GOOD CHANCE OF STORMS AGAIN WEDNESDAY: We cannot deny that we are
still in a serious drought over the entire state, but the increasing
amount of rain recently has gotten everyone in a good mood and
wishing for more.

And more is coming. Around ½ inch or more fell in the Florence/
Decatur/Huntsville area already today. Based on radar, there were
indications of over 1 inch in the extreme NW. Most of the showers and
thunderstorms today have been over the north half of the state and
they were increasing again this afternoon over West Alabama and
moving generally eastward.

We will maintain a good chance of showers and thunderstorms again
Wednesday. Some of those will produce locally heavy rain. Another
front in the central part of the country is hinting that it would
like to come for a visit. It is possible it could reach extreme North
Alabama by Thursday morning and push a little further southward to
Central Alabama, then stall in the center part of the state on Saturday.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? We think showers and storms will be much fewer
in number Thursday, only to increase some again Friday and Saturday.
There is still a good chance that North and Central Alabama could
receive more than 2 inches of additional rain by the time the weekend
gets here.

Already topsoil moisture is improving across the state, as well as
pasture and rangeland. New grass is growing in most pastures and the
livestock is happy as can be.

THE WORLD OF WEATHER: The oven-like heat in the Desert Southwest has
baked off some. For example, it was 110 in Las Vegas yesterday and
will be about 106 this afternoon in Phoenix. The hottest was 121
Monday in Death Valley. Incidentally, today is the 94th anniversary
of the hottest ever recorded in the USA, which was also in Death
Valley—an unbearable 134. Coolest spot around the USA this morning
was 39 in Stanley, Idaho.

AT THE BEACH: For the next several days, highs should be 90 to 92.
There is a good chance of showers and thunderstorms tomorrow, only a
few on Thursday, but increasing again Friday and Saturday. The
Tropics are quiet.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: My apology for omitting the Little Miss
Molly story yesterday. I ran completely out of space. A number of our
readers let me know that and I appreciate their interest. Did not get
to spend much time with the little girl yesterday because of the
thunderstorms. That meant she spent much of the afternoon under the
bed. When we took our morning walk today, it felt like a sauna bath
instead of the Sahara. She loves to walk in wet grass and her legs
are so short that by the time she gets home, even her belly is
dripping wet. She comes in the back door and heads for the carpet in
the living area sliding round and round trying to dry herself off.
She is a riot to watch. Last night I had a long forehead-to-forehead
talk with her, complete with belly rubs. She looked me right in the
eye like she understood every word. I believe she did. Life goes on....
