small projects like building a fence, planting shrubs and trees or
installing a mailbox.

prior to digging:

disruptions to your neighborhood.

...Wet Weather Is The Word...

RAIN WILL BE INCREASING: The weather system that we were depending on
to give us a lot of rain is still on the board, but it has been rather
slow to evolve. An upper low over Central Texas combined with a
developing low in the North Gulf were joining forces to bring a lot of
moist air into the SE states. So far, the most extensive rain with
this system has been to the west of Alabama.There was a lot of rain
Saturday in Louisiana, Arkansas and Texas. Indeed, even the critical
drought areas of Central and South Texas were getting some much needed
rain. They have been in an extreme drought for months. For the second
day in a row, San Antonio got more than 1 inch of rain and yesterday
San Angelo got 2.34 inches and Dallas/Ft. Worth 1.74.

HOW MUCH RAIN FOR ALABAMA: No much yesterday. Light showers were
having a struggle getting on shore into the south part of the state.
That will be changing starting today and lasting at least through
midweek. We still believe that Monday and Tuesday will be our main wet-
weather days. Some parts of Alabama could get 2-4 inches during that
time period. Even as late as Thursday, there should not be much of a
let up in the showers and thunderstorms. We will still be subject to
some showers and storms Friday and Saturday, just not as many.A lot of
this will depend on how the weather map evolves. The low that has been
hanging out over the NW Gulf of Mexico should be centered near the
Louisiana coast by late Tuesday and Wednesday. This will continue to
pump moist air northward into Alabama. A side benefit of the increased
cloud cover and the number of showers means our high temperatures for
much of the coming week will be around 80 to 82. On some days, we may
not even reach 80.

TROPICAL: The National Hurricane Center says that the low we have
been talking about over the NW Gulf of Mexico does not have a
favorable environment for tropical cyclone development. However, this
system should bring locally heavy rain to parts of the South/Central
and SE USA over the next few days. Meanwhile, what was once Hurricane
Fred is now a much weaker tropical depression Fred with sustained
winds down to 35 mph. He is way out in the Atlantic and of little or
no concern to anybody.

MISCELLANEOUS:
The high was only 73 in Dallas/Ft. Worth Saturday with heavy rain. New
Orleans received 2 inches of rain. The hottest in the USA Saturday was
117 in Death Valley. Coldest was 25 at the west entrance to
Yellowstone National Park and 32 in Deadhorse, Alaska.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: I took Little Miss Molly out the back
door for her long morning walk yesterday. She immediately went on full
alert because little Dino was walking along the track right by our
house and those two are lovebirds of the first order. They had a play
session and even kissed. Molly seemed to forget her bathroom duties
and instead wanted to follow Dino all the way. I have never seen two
little dogs so fond of each other in my whole life. Little Dino is
quite a bit younger than Molly and he does not weigh as much, but they
can really do some vigorous playing. Life goes on.
