..Not Quite As Hot...

THE ALABAMA STORY: It does not feel like it, but we had a weak front
pushing from NE toward the SW across Alabama this afternoon. You will
not really notice it except our dew point should drop some Wednesday
and will not feel quite so awfully humid. The heat may back off just a
bit over the next few days. Even so, the stubborn thermometer will
insist on reaching the low to mid 90s in the afternoon.

With this type of weather pattern, we are going to see at least a few
thunderstorms pop up every day, mainly during the afternoon. Those
storms will probably be moving from north to south. These often
produce a lot of lightning

The Storm Prediction Center does not have any part of Alabama under
even a slight risk of severe weather today or tomorrow. However, we
should explain that in the heat of the afternoon we can always have a
few thunderstorms that briefly become severe. The Storm Prediction
Center does not usually issue a slight risk for those type storms.

The temperature reached 100 in Mobile yesterday afternoon. By early
this afternoon, the temperature had reached 101 at the Jack Edwards
Airport in Gulf Shores right along the beach.

TUSCALOOSA: Today is the ninth day in a row that the Tuscaloosa
temperature has reached 93 or higher. In the last 23 days counting
today, 15 days have reached the 90s. In Montgomery, 17 days out of the
last 23 had 90s. There has been no measurable rain in Tuscaloosa for
the last 9 days.

SEVERE WEATHER: SPC has a Slight Risk this afternoon and tonight in
Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska and the Dakotas and also the western part of
the Florida Peninsula.
Tomorrow, only Nebraska and Iowa are included in the Slight Risk.

TROPICAL WEATHER: That weak low-pressure area persists over the SW
Gulf of Mexico, which should move slowly NW without significant
development. Over on the other side of Mexico, Tropical Storm Andres
was near the west coast of Mexico with winds almost hurricane force.
It will gradually curve more NW passing very near the south tip of
Baja, California before heading out to sea.

GLOBAL ROAMING: Houston has received no measurable rain this month.
They are very hot and dry. 24 degrees—a hard freeze—was the coldest in
the lower 48 this
morning at Stanley, Idaho. 94 was the high in Minneapolis yesterday as
the heat begins to spread further north. Oklahoma City was forecasting
100 for this afternoon and again tomorrow with similar numbers for
Dallas/Ft. Worth and Austin. Chicago should have 93 tomorrow, as the
Windy City finally heats up.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: This is unheard of, but my Little Miss
Molly slept over 10 hours last night. She was so tired and a bit
nervous trying to avoid all the noise and the little babies here this
week. I did not get a chance to have a ballgame with her for the last
two days. On my way to the kitchen this morning to get my fourth cup
of coffee, she gently kicked one of her balls in front of me, but I
did not have time to stop. Life goes on.
