BETTER CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND STORMS FOR WEEKEND: Scattered showers
and thunderstorms were developing again this afternoon, maybe not as
many as yesterday. We believe that showers and thunderstorms will
thin out considerably on Friday with only a slight chance for any one
community. There should be an increase in the number of showers and
thunderstorms Saturday and Sunday. As has been the case recently,
some of those will dump heavy amounts of rain. As is the case in most
of our July thunderstorms, the vicious lightning is interesting to
look at, but only from indoors.

Again, our eyes turn northward where another relatively rare July
front will be trying to push into Alabama Sunday night or Monday. It
is almost a coin toss where it will come to a halt. Our best
projection is to stall somewhere near Montgomery by the middle of
next week. This means that our scattered showers and storms on Monday
could be mostly south of the Birmingham area. This could just about
eliminate showers and storms next Tuesday. That is way down the road,
so don't take it to the bank.
A lot of places got some very beneficial rain yesterday and last
night. There were even some flooding problems in places like
Talladega and Madison County. In Huntsville, 2.34 inches of rain fell
at Von Braun Center, including almost 2 inches in only 25 minutes.
A few other places that got over 2 inches of rain included Lay Dam,
Alexander City, and East Jefferson County on Rex Lake Road. A lot of
other places received well over 1 inch.

THE WORLD OF WEATHER: The SW Gulf of Mexico is nervous. There is a
large, but disorganized, area of showers and thunderstorms. Upper-
level winds are unfriendly for significant development and surface
pressures were not falling. The National Hurricane Center does not
expect any tropical development during the next few days. This does
not mean that the disturbed weather area will not cause problems. The
official forecast for Houston calls for heavy rain at times, all the
way through Friday night. A Flash Flood Watch is in effect for parts
of South Texas. San Antonio got an additional 2.21 inches of rain
Saturday. That region of the country is running out their ears with
rain. The highest and lowest temperatures in the lower 48 states in
the same state again—117 yesterday in Death Valley and 42 this
morning at Lake Tahoe, California.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: I believe Little Miss Molly is still
having a hangover from spending the day at the PBS (Puppy Beauty
Shop). She has been sleeping most of today. She has had two
delightful visits with her little Yorkie friend somewhere along the
walking track for two days in a row. That absolutely makes her day.
With her approaching age 5, I still have not written my long-planned
children's book. I am ashamed of myself. I must get with it. I may
take a week's vacation later in the year and work on it all week.
Still getting a lot of requests to write a book. I not only
appreciate that very much, but I am awestruck at the attention my
little pal has received from all 50 states and even some foreign
countries. Life goes on......
