ANOTHER DRY DAY WEDNESDAY: It was another pleasantly cool night
across Alabama. Early morning lows were in the 50s most places, but
in the lower 60s from Montgomery southward. It will be several
degrees warmer tonight. However, across North and Central Alabama,
most lows will be in the upper 50s and lower 60s. Afternoons will
gradually get warmer with most highs in the mid to upper 80s.
Yesterday it was 89 in Pinson and Selma.

THE RAIN SITUATION: Still very dry across a big chunk of Alabama.
The latest report from the U. S. Drought Monitor puts 49% of Alabama
under the Exceptional drought classification—the worst there is. Most
of that is over the east and north. Extreme South Alabama is in
fairly good shape. The rain deficiency for Birmingham as of today is
18.26 inches. It is over 25 inches short at Anniston. Down in South
Alabama, Geneva is only about 6 inches below average. So, what are
our chances? We believe some widely scattered ones will show up
Thursday and possibly a better chance on Friday and Saturday.

TROPICAL WEATHER: The Gulf of Mexico looking more interesting. There
is a nervous weather area with the surface low about 100 miles WSW of
Key West. It has the potential of possible semi-tropical or tropical
development over the next day or so as it moves across the Central
Gulf of Mexico. The latest model runs place the center south of the
Louisiana coast by Thursday morning. Meanwhile, an updated hurricane
season forecast from the team at Colorado State University, Ft.
Collins. For the rest of the season (October and November), is
expected to produce 4 named storms. That is one less than the earlier
forecast. Two of those 4 are expected to be hurricanes and 1 a major
hurricane. So far this season, we have had 13 names storms, 4
hurricanes and 2 major hurricanes.

OUR WEATHER WORLD: A 6.6 earthquake occurred this morning with the
center 75 miles SW of Sand Point, Alaska. The NWS/West Coast/Alaska
Tsunami Warning Center indicated that no tsuanmi was expected along
the Alaska, British Columbia, Washington or California coast. More
signs of the season. Good old Deadhorse and Barrow, near the north
coast of Alaska, lost 11 more minutes of sunlight today. They are
headed to that long cold dark winter. Their average temperatures for
tomorrow is the high of 27 and a low of 19. Coldest in the USA this
morning, 21 at Ely, Nevada and Anaktuvuk Pass, Alaska. Over 3 inches
of rain in the last 24 hours at a number of locations in South
Florida, including 3.76 at Vero Beach and 3.85 at Palm Beach Gardens.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: I sure did enjoy watching Little Miss
Molly as she slept last night. I was wide awake for at least an hour
and about every 15 minutes, as if on cue, she would uncurl herself
from her tightly wound knot, sit up and stretch her neck as far
upward as possible, moan and groan and then plop back down in a tight
knot sound asleep. She can curl up in a knot so tight that she looks
like a small black Frisbee. She continues to semi-suffer from an
overdose of attention and playtime, but she never turns down a chance
to play. It is her world series. Life goes on......
