Afternoon Edition For Sunday July 29, 2007
===================================================================
UNASHAMED!

Wouldn't it be awful to be ashamed of the most important things in our lives?

Many of us struggle when it comes to standing up for what we believe in.
Like our faith. There are times for all of us when we are tempted to be
ashamed of our faith. Or we downplay our faith so we won't offend someone.

Wouldn't it be great to live unashamed of our faith? Discover what it means
to live unashamed of the gospel and of Jesus Christ in a new sermon series
at Hunter Street Baptist Church in Hoover beginning Sunday, August 12.
Worship and Sunday School hours are 8:05, 9:30 and 10:45 a.m.

...Scattered Storms Today; Tomorrow..

Our weather in the short term will be influenced by a weak and diffuse
trough that will slowly sink southward across the area. Showers and
storms will be scattered across Central Alabama today. Tomorrow, they
should be limited to areas south of Birmingham. By Tuesday, they will
be relegated to South Alabama.
THIS AFTERNOON/TONIGHT: Plentiful sunshine south of the front, which
extended from Randolph County through Blount and onto Winston and
Franklin County at late morning allowed for rapid heating of the
atmosphere. Temperatures warmed quickly and cumulus clouds began to
form. Showers starting popping up across the area before the noon
hour. Additional showers and storms will fire with the intense
heating and the proximity of the front. The ones that do form will
feature very heavy rainfall and deadly lightning as well as some gusty
winds, so treat them with respect.
THE WEEK AHEAD: The front should drop far enough south overnight to
allow drier air to filter into North Alabama. Showers and storms on
Monday will likely be limited to areas south of Birmingham. This
drier air will continue to move into the area Monday night, pushing
the showers well into South Alabama. This should yield dry and
predominantly sunny conditions for us here in Central Alabama Starting
Tuesday and lasting through Friday. Enough moisture should return for
scattered showers again by Saturday, although I have a hunch it could
be a little earlier. Look for hot conditions for the week.
NATIONALLY: Not much happening nationally. Heat across the Dakotas
and Montana: a record high of 100F at Great Falls, Montana.
Otherwise, rain and storms from the East Coast across the Deep South
into Texas are the main weather stories this afternoon.
TROPICS: An area of disturbed weather east of the Bahamas has flared
with convective activity this morning. The system is moving to the
north northeast in the general direction of Bermuda. Upper level
winds are marginal for development, and while a tropical depression
could form, I don't think that a tropical storm is in the cards.
Elsewhere in the Atlantic, the Caribbean and the Gulf, things are
quiet.
ON THIS DATE IN 2002: A 2 year old boy picking vegetables with his
parents in Blount County when lightning struck him The family called
911 immediately, but put the child in an automobile and started for
the hospital. Paramedics caught up with the family and began CPR. An
Air Evac helicopter was called to transport the child to the hospital,
but the little boy was dead on arrival. The important thing to
remember is that many lightning victims simply stop breathing.
Administering CPR immediately will often resuscitate a lightning
victim.
