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

SCATTERED STORMS FRIDAY AND SATURDAY: They should be scarce on
Friday with only a slight chance of a shower or thunderstorm in any
one spot. Probably our better chance to get some rain in Alabama will
be Saturday with scattered showers and thunderstorms. However, it
does not appear to be a widespread soaking and some folks will remain
high and dry.

By Sunday, a front pushing down from the north will move into
extreme North Alabama and then push down to near the Gulf Coast by
Monday. This is not good news. That means most of the showers and
storms will be cut off for the northern part of the state on Sunday
and for most of the state on Monday. The next decent chance of rain
will be about the middle of next week.

ANDREA: She will have virtually no effect on Alabama weather. There
is a chance that the immediate coastal strip of East Florida could
get some rain. It is critically needed in that state. Over 200
wildfires were in progress around Florida today. Andrea was
downgraded to a subtropical depression this morning with sustained
winds down to 35 mph. The center was 100 miles ESE of Jacksonville or
about 80 miles NE of Daytona and drifting south. The remnants should
stay off shore, at least through tonight.

THE SEVERE WEATHER SITUATION: Much of the storm-ravaged Central
Plains were getting a break today from any significant risk of any
severe thunderstorms or tornadoes. A Severe Thunderstorm Watch was
posted for North Pennsylvania and through much of New York State.
Amazingly, this included Saranac Lake in Upstate New York where it
was a very cold 20 degrees just a few mornings ago.

THE WORLD OF WEATHER: Oklahoma City has received 18.35 inches of
rain so far in 2007. That is more than double the Birmingham total.
The normal rainfall for Oklahoma City is considerably less than
Birmingham. Flood issues remain very serious in places like Oklahoma,
Missouri and Iowa from recent heavy rains. The governor of Oklahoma
declared an emergency for all 77 counties. In the last 24 hours,
2.69 inches of rain at Wichita Falls, Texas. This is the season for a
lot of tornadoes in places like Oklahoma and Kansas. On this date in
1905, a violent tornado at Snyder, Oklahoma was so powerful that the
roar could be heard 12 miles away as it cut a 40-mile long path.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: I love a saying by Mark Twain and
often repeated by President Truman. It goes, "Always do right. It
will please some people and astonish the rest." So, I promise to do
right by Little Miss Molly. I am keeping my promise to never spank
her again. Today I want to mention a special heartbreaking item from
Charlotte Barton. She is a faithful reader from the Tuscaloosa area.
I met her a couple of years ago at the small Havana Methodist Church
in Hale County where I used to attend as a kid. About a week ago,
Charlotte lost her precious dog Little Benji. He had a kidney disease
that they knew about for 3 years and just had to watch him decline in
health. Charlotte said she had Benji for 10 years and 4 months. Even
though he has been gone nearly a week, she still misses him dearly.
Our condolences. I simply do not know how I would handle that with
little Miss Molly. Life goes on and sometimes we have to face the
sorrow mixed with the good.....
