...Anxious Week Ahead...
Because of powerful and devastating hurricane Katrina a year ago, the anxiety level will be very high this coming week all around the Gulf coast from Texas to Florida. It is all due to the new kid on the block, Ernesto. The National Hurricane Center projects a path toward the NW passing near Jamaica Sunday and then becoming a hurricane over the NW Caribbean. The projected path is across the very west tip of Cuba and into the Gulf of Mexico later Tuesday. By Wednesday afternoon, he could be over the Central Gulf of Mexico.
Hurricane models, while departing somewhat with each other, show generally the same direction. We must caution that a 5-day forecast on a hurricanes location can be far off the mark, but that is the way it stands now. We must also mention that Ernesto could become a major hurricane in the Gulf. Some of the models turn it northward toward the Mississippi-Alabama coast. Others take it toward Louisiana or Texas. The real answer to all of this is that no one knows. It is a matter of watch and wait.
Meanwhile, moisture will be increasing across Alabama with some scattered thunderstorms showing up this afternoon, especially over the south. Sunday and Monday will also have scattered storms. They should increase in number on Tuesday as another frontal boundary pushes into the state from the NW. That front may go south of here on Wednesday. On the old thermometer, highs will hang around the 90 to 92 mark. We do not see any more 100-degree stuff.
THE WORLD OF WEATHER: The Southern Plains continued to bake Friday. It has been a terrible summer. Highs yesterday included 108 at Wichita Falls and Wink, Texas, 103 at Dallas-Ft. Worth,105 in Oklahoma City, 107 in Stillwater, Okla., and 106 in Winfield, Kansas we saw a report the other day where some lakes in the Dakotas had gone completely dry from evaporation and strong south winds were actually whipping up blowing dust from the lake bottoms wildfires in the West continue to be a major problem the Alabama Forestry Commission is dispatching some Alabama firefighters to out-of-control blazes around Redmond, Oregon the hottest in the country Friday afternoon was 118 in Death Valley some snow showers were expected late last night and early this morning in the higher elevations of Yellowstone National Park. That is just a hint of the changing season that we are about ready to see we had a report earlier this week of trees beginning to turn in Upstate New York have no idea how autumn foliage will be in Alabama this fall with the erratic rainfall patterns we have gone through all summer.
MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Little Miss Molly really had a nice fourth birthday yesterday. We sure do appreciate all the birthday wishes. She got a lot of loving yesterday as well as plenty of playtime. I hope she will be around many more years to keep
me young and active. I burn a lot of energy just because of her but life goes on.
