PLEASANT NIGHTS BUT HOT AFTERNOONS: Temperatures reached 90 or
above in most areas in Alabama this afternoon, but the humidity was
quite low for June. In fact, it was the humidity was as low as 20% in
some areas along with north winds frequently 10 to 20 mph. This, of
course, made the hot temperatures much more bearable, but it also
continued to dry out the soil and the woodlands. The danger of forest
fires is high. We also had a Code Orange Ozone Alert today for the
Birmingham metropolitan area. It was pleasantly cool last night. We
list some selected low temperatures.

54 in Hanceville, Cullman and Ft. Payne
55 Odenville and Pinson
56 Moulton, Collinsville and Russell Cave
57 McCalla, Concord/Hueytown, Decatur
58 Huntsville, Muscle Shoals
60 Tuscaloosa
62 Birmingham, Montgomery, Troy

WEEKEND AT THE BEACH: High temperatures will be consistently in the
low 90s through Sunday. Dry weather Friday and Saturday, but some
scattered showers and thunderstorms starting later Sunday and Monday.
The sea surface temperature just off shore is about 83. The National
Hurricane Center is not looking for tropical development, at least
for the next 48 hours.

A HUMONGOUS HAILSTORM: The City of Marquette in the northern edge
of the upper peninsula of Michigan is famous for its big time winter
snows. Yesterday, they had a big time hailstorm to say the least. The
hail covered the ground to a depth of several inches and some of the
stones were as much as 3 inches in diameter. The hail shredded leaves
from the trees, damaged automobiles and trucks, and destroyed one
truck. The cost of roof repairs will probably be enormous. Over in
the NE U.S., New York State has really caught it the last two days
with massive flash flooding and high winds. As much as 8 inches of
rain fell in the Catskill Mountains. Major flash flooding at Roscoe,
New York. Several people were missing. Roads were washed out. Phoenix
will have 112 degrees today and tomorrow. Death Valley had 115
yesterday.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Little Miss Molly and I are really
good at taking inventory of all the little varmints we see on our
half-mile walking track. So far this year, we have not seen a single
snake, mosquito or any big spiders. We have seen two very young
earthworms. This morning we were surprised to see our first
bumblebee. It was very, very busy sniffing every little white blossom
on a plant in the hedgerow. I guess that is what you call cross-
pollination. We had heard that bees were scarce this year. I also
counted Little Miss Molly's stops and reverses this morning. There
were 36. That keeps me on my toes, but it lets the little girl have a
very joyful walk. Life goes on......
