...Tired of Thunderstorms...

GET READY TO GET HOT: Sometimes I wonder if thunderstorms have a mind
of their own. We did not expect that big blast of storms last night.
It appears that as they were moving across West Tennessee, they saw a
Welcome to Alabama sign and headed south.

Damage was widespread again last night as the severe storms pounded
numerous counties and even was still triggering Severe Thunderstorm
Warnings in the SE part of the state after midnight. No telling how
many trees were uprooted. It had to be in the 100s and maybe even
thousands. Large hail occurred in a number of North Alabama
communities and some folks got very heavy rain.

BETTER LUCK TONIGHT: We believe that the bow echo moving east across
Kentucky and Tennessee this afternoon will avoid us in Central
Alabama. While we cannot rule out some storms skirting across NE
Alabama, we believe Central Alabama will stay dry. When it gets this
hot, we cannot totally rule out an isolated storm.

THAT DREADED THREE-LETTER WORD—HOT: It will be our hottest of the
year so far over the next several days. The ground is wet over much of
the area, so that low-level humidity will make you very uncomfortable
the next couple of days. We are calling for high temperatures across
Central Alabama to be somewhere between 95 and 97 only to back off a
few degrees on Saturday. Somewhere in Alabama we may see our first 100-
degree high for the year. The heat index will probably exceed 100
Thursday. We think the chance of a thunderstorm will be very small
this evening and Wednesday and we left them out of the forecast
completely on Thursday and Friday.

IN FOCUS—CHICAGO: The Windy City is having an exceptionally cool
June. Their temperature has been above normal only one day this month
and that was by only 1 degree. On 8 of the 15 days so far, highs have
only been in the 60s. The mean temperature so far in June was 60.4 was
6 degrees below average.

GLOBAL ROAMING: 107 at Pecos, Texas was the hottest yesterday. One
day I will write a story about a miserable night in that town. Coldest
this morning in the lower 48 was 34 at Aspen, Colorado. A Severe
Thunderstorm Watch covers East Kentucky and Middle and East Tennessee
until 8:00 tonight. More than 3 inches of rain in the last 24 hours in
Bismarck and St. Louis. More than 2 inches of rain in Anniston last
night gives them a surplus for the year of 2.05. Hail accumulated to a
depth of 3 inches over North New Jersey yesterday. It looked like snow.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Little Miss Molly has an IQ somewhat
higher than mine and she is definitely becoming disgusted with so many
thunderstorms. I am afraid she is going to petition me to let her move
back to Salt Lake City where she was born. We do not see her much
during the stormy evenings like last night. I believe the lightning
was so severe that it would rank in the top five since I started
weather work in 1957. She spent much of last evening hiding in about
four different places. I thought I heard her give a sigh of relief
when I took her to bed at 2:00 a.m. Life goes on.
