...Excessive Heat...

Our current heat wave looks like it will intensify slightly as we head
into this new work week. High temperatures will consistently be in
the upper 90s, with a few 100s thrown in. Dewpoints will be in the
middle 70s a good deal of the time. This will push heat index values
to around the dangerous level of 110F. A temperature of 100F with a
dewpoint of 72F yields a 110F heat index. At 99F, a dewpoint of 73.5F
will do it. A dewpoint of 75F only requires a temperature of 97.5F to
do it.

Things become even more dangerous when nighttime lows don't drop below
75F. This means that things do not have a chance to cool off. When
we see afternoon heat indices of 110F coupled with overnight lows of
75F or greater, heat advisories will be issued. A slew of heat
advisories, excessive heat watches and excessive heat warnings are now
in effect from northeastern Oklahoma through Missouri into Illinois
and Ohio back down into Tennessee and Mississippi.

SOME HEAT SAFETY RULES: Limit your outdoor activities. Take it easy
if you must be outside. Take frequent breaks and drink plenty of
water. If you do not have air conditioning, take a break and head to
the mall or another air conditioned location. Be on the alert for the
signs of heat exhaustion.

ANY RELIEF IN SIGHT: With all of the heat and humidity today and
tomorrow, we will call for the development of these daily isolated,
short lived showers that sometimes grow up to become storms. Coverage
will be very limited, but if you do find yourself underneath one of
them, you will get some heavy rain and sharp lightning. The ridge may
build enough on Wednesday and Thursday to suppress most storm
development, but we will have to wait and see. The re-emergence of an
East Coast trough by Friday will hopefully bring increased shower and
storm chances, especially by the weekend.

ON THIS DATE IN 1993: Virginia experiences its worst tornado
outbreak ever as 18 tornadoes rip through the state in 5 hours. In
an average year, only six tornadoes are reported in the state and the
worst outbreak prior to this date produced just ten twisters. The
most devastating tornado caused severe damage in the historic part of
Petersburg, then moved on to Pocahontas Island and into Colonial
Heights. Here the storm ripped apart a WalMart store, killing three
people and injuring nearly 200. The F4 twister was the first known
violent tornado in Virginia history. It killed a total of 4 people
and injured 246 along its 12 mile path. Total damages were nearly $50
million. .

ON THIS DATE IN 2001: Tropical Storm Barry moved inland on the Gulf
Coast near Fort Walton Beach, Florida around midnight with top winds
of 60 mph. The storm caused $30 million in damage. Heavy rains
spread northwestward across Alabama. Up to 3 inches of rain fell in
the Birmingham area. One of the casualties of the storm was the
N'Sync concert at Legion Field. It was cancelled due to the rain.
Birmingham picked up a wind gust of 31 mph.

UNASHAMED!

Wouldn't it be awful to be ashamed of the most important things in our lives?

Many of us struggle when it comes to standing up for what we believe in.
Like our faith. There are times for all of us when we are tempted to be
ashamed of our faith. Or we downplay our faith so we won't offend someone.

Wouldn't it be great to live unashamed of our faith? Discover what it means
to live unashamed of the gospel and of Jesus Christ in a new sermon series
at Hunter Street Baptist Church in Hoover beginning Sunday, August 12.
Worship and Sunday School hours are 8:05, 9:30 and 10:45 a.m.
