...Heat Backs Off...

COOLER NIGHTS: Yesterday about this time, it was around 100 degrees
in Huntsville. This afternoon it was only around 87 and the humidity
is much lower this afternoon. In fact, the dew point in parts of the
Tennessee Valley was as low as 46 this afternoon. So what does all
this mean?

It means you will be more comfortable for the next two or three days
even though the stubborn thermometer will cross the 90-degree mark
every day. You will really notice it at night. We look for low
temperatures to drop into the lower 60s tonight over much of North and
Central Alabama. Indeed, there could be some upper 50s in the cooler
valleys of NE Alabama.

We can credit this improved weather to a cool front that pushed into
the state overnight. That front was slowing down over South Alabama
this afternoon. It will eventually head back north.

Whereas we had lots of showers and thunderstorms Sunday and even a
severe thunderstorm watch, most of the state is without thunderstorms
this afternoon. In fact, they
were limited mostly to North Florida and along the Mississippi coast.

DRYNESS CREEPING IN: We are certainly not in a drought again, but we
have heard a lot of people say lately that they need rain. Some
communities in Alabama received some very beneficial amounts yesterday
along with some scattered wind damage. Just a few of the heavier
amounts:

1.56 Guntersville Dam
2.99 Union Grove (Marshall County)
0.62 Anniston Airport

TROPICAL AND BEACH WEATHER: The Tropics are quiet, although there are
a few tropical waves in the Atlantic. There almost always are this
time of year. Along the Alabama/NW Florida coast there will be some
scattered thunderstorms Tuesday, but few in number on Wednesday and
Thursday. High temperatures will be around 92.

CRESCENT CITY: When I go in search of cool temperatures, one of the
first places I think of is Crescent City on the extreme NW California
coast. We have been getting hourly weather from there for many years.
They had temperatures in the 50s this afternoon and will have 40s at
night. They almost always have a cool refreshing breeze off the
Pacific Ocean. It is in an area where rhododendron bushes grow to 12
feet. Roaming the rest of the globe, 121 in Death Valley Sunday. 34
this morning in Yellowstone National Park. 27 this morning at Barrow,
Alaska. Expected to be 92 below zero at Vostok, Antarctica.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Every time Little Miss Molly goes to the
beauty shop, where she does not get to take naps, she comes home happy
as can be, but also tired. She often sleeps longer for the next 2 or 3
days. Last night was no exception. She slept until 10:00 this morning.
She goes through the same ritual every morning when she finally wakes
up. She will yawn and stretch for 3 or 4 minutes and pull herself
across the king-size bed on her belly wanting me to give her a
rubdown. As soon as that is over, she propels off the bed like a
rocket and often ready to play ball. Life goes on.
