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

BEST CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND STORMS MONDAY AND TUESDAY: The old
humidity is going to go back up and will make us uncomfortable in the
last part of summer. With high temperatures in the lower 90s over the
weekend, there will be an increase in showers and thunderstorms. We
think they will be rather scarce Saturday with a slightly better
chance of Sunday. Our best chance will be Monday and Tuesday,
especially on Tuesday. During the Monday to Wednesday timeframe, some
communities may receive over an inch of rain. This is because another
frontal boundary is expected to approach us later Tuesday and possibly
slide into Central Alabama by Wednesday morning.

OUR TROPICAL WORLD: Surprised to see a report today that Max
Mayfield, who heads the National Hurricane Center in Miami, will be
retiring next January. Never met him, but I was sure in admiration of
his work. Bill Murray has met him several times and he was a guest on
one of our Weather Brains pod-cast. Back to the business at hand, we
are not concerned about Tropical Storm Debby. She has grown even
weaker over the open waters of the Eastern Atlantic. However, TD #5,
now 340 miles south of San Juan, Puerto Rico, could become Tropical
Storm Ernesto any minute. The official NHC track forecast increases
him to hurricane strength and brings him westward through the
Caribbean to just south of the west tip of Cuba Tuesday morning and
into the SE Gulf of Mexico Wednesday morning.

As usual, we caution that 5 days out could have a lot of error. The
rather wide array of hurricane models tend to generally bring it in
about the same direction. I was checking some sea surface temperatures
at midday and found only 82.6 degrees in the Eastern Caribbean, 83.5
in the western part and a much more compatible 86 degrees in the NW
Caribbean and the Bay of Campeche. For sure, next week is going to be
a time of anxious waiting for the millions of people living on the
Gulf Coast.

THE WORLD OF WEATHER: 7 million acres of woodlands already consumed
by fire in the Western USA so far this year all the way from Arizona
to Washington and Idaho…10-year average is 4 million acres…104 in
Dallas-Ft. Worth again yesterday, 109 in Wichita Falls and 118 in
Death Valley…4-inch hail at New Prague, Minn., yesterday (that is
grapefruit size!)..a number of tornadoes also with at least one
fatality…snow showers expected late tonight in the interior of
Yellowstone National Park.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: My little stick-tight pal, sometimes
known as Little Miss Molly, is celebrating her fourth birthday today
and she is living the life of Miss Riley. Posted a longer story about
her on the BLOG…she and I have walked a minimum of 1,400 miles since
we have owned her and I give her credit for knocking off 25 of my
pounds…she is so cuddly and warm that when you pick her up and hug her
neck, it is like hugging a small heating pad…in dog years, she is 18
years old. She has just got to live as long as Moses to keep me young.
Life goes on. ....
