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

IN SEARCH OF COOL AIR: It is not to be found anywhere around here, in
fact not even for hundreds of miles. The nearest temperature I could
find as cool as the 50s this afternoon was in Yellowstone National
Park. I believe Yogi Bear used to call it Jellystone National Park.
As of yesterday, Tuscaloosa gas experienced 68 days in a row with
highs 90 or above!

NOW, ABOUT ERNESTO: He was till being partially deranged this
afternoon over Eastern Cuba. He is expected to gain strength again
after emerging off the north coast of Cuba as he heads toward South
Florida. The NHC track forecast brings him ashore on the SE coast of
Florida, then up through the eastern part of the state and just off
shore of Georgia and South Carolina. Why will a track like this affect
Alabama? It means we will get no adverse weather from Ernesto. Indeed,
the broad circulation around him will help invite another frontal
boundary to push down into Central Alabama Wednesday and early
Thursday. We are counting on that to give us some low temperatures in
the upper 60s toward the end of the week and highs from Wednesday into
the weekend in the upper 80s.

Meanwhile, we will have scattered showers and thunderstorms that
should increase in number Tuesday and maybe into Wednesday as the
frontal boundary gets closer to our area. By Thursday and Friday, the
showers and storms should thin out greatly and you might even notice a
slight drop in humidity.

THE WORLD OF WEATHER: I just know people in Dallas and Ft. Worth are
out dancing in the streets today. Their long string of 100-degree plus
heat has been broken. The high at the DFW Airport Sunday was only 96.
At Fr. Worth Alliance Airport, 1.43 inches of rain in the last 24
hours…they are also dancing in Wichita Falls, which is always hotter
than Dallas. They are expecting highs in the upper 80s for the next
several days with lows by Thursday in the mid 60s…some of the more
pleasant low temperatures this morning included 27 in Barrow, Alaska,
28 in Gould, Colorado, and 31 in Leadville, Colorado…hottest yesterday
was 116 in Death Valley…here in Alabama, 1.03 inches of rain late
Sunday in Inverness, 0.84 in Clanton and 0.72 in Huntsville.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Since Molly's birthday, I have tried to
have more ballgames with her as part of her continuing birthday
celebration. Our family has always celebrated birth weeks instead of
birthdays, because I worked round-the-clock shifts so many years in
the NWS and we often could not celebrate on the exact day…only thing
we gave Molly for her birthday was two boxes of treats—the kind she
seems to like better. She is happy as a lark. I wish you could have
seen her this morning strutting by the Old Crow Motel with not a care
in the world. Just so she gets her walks, her naps, her ballgames and
treats she is happy. Life goes on....
