HUMIDITY AND MOISTURE DETERMINED TO COME BACK: I was out walking
with a certain little puppy at sunrise this morning and it sure did
feel good. The temperature was around 63 and the humidity was
noticeably lower. That is a sign of the season. It won't be too much
longer until that will almost be the norm.

But I must not jump too far ahead. The moisture and humidity will
make a rather quick return. Widely scattered thunderstorms this
afternoon will be mainly over the south third of the state, especially
over the extreme south. However, for the I-20/59 corridor northward,
we do not believe there will be any until later in the day tomorrow.
Look for some widely separated thunderstorms tomorrow afternoon. After
that there will be a slightly better chance on Saturday and more so on
Sunday and Monday. Again tonight low temperatures will fall into the
mid and upper 60s in the North Alabama valleys. We take a quick look
at some lows this morning: 61 in Cullman and DeSoto State Park, 62 in
Black Creek, Hamilton and SW Huntsville, 63 in Valley Head, Crossville
and Pinson, 64 in Decatur and Muscle Shoals, 65 in Jasper, Ashville,
Ellisville and Gaylesville, 66 in Vinemont, Albertville, Ft. Payne.

The dew point was in the mid 50s this afternoon across the Tennessee
Valley and the mid 60s as far south as Tuscaloosa, Birmingham and
Anniston. That is why the humidity felt better today.

ALL ABOUT THE TROPICS: We do not see any concern for the USA about
Tropical Storm Debby way out in the Atlantic. We are very interested
in a disturbance moving through the Windward Islands with gusts up to
40 mph already. Could become a tropical depression any moment and a
recon flight was to go in this afternoon. The future track of that
system should be westward through the Caribbean. There is also a
suspicious circulation over the Central Gulf, but no development so
far. A note from Bill Murray's daily feature, The Weather Notebook,
about Andrew making landfall near Homestead, Florida around daybreak
on this date in 1992. He was a Category 5. We all know the story of
what happened.

OUR WEATHER WORLD: An e-mail this afternoon from one of our
subscribers in Saranac Lake, New York tells of autumn foliage
beginning to show up in Upstate New York. Cheers. By 2 o'clock this
afternoon, the temperature had reached 102 in Dallas-Ft. Worth making
this the 17th consecutive day with temperatures 100 or hotter and 26
out of the last 27 days. It was 105 at Wichita Fallsā€¦a moderate risk
of severe weather this afternoon and evening over South Minnesota and
West Wisconsin. Severe thunderstorm watches were in effect from
Milwaukee and Bismarckā€¦coldest this morning 31 at Stanley, Idaho and
Wainwright, Alaska.
