...Lots of Wind; Not Much Rain...

Most of Alabama will remain on the "dry" west wide of the large circulation
of tropical storm Frances today. We will have occasional showers, but
rainfall amounts for Birmingham should be under one-half inch. Over in west
Alabama, places like Tuscaloosa, Fayette, and Demopolis will barely have
enough rain to wet the pavement. The greatest rain totals should be over
near the Georgia border where around one inch is possible. The big rain
totals will be well to the east over parts of Georgia and South Carolina.

As the circulation center of Frances moves northward through Georgia, north
winds will be in the 15 to 30 mph range, with the higher gusts over the far
eastern counties of Alabama. We do not expect any significant problems with
tree or power line damage. So. all eyes turn to:

IVAN: The hurricane in the Atlantic is forecast to be along the northern
coast of Cuba by Saturday afternoon, perhaps in a position to enter the Gulf
of Mexico. Sustained winds are now in the 105 mph range, but the system is
forecast to become a major hurricane by the time it reaches the Lesser
Antilles.

And, if all of this is not enough, another strong tropical wave in the
eastern Atlantic has the potential to become tropical storm Jose over the
next few days as it moves westward.

WEEKEND PEEK: Much drier air returns to Alabama by tomorrow night, and we
expect sunny days and clear nights through Saturday. Humidity values will be
low, and nights will be pleasantly cool for early September. Looks like an
ideal football weekend.

WET PORT CITY: Mobile measured 35.50" of rain during June, July, and August,
making it the second wettest summer on record.
