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

BETTER CHANCE OF RAIN BY MIDWEEK: We cannot totally rule out an
isolated shower or a thunderstorm over the weekend. In fact, a few
were in progress across the western part of the state this afternoon.
Temperatures are going to be heating up a bit reaching 90 or slightly
above over the weekend and early next week.

SOME CHANGES DOWN THE ROAD: We believe there will be an increase in
showers and thunderstorms later Tuesday and Tuesday night and lasting
into Wednesday and Thursday. This is due to the possibility of a
front reaching Alabama as early as Wednesday. It remains to be seen
if it will have enough muscle power to get through Central Alabama.
It may stall somewhere south of the Birmingham area by Friday. Bottom
line: our best chance of showers and thunderstorms, if this
transpires, would be on Wednesday. High temperatures may back off to
the mid 80s by the middle of next week.

TROPICAL WEATHER: Getting a bit more interesting due to a low-
pressure area between Bermuda and the SE coast of the USA. Winds
upstairs are becoming increasingly friendly for additional
development. It could become a tropical depression or even a tropical
storm later today. A flight into the system is scheduled for this
afternoon. The center of the disturbance is expected to move
generally west or NW during the next couple of days. It is a
situation where people living along the east coast should keep a
close watch, especially from the Carolinas northward. One of our
weather models also develops a low in the Gulf of Mexico that looks
interesting. The model moves it to a position SE of Brownsville,
Texas. Yes, we will watch that one too.

FOOTBALL WEATHER: For high school games tonight, it will be rather
warm and humid with temperatures between 82 and 85 for the
traditional 7:30 p.m. kick offs. We believe that the risk of a
lightning delay during this evening's games is very low. Alabama has
an 11:45 kick off Saturday in Nashville with Vanderbilt. Should be
near 86 at kick off, but rising to near 90 during the game. About a 1
in 4 chance of a thunderstorm in the vicinity of the stadium at some
point during the game. Auburn hosts South Florida Saturday night with
an 8:00 p.m. beginning. It should be near 80 at kick off with little
or no chance of rain. UAB plays Florida State in Tallahassee at 4:00
p.m. Mostly clear weather and a toasty 90 degrees at kick off.

HERE AND THERE: A real roller-coaster this summer in parts of the
NE. A case in point: it was 31 a few mornings ago at Saranac Lake,
New York. They had already reached 90 early this afternoon. It was 34
this morning at Lynn Lake, Manitoba—a distinct chill is beginning to
show up over the Far North. At International Falls, Minnesota, 35 is
expected Sunday night. A disturbing report that 26 children have died
in the USA this summer from being left in a closed automobile—either
forgotten or carelessness.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Our fireman son came by early this
morning for a visit and completed disrupted the entire household.
Grandkids were trying to sleep late and so was the majority owner. I
was up. He immediately let Miss Molly out and he and the dog woke
everyone up on purpose. It was funny, because Little Miss Molly was
dancing all over the grandkids trying to get them up. They are still
yawning. Life goes on.....
