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

THUNDERSTORMS TO BECOME SCARCE STARTING TOMORROW: It is about time
that we get a break from the heat and humidity. Thanks to two separate
frontal boundaries moving down from the NW, that should be the case
for the next several days. This afternoon scattered thunderstorms were
developing over Central and South Alabama. By tomorrow, however, they
should become scarce. On Friday, the risk should still be very small.
We think Saturday should be mostly sunshine and dry with pleasant
morning temperatures. Another frontal boundary early next week could
bring some low temperatures in the mid 60s for several days in a row.
Just think, September will be here Friday. For some reason, September
and especially October psychologically sounds cooler. I like October.
I wish my parents had named me James October Elliott instead of James
Benjamin.

Storms yesterday and last night dumped around 1 inch of rain on
Montgomery and Gadsden, over ½ inch at Carbon Hill and Decatur. It is
likely that parts of Hale County received over 2 inches, although we
do not have any specific reports.

TROPICS ON A RAMPAGE: Not Ernesto, mind you, but over on the Pacific
side. Powerful Hurricane John was moving NW getting close to the
Pacific coast of Mexico. He is a category 4. Way out in the Pacific,
Typhoon Ioke was a category 5 and Wake Island is directly in his path.
The typhoon is expected to cause major damage to the island and a huge
storm surge may inundate the entire island. It has been evacuated.
Meanwhile, back in the USA, Ernesto was downgraded to a tropical
depression this morning over South Florida. The track forecast still
calls for him to move off shore off the East-Central Florida coast and
move over open waters of the Atlantic to make another landfall on the
South Carolina coast later tomorrow. Rainfall amounts and winds have
been less than earlier expected since he left Cuba. The rugged
mountains in Eastern Cuba really discouraged him.

THIS WILL COOL YOU OFF: Even though spring is approaching down in
the Antarctic, it was 107 below zero today at Vostok. It is expected
to drop further to117 below with enough wind to produce a wind chill
of 152 below…it was 270 degrees hotter than that yesterday in Death
Valley with 120…lowest in the lower 48 this morning was 36 on the west
side of Yellowstone Park.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Miss Molly and I talk to each other.
She talks to me with her eyes, ears and tail and I talk to her with
belly rubs, head scratches and certain words. She took me around the
track in a hurry this morning. I guess all dogs are that way, but when
Molly is in a hurry, her front legs look like a rapidly-trotting
horse, which at the same time her back legs are in unison like a
kangaroo leaping across the Australian outback. I tried that, but it
does not work for me. Life goes on.
