ABC 33/40 E-FORECAST
Afternoon Edition For Tuesday August 7, 2007

====================================================
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.

THE EVIL OLD THERMOMETER: We might as well grin and bear it. We must
stand up and fight this heat and humidity for the rest of the week. A
bit of good news by the weekend. We expect high temperatures to back
off a few degrees. It will still be way to uncomfortable.

Look for high temperatures threatening to push the 100-degree mark
every day. For the next three days, we are listing 99 or 100 here in
Central Alabama. There will be some variation, a bit hotter in
Tuscaloosa and not quite so much so in Anniston. The old heat pump or
air conditioner will get very little rest, because overnight
temperatures are going to hang out in the mid 70s. On most nights, it
will still be in the mid 80s when the 10:00 news comes on. The next
question is the chance of rain. The long dreaded high-pressure ridge
aloft (translation: hot weather) is expected to be in place by
tomorrow. In fact, it may be centered near Birmingham. The next three
days will be our hottest. The chance of a cooling thunderstorm is
almost non-existent for Wednesday and Thursday.

TROPICAL WEATHER: The Gulf of Mexico is a lady in waiting. The sea
surface temperature is 86 over almost all of that big body of water.
A tropical system jumps up and down with joy with water that warm. It
is just like a little kid in a candy store or just like me in a Pop-
Tart factory. Despite the warm water, there is nothing going on at
the moment to even hint at development.

THE WORLD OF WEATHER: Not everybody is running their air conditioner
around the clock. In Sacramento, high temperatures over the weekend
were in the mid 70s. That was their coolest daytime highs since
records started way back in 1877. In Montgomery, the old thermometer
had already reached 101 this afternoon. One of our blog readers
reported a heat index of 111 in Dothan. In 1904, a railroad bridge
near Pueblo, Colorado collapsed after being weakened by a flash
flood. A passenger train fell into the water and 89 people were
killed. While we are crying for rain in Alabama, the National Weather
Service in Ft. Worth had to issue 531 Flash Flood Warnings so far
this year for North Texas. This is almost unheard of.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Little Miss Molly is experiencing a big
change. With 7 people now living here instead of 2, my little pal is
getting constant attention and not much naptime. She is a creature of
habit and loves to play at almost any hour of the day or night. She
also loves long naps during the daytime, but she is not getting
those. Last night when she finally folded up for the night, her eyes
looked weary and she was completely pooped. It is not that everybody
is keeping her awake. Instead, she is so nosy that she has to watch
anything that is going on whether it is her business or not. Life
goes on with less rest.....
