...Unusual September Weather...

RAIN IN THE FORECAST EVERY DAY: Supposedly we are getting into what
is traditionally the driest time of the year in Alabama, especially
late September and
October

Not so this week as we have some mention of rain or storms in the
forecast all week and at least some mention of rain into early next
week. We believe that the main
showers and storms producing the biggest amount of rain will be
through at least Wednesday and maybe Thursday. There is still a good
chance of showers and storms on Friday.

HOW MUCH RAIN: The model guidance that tries to give us some estimate
on rain amounts, has varied lately. So often we have to use our best
judgment. Here in Central Alabama, we are looking for rain amounts
between 2-4 inches from tonight through Thursday. Probably the heavier
amounts will be Tuesday and Wednesday when we should exceed 2 inches
for that 48-hour period.

The reason for all the rain is a low-pressure area that formed over
the NW Gulf of Mexico and an upper-level low centered over Texas. The
surface low was over Central Louisiana this afternoon. It will work
its way toward North Mississippi and North Alabama and move little
after that over the weekend. These low-pressure areas that come out of
the Gulf of Mexico are always overloaded with moisture and are always
some our best rain producers. We believe there will be a decrease in
showers and storms over the weekend.

The extensive cloudiness and showers will hold the old thermometer in
check and most high temperatures will be around the 80-degree mark. We
are looking for only upper 70s tomorrow.

DROUGHT BREAKERS: Amazing how extreme drought areas of Central and
South Texas have received so much rain lately. San Antonio has
received 5 inches in the last several days and some parts of the
drought area even more. A number of flash flood reports coming out of
North and Central Texas this afternoon. A wide area extending from
East Texas across Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama could
have some flash flood problems for the next couple of days.

TROPICAL WEATHER: It is a non-story for today. What was once
Hurricane Fred is only a skeleton low-pressure area in the open
Atlantic. This is an unusual tropical year because long-term records
over many, many years show that tropical storms and hurricanes reach
their peak around September 10.

GLOBAL NOTES: 3.85 inches of rain at San Juan, 3.09 inches at Tyler,
Texas in the last 24 hours. 107 was the hottest in the USA Sunday in
Death Valley. Cold spots this morning 33 at Saranac Lake, NY and
Buckland, Alaska.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: I am not sure I should even try to tell
this story, because I am afraid it will not be believed. Last night
toward midnight, I took Molly out the front door for her final
bathroom break. At that instant, a dark black form rushed out from
between our house and our neighbor next door and sped across the
traffic circle. It was not a rabbit, a cat or a dog. It was moving
like a seal or a walrus trying to avoid a polar bear. It was about the
size of Molly and she went absolutely berserk. She was jerking so hard
on the leash trying to get to the thing that I was afraid that she
would hurt her neck. I manually picked her up and held her. Her little
tiny heart was pounding away like a water pump. I have never seen her
so upset and barking so loud. I got the distinct impression that that
little girl was ready to give her life to protect me. We never did
know what it was. A neighbor suggested an armadillo. When I finally
got Molly under control and back in the house, she raced from backdoor
to front door continuously trying to keep watch. Life goes on—scary at
times.

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.
