NOT MUCH RAIN FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS: We always want to start off
with a sampling of low temperatures when it was pleasantly cool like
this morning. We will list only a few.

45 in Black Creek
46 in Crossville, Russellville, Valley Head, DeSoto State Park
47 at Collinsville, Russell Cave National Monument, Rainbow City
48 in Pinson and Heflin
50 in Anniston, Huntsville, Alabaster (Navajo Pines)
51 in Livingston, Tuscaloosa, Scottsboro Airport
53 in Birmingham

Lows tonight will be very similar and we could easily see some mid 40s
in the North Alabama valleys. The old thermometer should peak around
80 Wednesday. There should be some showers on Thursday, but not a
major rain event by any means. It is because of another cold front
moving through. Sunny, breezy and cooler weather again by Friday.

TROPICAL WEATHER: A broad area of low pressure 900 miles ENE of the
Northern Leeward Islands is now better organized. During the next day
or two, however, it will have a better chance of some development.
Interesting on this date in 1955, Hurricane Janet underwent explosive
intensification in the Caribbean south of Cuba from a Category 1 to a
4 in only 24 hours. A bit of history during that storm—the only
hurricane hunter aircraft ever lost was in Janet.

THE WORLD OF WEATHER: Way, way back in 1815, there was a huge
volcano eruption on the island of Sumbawa in Indonesia. The volcano
was named Tamboro. Volcanic ash circulating around the world led the
way to some famous weather lore. The next year, 1816, became the year
without a summer. Severe frost occurred in June from Canada to
Virginia and a number of other major frosts in the late summer. In the
history book of Madison County, New York, it tells of frost in every
single month of the year in 1816…the lowest temperature in the USA
this morning was 17 at Doyleville, Colorado and 20 in Eagle, Alaska.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: I like the way Melissa said it this
morning as she jogged with Alex, her other dog, she said, "Isn't it
amazing how animals can carve out a little spot in our hearts. She was
referring to Munchkin who is still missing somewhere in the eastern or
southern part of Birmingham. Numerous people are looking. It was pure
delight to get out with Little Miss Molly very early this morning. I
actually counted the 66 times she changed directions, backtracked or
left the track to inspect something. If you could map our track, it
would look like a jigsaw puzzle. I felt like a yo-yo when I got home.
She was very assertive and would not even think of coming home unless
we went the distance. She is the boss....
