...Clearing Away The Smoke...

NO DROUGHT RELIEF FOR ALABAMA: We all had high hopes about Tropical
Storm Barry how nice it would be if he could move more northward
through the Gulf of Mexico and maybe come ashore near Mobile or
Pensacola. There was not a forecast of that by the National Hurricane
Center. It was only our wish. If that had happened, we could have
received a statewide drenching. It certainly would not have wiped out
our huge rain deficit, but it would have been a big short-term boost
to farmers and ranchers who are really suffering because of the
drought. In many sections of the state, the hay yields are only about
one-half normal and a lot of farmers have quit planting crops until
there is some soil moisture.

We do not see much change for the coming week. Indeed, the old
thermometer is going to cross the 90-degree mark on several days this
week with little or no chance of rain. Due to a disturbance that
stalled out over Mississippi last night, we think there will be a
slight chance of some showers and thunderstorms today. After that, we
have omitted any mention of showers or thunderstorms through at least
Friday.

TROPICAL WEATHER: What is left of Barry will continue moving up the
Atlantic Seaboard and wet down places like Washington, Baltimore,
Philadelphia, New York and Boston. Here we are only in the fourth day
of the new hurricane season and we are already awaiting the number
three name on the list. When that occurs, it will be Chantal. The
National Hurricane Center does not foresee any new tropical threat in
the Atlantic Basin for at least the next 48 hours. The Atlantic Basin
includes not only the Atlantic, but also the Caribbean and our dear
friend, the Gulf of Mexico.

THE WORLD OF WEATHER: Would you believe that Dallas got another 1.38
inches of rain Sunday? While Alabama has been suffering, cities like
Houston, Dallas, Oklahoma City and other places in the Plains have
received way too much rain and many areas have had significant flash
flood problems. Parts of South Texas now show a rain surplus of over
17 inches. By contrast, the Birmingham deficit will reach 16 inches by
late this week…110 was the hottest in the USA Sunday at Bullhead City,
Arizona.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Poor Little Miss Molly. The majority
owner turned over in bed before daybreak. Little Miss Molly was sound
asleep right up against her, but the poor little dog got dumped off
the bed and fell to the floor while still sound asleep. I wish you
could have seen the look on her face and her reaction. She simply sat
in the floor without moving with a puzzled glare on her face as if to
say, "Why did you do that?" Those little creatures are fragile and I
always worry about stepping on Molly's tow when we are playing a
vicious ballgame or out walking. Life goes on.
