THE ALABAMA STORY: It is the story of continued pleasant weather
through most of the coming week, although it will not be a model day
like we had Saturday and Sunday. The humidity will be gradually
increasing and so will the daytime temperatures. Nights will be
pleasant, but not as cool as this past weekend. The humidity will
also be going up and we will introduce a slight chance of showers or
a thunderstorm by late in the day Friday.

The main reason for that is some type of disturbance moving westward
across Florida and into the NE Gulf of Mexico. It could possibly be
tropical in nature. Two of our main weather models take this system
westward across the North or Central Gulf of Mexico and inland into
Coastal Texas next Saturday night or Sunday. However, we must also
mention the Canadian model, which brings some kind of tropical
situation into Alabama from the east on Saturday. It is too early to
choose sides. Naturally, we will keep an eagle eye looking toward the
SE.

The weekend sure was pleasant. The coolest temperatures as already
reported yesterday were in the mid 40s at a number of north and NE
Alabama locations. We also have an updated rain total from Thursday
and Friday concerning Humberto. That is 5.55 inches at Inverness in
North Shelby County. That was the most reported, but it was followed
closely by 5.00 at Mountain Brook.

TROPICAL WEATHER: What is left of Ingrid was well to the east of
Puerto Rico this afternoon and it is only the remnants of a tropical
depression. Clouds and showers over the Central Caribbean have
diminished and conditions are not favorable for development. A
tropical wave over the far Eastern Atlantic could slowly develop.

THREE-DOT STUFF: Huntsville still 52.59 inches deficient on rain
since January 1, 2005…that means they have lost an entire year's
supply…107, Laughlin, Nevada, Sunday's hottest…27, Saranac Lake, NY
coldest this morning…25 atop Mt. Washington, N.H., but that location
not included in USA temperature extremes…29 in Sterling, Alaska…will
not be long until the Canada geese begin their long V-formation
flights southward. It is a beautiful sight.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: I have mentioned this ad nauseum, but I
simply could not do without a certain little 9-pound creature
composed of flesh, bones and hair in what must undoubtedly be the
fastest feet of any dog I know. She even reminds me of an African
cheetah loping across the wide expanse of grass near the Old Crow
Motel. Such a pleasant walk late yesterday in the cool of the
afternoon. We paused a long time near the Old Crow Motel—our favorite
resting spot. I could just visualize a flock of Canada geese flying
over in their famous V-formation. That is where Molly saw our first
flock five years ago at a time the Old Crow Motel was back lighted by
the rising sun. It would have strictly been a Thomas Kinkade
painting, if he had only been here. Life goes on and we love life.......
