PLEASANTLY COOL TONIGHT: The temperature was in the 80s across much
of North Alabama. The old thermometer had reached 90 in Tuscaloosa
and Birmingham. However, the dew point was in the low to mid 50s with
north winds gusting to 20 mph at times. This is very bad news. It
means that the rain yesterday will dry out quickly, especially with
full sun and the lower humidity. We are getting back in to a dry
period and it looks like little or no chance of rain until late in
the weekend.

Meanwhile, it will be getting hotter with highs in the mid 90s
Friday through the weekend. Until then, we can enjoy a couple of cool
nights. We are going for 59 tonight as an average low across Central
Alabama. Undoubtedly we will hear a few reports of mid 50s from some
of the North Alabama traditional cool spots.

Based on Doppler radar and numerous actual rain reports, we believe
that 75% of the land area in Alabama received rain yesterday. The
only down side to that was that so many of the reports were less than
¼ inch. That soaked into the ground quickly and the brisk wind today
and low humidity caused a lot of evaporation. The rain totals
yesterday were way too numerous to mention here. A few of the heavier
amounts:

2.17 in Andalusia
1.21 in Crossville
1.34 in Centre
1.12 in Bessemer
1.20 in SW Trussville

THE STORY OF BLACK CREEK: Vick Bell is our 33/40 weather watcher
for Black Creek (NE of Gadsden). Rain had been avoiding that area for
months on end. Yesterday there was a big turnaround. The rain came
down in buckets for a time. They received 1.81 inches, including 1.50
inches in only 20 minutes.

THE WORLD OF WEATHER: The Tropics are still quiet. During the
night, powerful thunderstorms moved southward into Oklahoma and Texas
producing high winds, heavy rain and much, much lightning. Texas has
been plagued with flash flood problems for several weeks. Lots of
rain in the NE also with 1.46 inches in Syracuse, 2.02 at Rome, New
York and 1.30 at Saranac Lake, New York. Getting hot in the desert.
It was 116 yesterday in Death Valley and Phoenix is expecting 114
tomorrow.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Sure am glad Molly overslept this
morning. A baby squirrel came hopping up the walk to our front door
and was peeping in the window. I tippy-toed to talk to him and he
scampered. That is the same window that Molly looks out when she
first gets up and she would have been nose-to-nose with the squirrel.
Both of them may have died from cardiac arrest. Molly is becoming a
real night owl and when we mention beddy-bye, she now runs and hides—
first behind the sofa and when we follow her, she races toward the
master bedroom and hides. She is getting spoiled for midnight
ballgames. Life goes on......
