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

MAY BE OUR LAST 100-DEGREE HEAT FOR A WHILE: Not absolutely certain
about tomorrow. The temperature may fool us and hit 100 again, but we
are sticking to our forecast high of 98.

Some subtle changes in the weather have started today, mostly from
the east and SE. Moisture has been circulating inland from the
Atlantic. By this afternoon, several showers had formed over NE
Alabama. Visible satellite showed some an increase in clouds from the
SE. However, the old thermometer had already exceeded 100 over a good
part of North and West Alabama.
How about Dothan? That SE Alabama city benefited from some showers
that moved into the area from SW Georgia and North Florida. The city
was drenched with 2.66 inches of rain this morning, including over 2
inches between 7 and 8 a.m. Even at midday, temperatures were only in
the 70s at Dothan, while much of the rest of the state was sweltering.

For the rest of the week and into early next week, we think we might
escape any more 100-degree heat. Our persistent heat ridge is giving
way, at least temporarily. We are projecting highs in the mid 90s
from Saturday through at least the middle of next week. In fact, on
some days especially toward midweek, the high may barely get above
90. That will feel almost like autumn. There will also be a chance of
a shower or thunderstorm on those days.

WEEKEND AT THE BEACH: High temperatures will be around 88 along the
immediate beach area and low 90s inland. There will be scattered
showers and thunderstorms each day, including a good chance late in
the weekend and through early next week.

THE WORLD OF WEATHER: A real tragedy in the Midwest. Extensive major
flooding in at least 5 or 6 states, with a number of fatalities from
the flooding. Several people have also been killed by lightning. A
typical rain amount in the last 24 hours was 3.67 inches at Sioux
City, Iowa. Coldest temperature this morning was 32 in Stanley, Idaho
and West Yellowstone, Montana.

TROPICAL WEATHER: Hurricane Dean died a pauper's death in the
mountains of Central Mexico. The once powerful Category 5 pretty much
dissipated late last night over the higher mountains in Central
Mexico. There are several tropical waves out in the great big
Atlantic today, but none of them seriously threaten to become a
storm. One in the Bahamas, did have a small hint of circulation.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: I plan to post a special tribute to
Little Miss Molly on the 33/40 blog tomorrow morning, since it is
time for her birthday celebration. I am going to even post one of my
favorite pictures of her. I still have not changed over to digital
photography, so my last good pictures of Molly were taken by Chuck
Biddinger. However, yesterday, one of my grandkids got a good shot of
her with their cell phone camera. I am even going to make that my
computer wallpaper. So, I will sit here at my desk concerned about
the weather while looking at Little Miss Molly. I will even talk to
the picture. With the extra people in our home, she has come in my
office more often wanting to get up on my desk and just talk to me.
We have great conversations, I am just glad you cannot hear them.
Life goes on—busier than ever.....
