...Soggy Weather...

THE ALABAMA STORY: It is a story about showers and thunderstorms that
will not completely let us alone on hardly any given day. We have to
look way down the road to Tuesday and Wednesday to find some mostly
sunny weather, less humid and cooler nights. In fact, early next week
we will have some low temperatures in the low 50s and highs in the low
to mid 70s.

Back to the present, we expect our best chance of showers and
thunderstorms to be Friday, Saturday and Sunday. This is especially
true on Sunday when storms will become numerous at times and a few of
those may become strong to severe. Over the next four days, we should
get over 2 inches of rain across Central Alabama—most of that coming
on Sunday.

A big cluster of showers and storms moved into West Alabama last
night. Showers were still in progress this morning. Some of those
became quite heavy over North/Central and NE Alabama. As much as 4
inches of rain was recorded in SW Morgan County. A Flash Flood Warning
was in effect for that area until about midday. This afternoon most of
the showers had shifted over to East Alabama. There were also some
storms around the Mobile area.

In North Bibb County, the town of West Blocton has received rain for
13 days in a row for a total of 3.14 inches as of this morning. A few
other rain amounts this morning in Alabama included 0.71 at Marion,
0.67 in SW Lamar County, 0.75 in Argo and 0.64 in Scrougout.
Quite a temperature contrast around the state this afternoon as cooler
air was wedging in from Georgia and warm air from the west. It was
only 61 degrees in Anniston this afternoon, but in the lower 80s over
parts of West Alabama.

SPOTLIGHT ON ALASKA In my wildest imagination, I cannot picture how
much we paid for Alaska when we bought it from Russia many, many years
ago. It averaged out to only 2 cents per acre. Alaska is by far our
biggest state and, if you could drive from the western tip of the
Aleutians to SE Alaska, it would be equal to driving from near San
Francisco to NE Florida. 29,000 square miles of Alaska is in glaciers.
Coldest in that state this morning was 6 at Barrow. Anchorage had a
mild 68 yesterday. Still 36 inches of snow on the ground at Whittier.
There is no sunrise or sunset in Barrow on the north coast now as they
have 24 hours of daylight.

MISCELLANEOUS: 109 in Death Valley was the hottest yesterday. Coldest
in the lower 48 this morning was 14 in Yellowstone National Park. It
is getting that time of year when our troops in Iraq will have
blistering heat. The forecast for Basrah is for high temperatures 100
to 105 through this weekend.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: I think Little Miss Molly is a very
smart little dog, but sometimes I wonder. Every time we go by the
house where Dino lives, his little nose is pressed against the lower
windowpane in the door and he gets all excited to see Molly. I will
tell Molly that Dino is her friend and she goes on full alert, but she
switches her head left and right to houses on either side of Dino and
never sees him. They both then cry. Life goes on.
