MOST THUNDERSTORMS SHIFT SOUTHWARD: A stalled or nearly stalled
front was an escapee across North-Central Alabama this afternoon. It
would take a good detective to find the location. We think the front
is near Birmingham, but a lowering of the dew points has not
progressed as well as we like. Translation to all of this: because of
the drier air over the north part of the state, low temperatures will
drop into the mid to upper 60s overnight. Up in the valleys of NE
Alabama, we may have some lows around 64. That sure will feel good
considering the summer that we have had.

Most of the north half of Alabama should stay dry, at least through
Thursday, but there will be some thunderstorms mostly south of the
Birmingham area. Our latest array of weather models are arguing among
themselves. One of our main ones wants to increase the moisture fairly
quickly. For that reason, we go from widely separated storms on Friday
to scattered ones mostly in the afternoon on Saturday. Sunday probably
brings our best chance.

Scattered thunderstorms were in progress this afternoon over about
the south half of the state. So far they have not been as numerous and
strong as yesterday. During the last week, many sections of Alabama
have received encouraging amounts of rain.

IN THE TROPICS: Tropical Storm Debby was way far away in the Eastern
Atlantic some 500 miles west of the Cape Verde Islands. All
indications are that she will move toward the NW into the open Middle
Atlantic. Of more interest to the USA, is a system less than 400 miles
east of the Windward Islands moving west at 20. Could be a tropical
depression in the next day or so and a flight will be made tomorrow.
In about 5 or 6 days, this new one could be in the Central Caribbean
and our interest will rise accordingly.

OUR WEATHER WORLD: 103 in Dallas-Ft. Worth yesterday as their long
hot summer continues, but 121 in Death Valley was the hottest in the
USA yesterday…cold spots this morning included 30 at Stanley, Idaho
and West Yellowstone, Montana…there is an interesting spot down in the
north tip of Chile that has a normal rainfall of less 1/10 of an inch
a year. They once went 14 years in a row without getting a drop of
rain. The name of the city is Arica.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Would you believe I haven't had a
single playoff game with Little Miss Molly since night before last. I
can blame that on some good old fashioned thunder boomers which
probably sent numerous dogs to their hiding places yesterday afternoon
and last night. My little 9-pound pal spent at least 4 hours under the
bed. Due to my wife's injured wrist, she needed to sleep in the
recliner last night. Little Miss Molly slept on the foot rest with
her, but she sure seemed bumfuzzled about all the changes. The little
lady is a creature of habit if I have ever seen one. I like that and
life goes on.
