================================================

MOSTLY DRY FOR THE FOURTH: You have heard us speak of the
wedge many times over. It is one of those things that can make or
break a forecast and today it pretty much destroyed our high
temperature forecast. The cooler air migrating in from the east
brought some low clouds. We did not expect it to penetrate this far
westward into Alabama. However, it is a nice break from the heat.
Temperatures should start heating up again tomorrow, although not
exceptionally hot. By Thursday, and on into the weekend, highs should
be in the low to mid 90s. We believe that showers and thunderstorms
will be fairly scarce Wednesday and Thursday, maybe increasing some
by Saturday. The further you go into SW Alabama, the better the chance.

LOOKING CLOSELY AT JULY 4: We think the chance of an afternoon or
evening thunderstorm, to spoil barbecue or fireworks, is extremely
small. Almost all areas will remain dry. We look for a high of 91. By
the time the evening fireworks kick off around 9:00 p.m., it should
be a relatively comfortable 78 degrees.

HOLIDAY AT THE BEACH: A much better chance of getting wet along the
Alabama/NW Florida coast than here in Central Alabama—about a 1 in 2
chance tomorrow. High temperatures will be 88 to 90. There will be
some showers and thunderstorms daily on through the weekend. The SST
(Sea Surface Temperature) just offshore is about 85.

TROPICAL WEATHER: Way out in the Central Atlantic, there is a low-
pressure area associated with a tropical wave. It may become a little
better organized. The NHC thinks it could possibly become a tropical
depression in the next day or so as it moves west 10 to 15.

THE WORLD OF WEATHER: Seems as if that upper air low-pressure area
has taken out homestead exemption over Texas. It is a continuing
story of far too much rain. Corpus Christi got over 9 inches of rain
in 24 hours Sunday and Monday. Ft. Worth got 2.42 inches yesterday.
At the Dallas-Ft. Worth Airport, 12.23 inches of rain has fallen in
the last 31 days and DFW has now built up a 14-inch surplus for the
year so far. Meanwhile, the Birmingham deficit was moving toward 18
inches. At Birmingham Airport, only 11.91 inches so far this year.
Last year we had received 34.50 inches by July 3. There was an 81-
degree range in temperature across California yesterday, from 38 at
Lake Tahoe to 119 in Death Valley. The relative humidity dropped as
low as 1% in the Utah/Arizona desert yesterday. That is almost
unbelievable.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: I have decided to rename our walking
track to the Miss Molly Autobahn. I never know what to expect. Today
it was full speed ahead, as fast as my little legs could go. All of a
sudden she stops on a dime to do some sniffing. She surely needs a
brake reline job by now. I try to let her be boss on the two half-
mile walks each day. I have had to put on brakes so quickly that my
shoe soles are getting thin. She will stop and sniff every little
part of a weed, taking one or two minutes, and then accelerate like a
rocket as if she is headed for Chattanooga. I am amazed that she can
run with her front feet like a horse, while her back feet are loping
like a kangaroo. I tried that, but I cannot do it. Oh, well, I learn
something every day from that little girl. Just being around her as
relaxing as taking a sedative. Life goes on.....
