COOLEST NIGHT TEMPERATURES IN QUITE A WHILE: We just got through
with a long hot summer. Weather people consider June, July and August
as summer. Now we are ready for some cooler temperatures. This
afternoon cooler air was slowly pushing southward . it caused some
scattered showers further down state. Over the north, however, clouds
were more extensive with just patchy light rain. All of that will be
ending tonight as the sky gradually clears overnight.

The next three days will feature mostly sunshine, although a few
showers could show up by Friday afternoon. You will feel a noticeable
drop in the humidity Wednesday and Thursday with highs in the mid 80s.
The most enjoyable temperatures will be at night. We expect around 59
here in Central Alabama with lows recovering to the mid 60s by the end
of the week. We may have some early morning lows as low as 54 or 55 in
some of the traditional cool spots.

THE TROPICAL WORLD: TD #6 became Tropical Storm Florence this morning
well to the east of the Leeward Islands. It was moving west and will
slowly grow stronger. Most of the evidence that we can assemble at
this time turns it northward into the open Atlantic with little chance
that it will bother the east coast of the USA. As always with tropical
systems, we cannot give you a money-back guarantee.

There was another disturbance east of Florence. It, too, could
develop more. Meanwhile, the old fragments of what was once Category 4
Hurricane John wet down a good part of the SW yesterday. Interstate 10
was closed for a time in El Paso. Mineral Wells in North Texas got
1.83 inches of rain, 1 inch fell in Dallas-Ft. Worth and the high
temperature was only 73.

OUR WEATHER WORLD: Did a little study of our summer this morning and
it was a long hot summer, although we did not have a headline-grabbing
killer heat wave when it goes above 100 for days on end. In
Tuscaloosa, the temperature was 90 or hotter on 85 of the 92 days of
summer. The high for the entire summer was 101 on several days in
August…El Paso has received more than twice as much rain as they had
last year at this time and the amount so far is more than double
normal…118 in Death Valley was the hottest spot Monday…lows this
morning included 30 in West Yellowstone, Mont., and 33 in good old
Deadhorse, Alaska….it was 112 degrees in Centreville on this date in
1925—the hottest ever in Alabama.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: It is always a delight to wake up with
Little Miss Molly. She woke me up this morning by jumping up on my bed
and cuddling next to me. She was as warm as a heater. There was a long
love session as I gave her a complete rub down, a belly rub and
scratched her head…you have to look closely to really enjoy all the
interesting things in nature…being a photographer for many years, I
learned as a kid to put an imaginary frame around everything I saw. On
our walk, we noticed two very young centipedes meeting in the middle
of the track. They paused for a moment like they were greeting each
other and then kept going in opposite directions. Had to do some quick
leash work to keep Little Miss Molly from using them as an early
morning snack. Life goes on among all the critters in the world.
