ENCOURAGING PROSPECT FOR RAIN: Looks like we may have our better
chance of getting wet for the next three days than we have seen in a
long time. There is a moisture-laden air mass parked over Alabama.
This will produce showers and thunderstorms every day for the rest of
the week. Even a fair amount of daytime heating from the sun will
cause some of those thunderstorms to become strong and dump locally
heavy amounts of rain. These storms will be slow movers. This will
allow them to dump more rain in some communities, but it will also
mean that the lightning will persist longer and there will be plenty
of that.

Thunderstorms were already in progress this afternoon. The more
numerous ones were over the extreme south, but scattered ones over NE
Alabama were moving very slowly. One of those dumped almost an inch
of rain at Anniston Airport by early afternoon. There is so much
moisture in the atmosphere that some of these storms could persist
past midnight. Probably Wednesday and Thursday will give us our best
chance of getting beneficial rain. The three-day total may be 1 to 2
inches in a number of communities. We believe the showers and
thunderstorms will be fewer in number by Saturday and possibly on
Friday also.

With more clouds and more showers, it will put a cramp on the
thermometer. Over the next two days we are calling for upper 80s here
in Central Alabama and maybe edging back upward to 90 or so over the
weekend. It is getting that time of year again. We will need to start
issuing football forecasts about Thursday.

TROPICAL WEATHER: That tropical wave over the Western Caribbean
moved inland over Central America squashing any chance of
development. Another tropical wave, midway between Africa and the
Lesser Antilles, was producing only disorganized showers and storms.
However, conditions are favorable for this one to develop.

RANDOM THOUGHTS: Tomorrow will have 2 minutes less sunlight than
today—just another sign that we are headed toward a season change.
Our normal temperature has dropped from 91 a couple of weeks ago to
89 now and our normal low from 71 to 68. It will not be too long
until we see some frost on the pumpkin, possibly as early as mid to
late October. That tornado Sunday night at Northwood, North Dakota
has been rated an EF4. There was 1 fatality and 70 injuries. Lowest
temperature in the USA this morning was 30 at Meacham, Oregon and
Deadhorse, Alaska. 114 was the hottest yesterday in Death Valley.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Little Miss Molly has been kept so busy
with two grandkids here that she almost begs for some naptime, but
she really is enjoying their company and I am getting some breaks
from the walking track. Miss Molly winds up in a tight circle when
she takes a nap. Looking down, she resembles a 45-rpm vinyl record.
You are too young to remember those. The least bit of noise can put
that little girl on full alert. She is never too sleepy or tired to
greet someone who happens to come by. We will celebrate her birthday
the rest of the week. Life goes on......
