...More Showers and Storms...

A SEA OF HUMIDITY: Feels like a sauna bath out there on the great
Alabama countryside today. The humidity is high and it will stay that
way for several days. The very moist air is not only at the surface,
but upper air soundings from Birmingham this morning show that the
very moist air is almost 20,000 feet deep.

All of this translates to more showers and thunderstorms. The tropical
low that moved out of the Gulf of Mexico was centered along the
Louisiana/Mississippi border between Monroe and Natchez this morning.
It will slowly move further north and maybe NE. It is a lazy low-
pressure area, not moving very much at all. The latest projections
keep it almost stationary for the next 24 hours. In an air mass of
this type, it is not difficult to forecast showers and thunderstorms,
but the timing is another story. With moist air still moving inland
from the Gulf, clusters of showers and thunderstorms spread northward.
this means that the rain will not be continuous, so there are times
when we can get several hours break.

The storms yesterday set off some flash flooding in Tallapoosa County
with several roads covered with water in Camp Hill where there was
2.49 inches of rain. Some other notable rain amounts:

3.35 Robrtsdale
1.20 Evergreen
1.15 Jasper
1.42 Falkville
1.62 Huntsville
1.88 Montgomery
2.24 Mobile

We still expect somewhere between 2-4 inches of rain. It may be more
like 2-3 inches. We think the most prominent showers and thunderstorms
will continue off and on through at least Thursday, thinning out a bit
on Friday and becoming more scattered by Saturday. This is going to be
a long drawn out event and we will have to keep mention of showers and
thunderstorms at least through next Tuesday.

TROPICAL: Shazam! We all of a sudden have three disturbed areas at
the same time. A large area was from the SE Bahamas NE to near
Bermuda. Upper-level winds are unfriendly. Nearly halfway across the
Atlantic, the bones of Hurricane Fred are still hanging on. Conditions
could become slightly favourable for redevelopment. James will be
rooting for him. Finally, in the far East Atlantic, another disturbed
area and development, if any, will be slow.

DROUGHT BUSTING: The sudden onslaught of substantial rain across Texas
can be credited to the same weather system that has given us rain. It
is amazing that as much as 10 inches of rain has fallen in part of
that area in the last 7 days. However, a week of rain does not a
drought break, but it helps. For example, Corpus Christi has received
5 inches of recent rain, but still 13 inches deficit for the year.

ROAMING: High temperatures in Baghdad around 99 for the next several
days. The worst of their summer is over. 103 the USA hotspot Monday at
Gila Bend, Arizona (pronounced Hela Bend). Chilly spots this morning:
30 Truckee, California and 29 Eagle, Alaska.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: When I took Little Miss Molly out the
front door for her final bathroom break around midnight, I picked her
up and had a little nose-to-nose talk. I warned her to not look for
the varmint that had raced out from between our house and our neighbor
the night before. Low and behold, immediately she raced to between our
houses pulling me like a kite to see what she could find. Whatever it
was, was no where to be seen and I was very happy. 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.
