MORE SHOWERS AND STORMS: A thick blanket of moist air envelops
Alabama and this will lead to a daily dose of showers and
thunderstorms. Some of those each day will give some communities
locally heavy rain. This does not mean that everybody will get rain
every day, but the coverage will be decent enough to offer more hope
for relief from the dry weather. Regardless of how much it rains
during the next week, it still will not be nearly enough to squelch
the drought. Topsoil moisture is one of the critical drought items
that would show benefit quicker if the rains continue.

In the last 24 hours, numerous communities have received rain. Many
of them got more rain overnight than they have received in several
months. In the SW part of Huntsville, as much as 3.40 inches of rain
fell in only 1 hour last evening setting off flash flooding. The
thunderstorms rumbled on most of the night and many areas in Shelby
County received well over 1 inch of rain. We have a long list of
those welcome rains on the ABC 33/40 Blog. Check it out.

FOOTBALL WEATHER: For high school games tonight and Friday night,
game time temperatures will be in the lower 80s with scattered
showers and thunderstorms still a threat. On Saturday, Alabama plays
Western Carolina at Tuscaloosa and Auburn hosts Kansas State at home.
Both games are night games. Temperatures will be 82 to 85 at kickoff
and we cannot rule out some scattered thunderstorms in the vicinity,
especially early in the game.

TROPICAL WEATHER: The vast oceans are getting a little busier. A
tropical wave 600 miles east of the Windward Islands has become a
little better organized. Upper-level winds should become friendlier
for development. Could be a tropical depression over the next day or
so. A small low has developed 350 miles east of Cape Hatteras. It is
stationary, but should start moving NE later today. It could briefly
develop into a tropical cyclone before being overtaken by a front in
a day or so. A tropical wave over the Bay of Campeche should move
inland over mainland Mexico later today.

THE WORLD OF WEATHER: 119 in Death Valley was the USA hot spot
Wednesday. Some chill spots this morning included 27 at the west
entrance to Yellowstone National Park and 29 in Eagle, Alaska.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: We are sorry to hear that one of our
daily readers, who has a small dog, had to go through the frightening
experience of last night's thunderstorms scaring the little dog so
bad that it had a seizure. They did not get much sleep. Little Miss
Molly was as busy as a bumblebee until after midnight. This whole
household was discombobulated, because I worked until 3:00 a.m. and
Miss Molly retired for the night 3 or 4 times before it became
permanent. She has the advantage, however, of sleeping at any time.
Life goes on.....
