TEMPERATURES BECOMING A LITTLE MORE FRIENDLY: A nice array of
thunderstorms developed across Alabama this afternoon. In fact, some
of them started forming well before noon. In the heat of the
afternoon, some of those thunderstorms became severe. There were a
number of Severe Thunderstorm Warnings issued within a 50-mile radius
of Birmingham. There were several damage reports in Cullman and
Talladega Counties. Trees were down at Fowler Springs on the south
side of Blountsville and there was wind damage to the roof at
Cleveland Elementary School in Cleveland, which is also in Blount
County. The Blount County EMA Office reported minor wind damage to
one of the Cleveland Fire Department's bay doors. The Fire Department
also reported rotation in the clouds. Trees and power lines were down
on a school bus at the Cleveland bus shop. It was probably not
occupied. Kids were also being held in the hall at the school.

Moisture has increased nicely across Alabama today and the atmosphere
has become more unstable. That is the reason for the increase in the
number of showers and thunderstorms. There were a number of
thunderstorms within a 50-mile radius of Birmingham mid-afternoon.
Down south, the thunderstorms were even more numerous over the
southern third of the state and those were working their way toward
the NW.

NOT AS HOT FOR THE NEAR FUTURE: Most of the 100-degree heat is out
of here for the time being. We are calling for high temperatures all
the way through the middle of next week to be in the mid 90s. In
fact, some of the model guidance suggests high temperatures by the
end of next week to be in the upper 80s or lower 90s.

AT THE BEACH: High temperatures close to 90 through the early part
of next week with scattered showers and thunderstorms each day. In
fact, there is a good chance of thunderstorms Sunday, Monday and
Tuesday.

THE WORLD OF WEATHER: Unbelievable problems in Chicago. Reports of
over 3,000 trees uprooted or partially uprooted across the city and
224 traffic lights knocked out. There was widespread flooding. A nice
cool 49 this morning at Layton, Utah and the mountains around
Breckinridge, Colorado were whitened with snow. Coldest in the USA
this morning was 29 at West Yellowstone, Montana.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Hope you had a chance to read my
extended salute about Little Miss Molly on the 33/40 Weather Blog
earlier today. Her fifth birthday is tomorrow and she has been with
us almost that long and has been a pure delight. I conservatively
estimate that she and I have walked 1,700 miles since we have had
her. If she had not let me turn around, we would have been all the
way to Los Angeles or up into SW Canada by now. I cannot tell she has
slowed down a bit since we have had her. Her ballgames have become
more frequent and more persistent. Our two grandkids, Alex and Mandy
Broome, have been excellent to keep Molly busy and to help me with
the walks. Life goes on.....
