BETTER CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS EARLY NEXT WEEK: There
were some big time rainfall amounts late yesterday and last evening,
including over 2 inches in downtown Birmingham at the 33/40 skycam
location. Up in NE Alabama, Crossville got 1.41 inches. As a whole,
the percentage of Alabama receiving rain was still rather small. The
atmosphere has changed today and we do not expect biggies like
yesterday. However, an isolated thunderstorm is possible later this
afternoon and this evening. Showers and storms will also be quite
scarce over the weekend. There will be a slight increase by Monday and
a better chance by Tuesday.

FOOTBALL WEATHER: Most places will be dry for tonight's high school
games. On Saturday, in college football, Auburn will be at Mississippi
State for an 11:30 a.m. kickoff, Vanderbilt will be at Tuscaloosa for
a 2:30 p.m. game and East Carolina will be at Legion Field to play UAB
at 6:00 p.m. For all three games, the risk of a shower or thunderstorm
is quite small. Temperatures will peak around 88 in Starkville and
Tuscaloosa. At Legion Field, it should be near 82 at kickoff and then
falling into the 70s.

THE TROPICAL WORLD: Tropical Storm Florence is having a tough time
growing into a hurricane. She was about 700 miles SSE of Bermuda at
midday with sustained winds barely at 50 mph. She was moving WNW at
17. She is still projected to reach hurricane strength by Saturday
night. She will be turning north in the open Atlantic passing very
close to Bermuda early Monday and finally east of Newfoundland by
Wednesday. The NHC says the intensity forecast with Florence is more
uncertain than usual.

THE WORLD OF WEATHER: Still getting some good rains in Florida…2
inches yesterday at Orlando and 2.50 at Tampa…in Miami, nearly 12
inches has fallen during the last week and they have reached 53 inches
for the year…low temperatures this morning 37 at Hallock, Minn., and
31 at Northway, Alaska…our 33/40 weather watcher, Rob Buell, at
Upland, Calif., 35 miles east of downtown Los Angeles, reports only
0.10 rainfall since July 1 and less than 13 inches for the year.

CHECKING IN ON MOBILE: What a difference a year makes. Mobile has
received only 27.55 inches of rain this year—a deficiency of 21
inches. Last year they had received 65.58 inches by this time—38
inches more than this year.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Little Miss Molly is getting more and
more accustomed to a late bedtime, mainly because we cannot seem to
get in bed until after 11:00 p.m. She does not want to fold up for the
night until we do, but last night she simply could not stay awake and
disappeared into my recliner. I feel sorry for her. I woke her up at
11:00 p.m. to go outside (translation: bathroom), but she was so
sleepy that I had to pick her up and take her out. She did her
business quickly and headed back toward the back door knowing that a
treat awaited her. Life goes on.
