..Hot and Mostly Dry...

THE ALABAMA STORY: It is a story about some cooler than average
temperatures over the north and central portions this morning. Credit
that to clear skies, light winds and lower dew points.

It is also a story of very little relief from heat and
humidity down south where the dew points did not change much. The
temperature by early this afternoon was already in the mid 90s at
Montgomery.

A few storms were developing across Central Alabama this
afternoon. Actually, they will be scarce for the remainder of this
afternoon and evening down south and there will be few if any over the
north half of the state.

Upper air soundings showed extremely dry air over our
area aloft today. Also, the winds aloft were tame as compared to most
days. The wind profile indicated that
any storms that formed will move toward the SSW rather slowly.

WHAT WE EXPECT: There should be a gradual heating up on
the old thermometer and we will get back in the mid 90s Friday and
Saturday with only an isolated shower or thunderstorm. We look for a
slight increase on Sunday and an even better chance of showers and
thunderstorms on Monday.

ANOTHER FRONT IN OUR FUTURE: Sure looks that way,
but we are getting in the time of year where fronts will be quite
scarce there are indications that a front (and actually supporting
some cooler temperatures) will reach Central Alabama on Monday and
come to a halt in South Alabama Tuesday and Wednesday. This will cause
the increase in showers and thunderstorms later Sunday and especially
on Monday. By the middle of next week, morning temperatures will be
around 66 and highs on Monday and Tuesday in the mid 80s.

OUR PLEASANT EARLY MORNING: Not only was the
humidity lower, but we had some pleasant early morning temperatures as
low as the upper 50s in some of the North Alabama valleys. A few other
lows: 61 in Fort Payne, 63 at Russell Cave, 64 at Decatur and Cullman,
Decatur and Pinson.

THE GREAT BIG APPLE: Well, we sometimes refer to
that as New York City. While much of the rest of the country has
fought heat and dryness, they have had
much rain and cooler temperatures. June, so far, has averaged over 4
degrees below average and the high for the entire month only 82. They
have had 16 days with measurable rain, including 8 in a row. Their
total for the month was 8.65 and excess of 5.60 inches.

GLOBAL ROAMING: The Tropics are quiet including
the entire Atlantic Basin and the Eastern Pacific. The SPC has a
Slight Risk of severe weather this afternoon and tonight from
Missouri, Illinois and Ohio into Pennsylvania and much of New York. It
was 104 in Houston yesterday. They need rain badly. Not a single drop
has fallen in June at Hobdy Airport. 117 in Death Valley yesterday and
36 this morning in Yellowstone National Park.

IGHTNING AWARENESS WEEK: It continues and with the
motto: When The Thunder Roars, Go Indoors. Once lightning enters the
building it can
travel through electrical and phone lines, plumbing, radio and TV
reception systems. Phone use is the main cause of indoor lightning
injuries.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Little Miss Molly is
at the PBS (the Puppy Beauty Shop) all day today getting a haircut.
She will come home late this afternoon with a little ribbon in her
hair smelling as nice as a young lady on the way to a high school
prom. Naturally, she started shaking as soon as we got in the car, but
brightened up when she saw her PBS. I am going to catch up on our
ballgames tonight and tomorrow, so much so, that she will think she is
in the doggie World Series. My tongue will probably hanging out also,
but it is lots of fun. Life goes on.
