AFTER SATURDAY, BACK TO DRY WEATHER: Even Saturday is not going to
give widespread coverage of showers and thunderstorms. Some are
already developing this afternoon, mainly over East Alabama. The
winds aloft are extremely light. For example, at the 10,000-foot
level over Birmingham, winds were less than 10 mph. This means that
any thunderstorms that form will be slow movers. Rain from those will
be concentrated in smaller areas, but if you are lucky enough to be
in one of those smaller areas, you could get a good soaking.

On Saturday, high temperatures will back off a bit due to more
clouds and some scattered showers and thunderstorms. Do not look for
a general drenching by any means. A lot of places will stay high and
dry. Meanwhile, we are watching a drier and slightly cooler air mass
that will be pushing down from the north and NE. The front should
enter North Alabama early Sunday and push southward. This will cut
off any showers over at least the north half of the state. Dry
weather is also expected on Monday and Tuesday as high temperatures
back off to the lower 80s. An outside chance of a shower Tuesday
night, but it looks like our next best chance of showers and
thunderstorms will be next Wednesday.

Slow-moving thunderstorms yesterday brought some good amounts of
rain to parts of North Alabama. A few of the heavier amounts included
1.69 inches at Madison, 0.75 at Russellville, 0.92 at Capshaw in
Limestone County and 0.89 in Huntsville (UAH).

THE WORLD OF WEATHER: The wildfire situation is horrible,
especially in Florida where fires were out of control in about two-
thirds of their counties. A vicious fire also on Catalina Island off
shore from Los Angeles. Residents had to be evacuated by boat. Big
fires also in NE Minnesota. Flooding in Houston yesterday. Hobby
Airport 2.51 inches of rain. For the first time in a long time, no
part of the USA under a slight risk of severe weather today. There
could still be a few isolated severe. For Saturday, a slight risk for
Montana and Northern Idaho. Coldest in the lower 48 this morning was
27 at Stanley, Idaho.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Policy change with Little Miss Molly.
Instead of two marathon ballgames a day, I am going to try about 10
very short games basically each time I pass through the living area
going for coffee. She will love that. I sure do enjoy getting e-mails
from our readers telling about their dogs. Kathy Gardner has 4 dogs.
One of them a 4-pound little girl, Tippy, who is 14 years old and
still kicking. One day Scuffles was missing. Each day for three days,
when going to the mailbox, Kathy would think she could hear him
crying. It broke her heart. Finally one day, she heard the noise so
loud she turned and looked toward a neighbors house and Scuffles was
looking out the window at her. He had accidentally been locked in her
house when they left for vacation. He was hungry, thirsty and lonely.
She was thankful that her neighbor had a garage door that would not
lock and she was able to get him out. Life goes on. Our little
creatures are ever so interesting....
