SHOWERS AND STORMS STILL VERY SCARCE: We cannot rule them out each
day, but any shower or thunderstorm across Central Alabama through
the weekend should be few and far between. Translation, only about a
1 in 5 chance of your location getting wet. We have been conflicting
with some of our model guidance. Some of it keeps us bone dry through
Monday. We cannot accept that at face value, so we have introduced a
slight chance each day. High temperatures will be very close to the
90-degree mark into early next week.

We are looking at some possible changes in the weather next week.
There is the possibility of our best infusion of cooler air since
spring arriving at some point in the first or middle part of next
week. There is also some chance that the front will get tired and run
out of steam somewhere in Central Alabama. If that happens, do not
look for much relief. However, I believe that we can look for some
low temperatures in the low to mid 60s by the middle of next week and
some highs only in the lower 80s.

When that front gets closer (if it does), that will increase our
chance of showers and thunderstorms about Tuesday and Wednesday of
next week. That would be great news, because we are still classified
as an Exceptional drought area. In fact, the latest on the drought,
you could draw a line from Guin to Gordo to Centreville, Montgomery
and Troy and all areas north and NE of that are in the Exceptional
drought area—the worst designation there is. This despite some slight
improvements during the past week. So, this means Exceptional drought
continues for cities like Tuscaloosa, Birmingham, Gadsden, Anniston
and Montgomery.

TROPICAL WEATHER: We were pretty excited about a disturbed weather
area between the Bahamas and Bermuda. It has continued to become more
disorganized this morning. Upper-level winds are not friendly, but
that could change over the next couple of days. The low is nearly
stationary this morning, but it still has the potential to become a
tropical cyclone. Some of our latest models position it near Myrtle
Beach, South Carolina in a few days. Meanwhile, way over on the other
side of the country, what was once Hurricane Henriette is now only a
tropical depression and a lot of showers were spreading into New Mexico.

FOOTBALL WEATHER: For high school games tonight and Friday night,
only a small risk of an interruption by lightning. Temperatures for
the traditional 7:30 kickoffs will be in the low 80s. We will have
forecasts for the college games tomorrow.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Our little 9-month old great grandson,
Brandon, went home to Russellville yesterday, but he did something at
the last minute that completely astounded Little Miss Molly. He saw
Molly taking her paws and ringing the little backdoor miniature
cowbell, which Molly does when she needs to go. Brandon crawled on
his belly all the way across the room and knocked the stew out of
that bell. Molly backed off with utter amazement on her face. I would
have given $50 dollars for a video. Life goes on......
