...Tropical Showers Continue...

STORMS FALLING IN LOVE WITH ALABAMA: Yes, this is better than a
drought. I believe most anybody would agree with that. We got a clear
indication this morning from Vic Bell, the 33/40 Skywatcher for
Scrougeout in NE Etowah County. He has already received 54.38 inches
of rain this year as compared to only 26.79 at this same time in 2007
during our first-class drought.
It looks like the good rain events will continue, at least through the
weekend with showers and thunderstorms prominent every day and even
numerous at times. The latest guidance that tries to help us with rain
amounts is pointing to around 3-4 inches of additional rain between
now and late Sunday. The plus side to all of this is the more friendly
daytime temperatures, mostly in the low to mid 80s. It appears that
the Friday night high school football games may have to really watch
for some showers. We will have a more complete forecast in the
editions tomorrow both for Thursday and Friday night high school games
and Saturday college games.

WHY ALL THE RAIN: This is tropical in nature. A low-pressure system
formed over the NW Gulf and never became a formal tropical depression,
but as it moved inland it pulled a tremendous amount of deep tropical
air into Alabama, so that is what we are dealing with now. That low
was centered over Arkansas today and there was also a low-pressure
area aloft. It appears that the surface low will not move much. In
fact, it may meander around a bit and still be over Louisiana Friday.

WHEN WILL ALL THIS END: We are looking for some cooler air to reach
Alabama early next week and by the middle of next week we should have
some low temperatures in the lower 60s with highs only in the mid 70s.
One of our models points to a low of 58 next Wednesday.

TROPICAL WEATHER: There is low potential for the remnants of Fred to
reach tropical storm strength again. He was way out in the open
Atlantic. Over in the Eastern Atlantic there is another broad area of
low pressure. Development of that will be slow. The big thing in
tropical news is Hurricane Ivan that made landfall near Gulf Shores at
2:10 a.m. five years ago today. Winds were estimated to 130 mph and
Gulf Shores and Pensacola were hard hit. I spent the entire day at the
33/40 Weather Office doing frequent radio updates and helping update
the BLOG. Literally thousands of trees were uprooted and 90 mph winds
were reported as far north as Demopolis. Amazing rain amounts with
Birmingham receiving a record 9.81 inches.

ELSEWHERE: We had a report from Columbus, Mississippi of 8.50 inches
of rain yesterday and overnight, including 3.25 inches since midnight.
Around the USA, 103 was the hot spot in McAllen, Texas and lowest this
morning 33 at Bryce Canyon, Utah and 28 at Eagle, Alaska. Frost is
forecast for Caribou, Maine tomorrow night with a low of 30.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: The thunder was so faint that I could
not hear it, but Little Molly (with her sonar ears) did pick it up and
she started shaking in bed late last night. Again this morning, a very
faint distant thunder and she hid behind my easy chair in the corner
of the living area. I had to really coax her to go outside for her
bathroom break. In fact, I had to wave a treat at her. Even then she
was very conscious and as soon as she did her duty she did a 180 and
headed back home. Life goes on.

Our Hope In Difficult Times

We all struggle. A family in turmoil, job loss, health issues, a mess we
helped create. We live in difficult times.

Facing tough times is different with Jesus Christ than without Him.
Does that sound too "churchy?" Too easy? Don't be dismayed or misled.

Our Hope In Difficult Times is the current sermon series at Hunter
Street Baptist Church. There is hope. You don't have to struggle alone.

Join us this Sunday at Hunter Street, 2600 John Hawkins Parkway in
Hoover. Visit http://www.hunterstreet.org or call 205.985.7295.
