...Tired of Thunderstorms...

ALABAMA TO GET HOTTER: We have focused all of our weather eyes toward
the north today anxiously watching Tennessee, Missouri and Arkansas to
see if they are going to ship us a big bunch of naughty unwanted
thunderstorms. Fortunately, the weather pattern has changed a bit and
it favors a more eastward movement of the storms. A Severe
Thunderstorm Watch was issued today for Tennessee. They have had
several strong storms, but so far the more numerous activity has been
across Missouri and moving into Kentucky. This afternoon, some
scattered storms were beginning to develop over extreme North Alabama.
We are fairly optimistic that we will avoid another onslaught of
storms that migrate all
the way through the state like we have had for the last several days.

We will still have a chance of some thunderstorms in Central Alabama
tonight. They will be showing more of an eastward movement. We will
still have a chance of some tomorrow. We expect few, if any, after
that for the remainder of the week as our hottest weather of the year
sets in.

THERMOMETER WORKOUT: Starting tomorrow the old thermometer will start
visiting the 90s. We expect mid 90s all the way through Friday.
Thursday could be our hottest day across Central Alabama when we see
95 or 96 for a high. Some places over on the west side of the state
could be a degree or two hotter.

OUR WEEKEND STORMS: Surely there were thousands of trees uprooted
across Alabama as a series of derechoes plowed SE into the state.
There was also some flood problems with intense amounts of rain.
Typical rain amounts included nearly 2 inches in Homewood and Vestavia
Hills and over 2 inches in Hanceville.

A TORNADO-SAFE TOWN: An EF1 tornado touched down in Norman, Oklahoma
last night and stayed on the ground for 2 miles. Norman is the home of
the NWS Storm Prediction Center that handles the watches for the
entire USA. What is so unusual about this is the storm last night was
the first tornado in 19 years.

GLOBAL ROAMING: Tremendous rain this morning across Missouri,
including the St. Louis area. More than 4 inches of rain early today
at Jonesburg, Missouri put I-70 under several feet of water. Cars were
inundated and abandoned. Dallas/Ft. Worth had their share of major
flash flooding a few days ago, but down in South Texas, San Antonio
has only received 7.43 inches of rain all year which is exactly one-
half the average amount. 106 in Laredo was the hottest in the USA
Sunday. Lows this morning included 30 at Barrow, Alaska and 32 at
Truckee, California.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: There are so many tiny things of nature
that are interesting and, with my childlike imagination, they are even
more so. Yesterday morning, barely daylight, a brown bird came walking
up our front walk. I guess it was a brown thrasher. It had a worm
dangling from his mouth and stood staring in our front door window. My
guess is he wanted a biscuit so he could have a sausage and biscuit
for breakfast. Later in the day, I walked Little Miss Molly. It was
still raining lightly. As we passed a fence, she suddenly jerked me
off my feet and took off after a tiny baby rabbit. The little rabbit
was huddled by the fence trying to keep dry. The little guy took off
like a rocket down into a backyard. Miss Molly became airborne and
landed on his rear end, but I jerked her back. Will someone explain to
me why dogs know they are supposed to chase cats and rabbits and
instead play with fellow dogs? Life goes on.
