...Dry Weather To Continue...

GOOD MORNING! Four years ago, I was in Telluride, Colorado, watching in
horror as the terrorist attacks of September 11th unfolded before my very
eyes on national television. It seemed very surreal to see first one tower
of the World Trade Center, then the other billowing smoke after airliners
crashed into them. Then the jet crashed into the Pentagon and Flight 93
crashed in Pennsylvania while both towers fell to the ground. It was a
terrible day.

OUR WEATHER: It was a beautiful day in New York City that September
morning, and we are enjoying an unusually fine spate of weather here in
Alabama this September. Of course, it has not rained here in the month,
and we could really use some rain.

OPHELIA: Hurricane Ophelia promises no relief in the precipitation
department. It will definitely stay east of us. There is also now some
hope that it might miss the U.S. coast entirely, or possibly brush the Outer
Banks as it moves north and then north northeast. This would be good news
for places like Wilmington and Myrtle Beach and Charleston. A more easterly
track might also spare the Chesapeake a powerful storm surge like they
experienced from Hurricane Isabel in 2003 that flooded Alexandria, Virginia
and the Inner Harbor area of Baltimore.

OUR WEEK AHEAD: A big ridge of high pressure in the upper atmosphere is
present over Alabama and the Deep South this morning. A large trough of low
pressure will be digging through the Rockies, suppressing the ridge to the
south over the Gulf of Mexico. The large upper trough will be lifting out
over Canada by week's end, but it will allow a front to approach our area
from the north. We will reintroduce a chance of showers by Friday. Until
then, warm and dry conditions will prevail.

ON THIS DATE IN 1979: Residents along the Gulf Coast were carefully
monitoring the progress of Hurricane Frederic over the southeastern Gulf of
Mexico. More about the historic storm in today's and tomorrow's editions of
Weather Talk.
