...The Haves and Have Nots...

THE ALABAMA STORY: It is a story where a lot of people in Alabama
that wanted rain badly got it in the last 24 hours while many other
communities were left high and dry. I would estimate that at least two-
thirds of the land area in the state received rain Sunday and Sunday
night.

The weather so far today has been one of little or no rain over the
north third of Alabama, mostly from Birmingham north, while the
central and south part of the state continued to get a number of
showers and thunderstorms. For the past few days, there has been a
long parade of showers and thunderstorms from East Texas and Louisiana
east across Alabama. However, today the whole system was bounced a
little southward and most of the heavier rain was over South
Mississippi, South Alabama and NW Florida.

Something else different today as compared to Sunday—most of Alabama
was under a slight risk for severe weather Sunday. Today only the
coastal area was designated with a slight risk.

Why the change? Another weak front, one in a series lately, struggled
to get down into Central Alabama today. Like all the others it will
come to a stop across the middle part
of the state and hang out there for a couple of days. It will then try
to work its way back northward about Thursday and Friday.
On the old backyard thermometer, this will mean that we may not reach
the 90-degree mark again Tuesday, but then slowly get back into the
lower 90s for the last half of the week.

RAIN AMOUNTS: We have a long list of rain amounts on the 33/40 BLOG,
so we will only mention about five of the heaviest amounts here:

3.16 Blountsville
2.30 Good Hope (Cullman County)
2.21 Hartselle
1.63 Walnut Grove
2.35 Hanceville

Many other areas received ½ to 1 inch.

TROPICAL AND BEACH WEATHER: With that weak front not making it to the
coast, there is going to be a good chance of showers and thunderstorms
along the Alabama/NW Florida coast each day through Friday. High
temperatures mostly in the upper 80s. The sea surface temperature is
about the same as the regular temperature. The Tropics are quiet. No
sign of a depression developing. There are several tropical waves
scattered across the Caribbean and Atlantic—nothing unusual about that.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: It is always sad to hear about someone
losing their pet after so many years of companionship. One of these
days we will have to give up Molly. I hope we can keep her healthy at
least 10 more years. I asked permission to tell about losses
occasionally, because I believe it makes all of us want to hug our
pets and enjoy them more. Today was a sad day for the John Seagle
family in Talladega. They had to put their cat to sleep today. She was
old and sick. They had enjoyed her for 14 great years. She had a
beautiful name—Valentine. Life goes on. I only wish it could last as
long for pets as it does for humans.
