STORMS MORE SCARCE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS: It appears that the great
Alabama countryside had more of it getting wet Sunday than any one
day in a long time. Does that mean our major drought is over?
Absolutely not. It will take a whole series of days like Sunday to
really make a great dent in the drought. I still think and almost
guarantee that we will still be showing a rain deficiency when we say
Happy New Year again. A couple of tropical depressions could solve
that, but the mathematical chance of getting two of those this
hurricane season is small.

We actually had a Flash Flood Warning for DeKalb County Sunday
afternoon. As much as 4 inches of rain fell around Ft. Payne. Here
are a few other notable amounts:

2.64 inches at UAH in Huntsville
1.70 Holt Lock and Dam (east side of Tuscaloosa)
1.68 Ashville
2.51 Auburn

We watched on radar Sunday afternoon as a number of outflow
boundaries paraded across the area. Depending on where those slept
overnight could be the main focus of storms later this afternoon and
tonight. We think the better chance will be over Central and South
Alabama, but that is not sealed in concrete, steel or titanium. We do
believe, over the next several days, storms will be scarce. For
Independence Day, we are forecasting only isolated ones during the
afternoon and a high of 94. We should be in the 90s all week.

WEATHER FORECAST TERMS: Even when we are off duty, weather humans
occasionally prowl the world looking for interesting weather. In
doing so, I was reading the official NWS forecast for Deadhorse,
Alaska last week. It said "mostly sunny tonight." That was not a
typo, because they are still having 24 hours of sunlight. When I was
still in the Weather Service, when we had a clear sky and a full
moon, I sure was tempted to say, "Mostly mooney tonight or partly
mooney." I never did get up enough nerve. Enough of this. On to more
serious things. The Dallas/Ft. Worth area still expecting a lot of
showers and thunderstorms. Flash Flood Watch in effect. The forecast
for Gila Bend and Apache Junction, Arizona calling for highs of
115-120 for July 4. Joplin, Missouri received 17.12 inches of rain in
June.

DATELINE: COFFEEVILLE: Kansas, that is. There is a Coffeeville in
SW Alabama. Much of the Kansas city is under water. It is located in
SE Kansas and it is about the same size as our own Albertville. Even
the mayor's home was totally submerged. Making the tragedy more
serious is the 22,000 gallons of oil mixing with the water when the
local oil refinery flooded. That oily water is going downstream into
a large lake in NE Oklahoma.

MY TINY CORNER OF THEWORLD: Even though I weigh 27 times as much as
Little Miss Molly, her influence on me is much greater. The last two
days I have been very busy weather-wise with radio broadcasts and
helping with the Blog. When I finally walked out of my weather office
late last night, she came roaring out of the side room kicking one of
her balls across the living area while she was still holding another
one in her mouth. She blocked my path, looked up and me and smiled
with the ball still in hr mouth. No way I could escape. Huge ballgame
ensued. Life goes on.....
