a good looking tropical wave way out in the
Eastern Atlantic SE of the Cape Verde Islands. It is well organized
and a tropical depression could form in the next day or so. It was
moving WNW at 15. It is likely that it will move to the NW into the
open Atlantic and probably not bother the USA. Of course, that is not
sealed in stone.

OUR WORLD OF WEATHER: You could find almost any temperature you want
in the world today with highs between 115 and 120 in Iraq. Down near
the South Pole, it was 103 below zero at Vostok…we have noticed a
slight cool down in North and Central Canada during the last several
days. This morning it was 28 and snowing at Alert in extreme Northern
Canada…coldest temperatures in the USA this morning included 33 at
Stanley, Idaho and 28 at Anaktuvuk Pass, Alaska…Texas maintains their
long string of 100 plus heat. It was 104 Sunday in Paris and Wichita
Falls and 102 in Dallas-Ft. Worth…a few cities that got over an inch
of rain in the last 24 hours included Miami, Chattanooga, Atlanta and
Amarillo.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: I know I keep saying this, but I
believe the ballgame I had with Little Miss Molly last night was the
most vigorous fast-moving game ever. I did not think it would ever
end. It involved about 7 different balls and throwing them and kicking
them all over our large living area. I was pooped and had to take a
rest. Would you believe that Little Miss Molly still had not had
enough and she had another big game by herself real late last night.
When she finally got tired, she curled up on my ex-National Geographic
blanket and went to sleep. Then we put her to bed. Life goes on and I
sure am tired.
