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

THE ALABAMA STORY: Looks like no major changes for the rest of this week and all the way through the weekend. That translates to afternoon highs of 90 to 92 for the next couple of days, backing off just a bit to the upper 80s over the weekend. Tomorrow we expect few, if any, showers. The rest of the time there will be widely scattered ones, mostly in the afternoon, but no widespread drenching rain. Looking further down the road, there are indications that a front will reach this area about Tuesday, giving us a better chance of showers and thunderstorms and maybe a break in the heat. We will wait to be more specific, but early indications are our lows and highs will be in the more comfortable mid 60s and mid 80s after that happens.

TROPICAL WEATHER: Lots of attention in the Atlantic Basin, especially a disturbance about 400 miles WSW of Bermuda. There are chances some organization will lead to a tropical or sub-tropical cyclone moving east now, but it should work its way back to the west or SW. Two of our leading weather models hint that it will be off the coast of South Carolina or North Carolina late Saturday. Some of our other model stuff points to a possibility of over 6 inches of rain around Wilmington, North Carolina over the weekend and heavy rain northward along the mid-Atlantic coast. If this system develops into a tropical storm or even a hurricane, it will be named Gabrielle. Meanwhile, Felix is still dumping a lot of rain in the mountains of Central America. Hurricane Henriette was moving across the narrow Gulf of California to make another landfall in NW Mexico. The remnants could be near the SW tip of New Mexico by Thursday. This extra moisture could produce some flood problems in the SW!
USA.

USA WEATHER: A rare Tornado Warning this morning in SE Idaho. A Tornado Watch was in effect for parts of that area, including part of Utah. In the last 24 hours, 6.10 inches of rain at Cleburne in Johnson County, Texas and 5.66 inches at Lake Whitney, Texas. Low temperatures this morning 31 at Saranac Lake, New York and 117 in Death Valley. On this date in 1925, Alabama recorded its hottest temperature ever, 112 in Centreville. Birmingham had 106.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Even more people overnight in Molly?s home. When the little girl went to bed last night, she had very few daytime naps. The majority owner and I retired around midnight. We fixed Molly a nice bed in a chair by our bed. 12:33 a.m. Molly walked to end of the bed, became airborne like a rocket and kerplunk, landed right by me. I woke up and pushed her back to the foot of the bed. 12:40 a.m. Molly got up and dove headfirst between us trying to plow her way up by our pillows. 2:00 a.m. Majority owner could not sleep and stayed up until 4:00. 4:45 a.m. Minority owner opted for coffee. That seems to be a typical pattern at our house now. Life goes on, but it sure is interesting, but occasionally very tiresome.....
