A BREAK IN THE HUMIDITY: Sure has been July-ish across Alabama for
several days due to the increase in the number of showers and
thunderstorms. Have not heard a single complaint about all of the
showers and storms. Everyone is wearing a big smile on their face. We
have had good rain coverage for the last several days, including the
last 24 hours. We have a long list of rain measurements on the ABC
33/40 weather blog—way too numerous to list here.

I did want to mention one special rain report. It is from the Vigo
community east of Piedmont in NE Alabama. They received 1.05 inches
of rain in the last 24 hours. That is the first time in all of 2007
that they got over an inch of rain in one event.

Up in NW Alabama, Muscle Shoals has received over 6 inches of rain
just so far in July. Not far away, we want to mention this statistic
to snatch us back to reality that we are still in a major drought.
Figures released today by the National Weather Service in Huntsville
indicate that Huntsville still has a rainfall deficiency of 51.50
inches since January of 2005. That means in only two and one-half
years they have missed out on a full year's supply of rain.

A front was pushing toward Alabama this afternoon. It will transport
drier air into the state tonight and tomorrow. It appears the front
will push down into Central Alabama before stalling. Across North-
Central Alabama, including the Tuscaloosa-Birmingham-Anniston area
and northward, you will feel a distinct drop in the humidity
tomorrow. Nights will be about 5 degrees cooler and we have omitted
any mention of showers for tomorrow. Scattered showers and
thunderstorms will return later Friday and through the weekend.

BEACH WEATHER: The Alabama/NW Florida coast will not be completely
free of showers over the next several days, although they will thin
out considerably Thursday. High temperatures will range between 88
and 92. No threat of tropical development.

THE WORLD OF WEATHER: The Central Utah wildfire is beyond
imagination. It is, by far, the biggest fire in Utah history. It has
now burned 514 square miles. An interesting situation in the Pacific
NW yesterday. It was 102 in Portland, but the locals could look
upward to Mt. Hood east of Portland still covered with snow. The
severe heat has backed off in the desert. It was 103 in Phoenix and
106 in Las Vegas. Extremes in the last 24 hours, included 119 in
Death Valley and 37 this morning in Yellowstone National Park.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Another busy night last night and no
time to play with my little 9-pound boss. Somehow she senses that and
takes care of the situation herself. At 10:30 p.m., she embarked on a
wild ballgame. She had about 5 balls in the middle of the floor. She
would grab one and go at breakneck speed through the house, running
so fast that her tail was sticking out straight. She would bring that
ball back to the pile, grab another and repeat. She was even having
more fun than our own Bill Murray, who was holed up in a Holiday Inn
Express in the resort mountain town of Park City, Utah with plenty of
pizza and shrimp and watching the All-Star Game. Bill is the world's
number one baseball fan—possibly second to Molly. Life goes on and it
is clearly more enjoyable having my little pal as a member of my
family. I think she knows it......
