================================================

THE ALABAMA STORY: Even though this is summer, there are times when
a cool front is brave enough to try to cross into our territory.
Sometimes they make it, but more often not. They give up and sit down
somewhere north of Central Alabama. It is questionable how far south
the current front will get. We are going to make an assumption that
it will do good to reach the Birmingham area. It might even stall in
the Tennessee Valley. For heaven's sake, you ask, what does all that
mean? It means an improved chance of getting some showers and
thunderstorms over the next two or three days. We will also be
watching for some extra moisture spreading into the area from the
Wetlands of Louisiana and Texas. There are indications that the upper-
level low, that had parked over Texas, may move NE somewhat and pull
in some moisture with it. One weather prog has it centered over North
Arkansas late in the weekend.

We do not expect many showers and thunderstorms for the rest of today
and tonight. Some scattered ones were forming, mainly over the west
and SW. Parts of SW Alabama have received some good rain amounts the
last two days, including over 3 inches at Mobile. Brookley Field,
near downtown Mobile, was drenched with 2.70 yesterday alone.

The chance of getting wet looks better starting later tomorrow and
extending through the weekend. During the next 4 to 5 days, some
parts of North Alabama could get as much as 2 inches of rain. Across
Central Alabama, it would be more like 1.50.

AT THE BEACH: For the remainder of the holiday week, high
temperatures will be 90 to 92. There will be some afternoon showers
and thunderstorms each day, but none of the days will be an all-day
rain.

TROPICAL WEATHER: The suspicious area way out in the Atlantic does
not look as promising now. It is getting into an area more unfriendly
for tropical development. We will keep an eye on it, but only one eye.

THE WORLD OF WEATHER: Corpus Christi an amazing 3.31 inches of rain
in the last 24 hours bringing their total for the first four days of
July to an amazing 14 inches. Houston got over an inch yesterday. In
Tulsa, there was 2.61 inches—another area that needs no rain. Are we
looking at some record heat in the Desert Southwest? Reno could break
their all-time record today. It was 126 in Death Valley yesterday and
it should be hotter today. They hold the all-time record for the USA
of 134. That could possibly be in jeopardy. Even Flagstaff, in the
North Arizona high country, had a record 96 yesterday. Cool spot this
morning was Stanley, Idaho with 42.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Little Miss Molly at sacked out at
11:00 last night stretched out across the foot of the bed and already
sound asleep. Kaboom! Three times someone set off some fireworks
across the hedgerow from our house. That little girl stood straight
up, dove off the bed, ran into the other bedroom and scooted under
the bed. That is her favorite hiding place, when thunderstorms,
fireworks or vacuum cleaners are anywhere nearby. I vacuumed the
entire house yesterday, so she spent quite a bit of time under there.
Tried to console her, but live goes on.....
