SCATTERED STORMS EVERY DAY: Almost every July day has thunderstorms
somewhere in Alabama. The only variation is how many and where most
of them will occur. July is also one of our more humid times and
afternoons can be quite hot. We have been blessed this year with no
unbearable heat so far this summer. In 1952 at this time, the whole
state of Alabama was locked in a major drought—among the worst ever—
and a long string of temperatures 100 or hotter. For the rest of this
week and through the weekend, the forecast is almost automatic with
scattered showers and thunderstorms daily. Most of the time they will
crank up around midday, increase in number in the afternoon and
slowly fade away after sunset. If you were to pin us to the wall and
force us to talk, we might say the best chance will come on Sunday.
By that time, it is possible that a weak front will be pushing down
through Tennessee and approaching Alabama. Hot temperatures will be
consistent all the way through the weekend within a degree or so on
either side of 90.

Scattered thunderstorms developed around noon today and were
increasing this afternoon, although not very numerous. They were
again, slow-movers, so some communities were getting heavy amounts of
rain. Last night some slow-moving storms dumped around 2 inches of
rain in North Jefferson County and parts of Walker County.

TROPICAL WEATHER: We keep hearing people say that the 2007 hurricane
season forecast is a bust. Absolutely not true. It is way too early
to write it off. There are no threats of tropical storms, at least
for the next few days, in the Atlantic Basin, which also includes the
Caribbean Sea and our dear, dear friend, the Gulf of Mexico.

THE WORLD OF WEATHER: 117 was the hot spot in Death Valley
yesterday. Coolest this morning was Meacham, Oregon with 38. In
Florida, Jacksonville got 2.32 inches of rain. Alice, Texas got over
4 inches. In Montana, the high was 102 in Billings. Oklahoma City is
well on the way to having their wettest year on record. They have
already received 37.89 inches—a surplus of 16.68 inches. Their normal
annual rain amount is 35.85 inches, so they have already surpassed
that by around 2 inches. Just to cool you off, 20 inches of snow fell
at Walnut Grove in NE Alabama during the Blizzard of '93—the most in
Alabama. New York City has an 11-inch surplus in rain so far this year.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Exactly 18 seconds after Little Miss
Molly crawled out of bed this morning, she grabbed a ball and slung
it at me. It was clear that I was going to have to make up for lost
time yesterday, when she was away at the beauty shop all day. She
slept almost continuously when she got home, because she gets no naps
at the PBS due to the excitement. She sure does look funny. Her hair
is real short and she looks more like a swamp rat (the majority owner
will scold me for that). I still love her regardless. We asked the PD
(Puppy Doctor) to prescribe some Acepromazine for little Miss Molly
when it is stormy. A friend for lif,e in Hueytown, highly recommended
it. She says it works wonders with her little dogs. Maybe that will
keep Molly from spending the day under the bed. Life goes on......
