Rainy period still looks likely for early next week, though my confidence level is not especially high at this juncture.&nbsp; The combined circulation around a high pressure off to the north and whatever becomes of tropical depression Ida in the Gulf of Mexico will create some gusty winds Monday through Tuesday.           ]]></description>

Dianne Mooney - thewomensfundbham.org - When I ask myself why I support The Women&#8217;s Fund of Greater Birmingham, it&#8217;s not only because I CAN, but it&#8217;s also because I know the money will be spent to make life better for a very targeted group of women and girls who are in great need&#8230;           ]]></description>
