..Subtle Changes...

HEAT TO BACK OFF A BIT: Mind you, it is not one of those big nice
cool fronts that will push in here and rescue us from temperatures way
too hot. When we have a ridge aloft that develops over us during the
summer, it tends to get hotter. There are now indications that the
ridge will be shifting toward the west. It is expected to be centered
over Arkansas and Oklahoma by midweek and even as far west as Dallas/
Ft. Worth Wednesday or Thursday. This will permit our high
temperatures to back off a bit. It will also open the door for some of
those thunderstorms around the so-called ring of fire to move more
southward. We will be watching for those almost every day for the rest
of the week.

At this time, we do not foresee a widespread drenching for Alabama. We
could see a few isolated storms later today over near the Georgia
border. We believe again tomorrow that any chance of a thunderstorm
will mainly be on the east side of the state. For Wednesday on through
Friday other section so Alabama could see a few thunderstorms, but
still not a widespread soaking.

The upper air pattern indicates that by Tuesday or Wednesday,
thunderstorms that formed in places like Illinois, Indiana and
Kentucky could move almost due south.
Still plenty hot this afternoon as temperatures climb well into the
90s and the heat index well over 100. We are calling for high
temperatures to back off to the lower 90s Thursday and Friday. Nights
will also be a bit cooler.

SUNDAY HEAT: Every corner of Alabama had highs in the 90s again
yesterday. The hotter temperatures were down south with 99 in Mobile,
98 in Montgomery and Geneva, 102 in Tallahassee, and 103 in Dothan. We
are not too sure about that Dothan temperature.

TROPICAL WEATHER: A bit of action today over the SW Gulf of Mexico as
a weak surface system developed. It should move slowly WNW. Additional
development should be slow. The NHC says only about a 1 in 3 chance of
it becoming a tropical cyclone during the next 48 hours. Over on the
other side of Mexico, the first named storm of the season in the
Eastern Pacific (Andres) was sporting 60 mph winds and may become a
hurricane Tuesday. He will be moving NW skirting the Mexican coast and
curving more west just south of the tip of Baja, California.

LIGHTNING AWARENESS: This is Lightning Awareness Week. The NWS motto
is: When The Thunder Roars, Go Indoors. Lightning can often bring
tragedy to animals and humans. Jeri Martin in Talladega owned horses
for 13 years. About 5 years ago, both of her horses seeking shelter
under a tree during a thunderstorm were struck and killed instantly.
Jeri says she still misses them terribly.

GLOBAL WARMING: It was 107 in Bullhead City, Arizona Sunday. That is
one of those small towns along the lower Colorado River that does not
being mentioned like that because it give them national publicity.
Lows this morning included 27 at Bryce Canyon, Utah and 30 at Barrow,
Alaska.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Our great grandkids from Russellville
are with us this week. Little Miss Molly loves them dearly, but she
spends much of her time staying out of the way and moving around. Last
night she was so tired when we took her to bed that she did not awaken
until 9:00. She sure did welcome Bill and Sally Murray Sunday when
they came by to deliver some sausage balls for me for Fathers Day.
Sally makes the best ones. I believe Little Miss Molly would have gone
home with them. She greets everyone like they are her lifetime
friends. Life goes on, although it can get very hectic at times,
especially for Molly.
