INCREASING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS: In no way will it be enough
to break the drought or even to cause a huge dent in the drought, but
we have our best chance of getting rain tonight and Tuesday and maybe
into Tuesday night.
Already this afternoon, scattered showers and thunderstorms had
moved on shore and spreading northward from the Gulf of Mexico.
Others were developing to our west and moving east from Texas,
Arkansas, Louisiana and Mississippi. Overall, this should be our best
chance of getting some significant rain amounts in a long time.

Some parts of Central Alabama could get an inch of rain in the next
24 to 36 hours. A few localized amounts may be more than that. The
general average should be ½ to 1 inch. It is possible that Central
and South Alabama will get the most rain. We are optimistic that this
will be our most widespread coverage of rain in a long time. We have
had some localized heavy showers lately, but the coverage has been
spotty. By Wednesday, most showers should be limited to the southern
part of the state as drier air overspreads the northern counties. Dry
air cools and heats more effectively than moist air. This will give
us some more pleasant nighttime temperatures in the mid 60s, but
afternoons should heat back up to 90 or higher by Thursday and
Friday. Because of the thicker clouds and more numerous showers, we
look for a high tomorrow of only 82.

OUR WORLD OF WEATHER: I believe the flash flooding in Central and
North Texas is the worst it has been. There has been a lot of that
going on for weeks. Today at least two persons are dead from flash
flooding in the vicinity of Haltom City, a suburb of Ft. Worth. One
beautiful little 6-year-old girl was swept away from the arms of her
mother during the night and another person also drowned. There were
some reports of over 6 inches of rain. At Ft. Worth Alliance Airport,
there was 4.41 inches and 4.66 at Denton, Texas. It is strictly a
case of the haves and have nots. Numerous cities from Houston north
into Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri and other Midwest states are showing
big surpluses of rain this year, while North and Central Alabama
continues under the designation of Extreme Drought, which is the
worst category in the nation and the only one at present. Lowest
temperature this morning was 25 at Stanley, Idaho. Hot spot Sunday
was Death Valley with 114.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: After writing a story about Computer
Cat last week, I discovered there were a lot of cat fans who love
their cats as much as others love dogs. I knew that, of course, and
it was good to hear from them. Little Miss Molly had a nice visitor
Friday night. She is a cute little dog named Penny belonging to our
Rook friends, Glenn and Frances Slye. Wish you could have seen the
reaction from Molly. Molly loves Glenn and Frances, I believe more
than she loves the majority owner and myself. In reality, Miss Molly
loves anybody that will be receptive to her and she sure goes gung-ho
testing everyone that she sees. I still have to do a story about one
of our readers who owns two big labs. They were able to train them to
not be the least afraid of thunder and lightning. It was a unique
experiment. Life goes on.....
