THE ALABAMA STORY: It is a story of getting some more thunderstorms
over the weekend with some locally beneficial rain amounts. Credit
this to two things—an influx of moisture from the Gulf of Mexico and
a front pushing down from the north. The great big mystery is the
front. It is the same old story when one tries to visit us in the
middle of summer. They struggle to get south of the Tennessee River.
Latest projections on this front is that it will reach extreme North
Alabama Monday morning and then stall in Central Alabama later
Tuesday and Wednesday. For that reason, we have re-introduced
scattered showers and thunderstorms for Monday and even a slight
chance on Tuesday. However, on Tuesday we think most of the showers
and storms will be south of Birmingham.

Trying to pin down the weekend more closely, the thunderstorms
tomorrow should be mostly in the afternoon and evening and scattered
in nature. We still think the more numerous thunderstorms will be
Sunday, especially during the afternoon. Typical summer temperatures
through all of this with highs from 88 to 92.

TROPICAL WEATHER: The NHC has issued its last advisory on Tropical
Depression Dalila. The remnant low, all that is left, was about 500
miles west of the south tip of Baja, California in the Pacific.
Closer to home, a week low-pressure area near the upper Texas coast
is showcasing a lot of showers and thunderstorms over the NW Gulf of
Mexico. It should move inland at some point over the weekend, so
significant development is not expected. But, believe me, a system
like this can still dump a lot of heavy rain and that is expected
over SE Texas and South Louisiana. All of South Texas is as wet as a
saturated sponge.

WEEKEND AT THE BEACH: Not the best of weather. There will be a good
chance of showers and thunderstorms over the weekend. In fact, they
could be scattered to occasionally numerous all the way through next
Tuesday. Because of more clouds and rain, high temperatures will stay
in the upper 80s.

THE WORLD OF WEATHER: Severe weather is a problem this afternoon
from Kentucky and Virginia northward through Maryland, Pennsylvania
and New York. Severe Thunderstorm Watches were in effect for most of
those areas. It is the monsoon season in the SW USA and some good
thunderstorms were in progress across Arizona again this afternoon.
Those can cause quick flash flooding in the dry washes of the West.
Thunderstorms were also moving on shore in SE Texas and South
Louisiana due to the nervous Gulf of Mexico. 48-state temperature
extremes included: 118 in Death Valley to a low of 44 this morning at
Lake Tahoe.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Do not know what I am going to do for
my little 9-pound pal on her 5th birthday, which comes up in late
August—maybe a spanking. Did we not used to give our kids a friendly
little spanking on their birthdays? Molly would not understand that.
The only spanking she's ever had was with a rolled up newspaper.
Until this day, when she sees me back roll the paper to take out the
curls, she looks a bit anxious. She shivered much of yesterday. Her
hair is cut so short, that she gets cold indoors. We wrapped her up
in her blanket and she was elated at that. She now has her favorite
blanket in my recliner. I may never get my recliner back, but I am
still happy and life goes on......
