...Some Changes Ahead...

THE ALABAMA SITUATION: It is a story where we will see some changes
in our weather over the next few days. Probably the better news in all
of this is that we will have a very quiet second weekend in a row. In
fact, looking ahead we see mostly sunshine for both Saturday and
Sunday. A pleasant 60 degrees when you get up Sunday morning. However,
high temperatures will vary from 88 to 90 across Central Alabama over
the weekend, but the humidity will be lower.

Meanwhile, let us back up a bit and discuss Thursday and Friday. Some
showers and thunderstorms this afternoon will probably persist through
the night. It looks like Thursday will by far be our stormiest time.
Showers and storms will probably be in progress early tomorrow morning
and become numerous at times as the day goes on and into Thursday
night. We are not looking for a severe weather event tomorrow,
although there is always a chance we will have a few warnings. Look at
yesterday, for example, when we had several Severe Thunderstorm
Warnings and a large number of Significant Weather Alerts, but we were
not even in a slight risk area from the Storm Prediction Center.

The showers should end early Friday followed by clearing and less
humid weather.
The reason for the increase in our showers and storms is a rather
large low-pressure area that will form over the North Gulf of Mexico
helped along by an upper-level trough of low pressure that will be
moving across the area Thursday and Thursday night.

AT THE BEACH: Highs in the low to mid 80s Thursday and Friday.
Showers and storms will be numerous Thursday, but only a few on
Friday. Saturday and Sunday should feature mostly sunshine and a
little less humid with highs around 88.

TROPICAL WEATHER: That non-tropical area of low pressure about 400
miles NNE of the Azores has gale-force winds at its center.
Thunderstorms remain limited. The low is expected to weaken as it
moves east over colder waters. Very little chance of it becoming a
tropical or sub-tropical cyclone.

GLOBAL ROAMING: President Obama was in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia today.
While he was there, the temperature was 106, but the dew point was
only 23 giving a very low humidity of 6%. Visibility was only 5 miles
in dust. In sharp contrast, it was 47 degrees at Reykjavik, Iceland
and the visibility was nearly 50 miles. Coldest I could find in North
America was in the upper teens at Alert in far North Canada. Down on
the other end of the world, it was 84 below zero at Vostok, Antarctica.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: I have had several e-mails lately asking
how we trained Little Miss Molly to ring a tiny bell on the backdoor
knob when she needs to go potty. Little Miss Molly actually trained
herself. When we got Molly, my wife was in Northern Utah visiting her
sister. They have a cute Shih-tsu named Megan. The majority owner was
so impressed that she wanted a puppy too. They went puppy shopping and
wound up with tiny Little Miss Molly. They had already trained Megan
to ring the little bell. In the couple of weeks that Molly was with
them before coming to Birmingham, she saw what was happening and in
just a couple of days started ringing the bell herself. The rest is
history. If we do not react quickly, she knocks the fool out of that
little bell with her paws. I jump to attention. Life goes on.
