GOOD AFTERNOON: Clouds are holding tough across Alabama this afternoon,
although western sections got some sunshine, especially early. A fresh
northerly breeze is blowing around low pressure over the Carolinas. Some
low clouds will form again late tonight Sunday promises to be a pleasant
day after a cool start. Partly sunny to partly cloudy conditions will
continue for the most part all week. A disturbance to the north of Alabama
might set off a few showers Wednesday.

TROPICS: Subtropical depression #22 formed in the Atlantic southeast of
Bermuda. It is expected to become a subtropical storm, and could acquire
tropical characteristics (e.g. a warm core circulation) during the next two
days as it moves generally west northwestward. It could be an eventual
player in weather for the Northeast United States. When it reaches storm
strength (either subtropical or tropical) it will be called Vince.
Elsewhere, there are no other significant disturbances.

2005 HURRICANE SEASON: We have already seen 19 named storms in the Atlantic,
rapidly approaching the record of 21 set in 1933. There have been 10
hurricanes. There were 10 in 1933. The record is 12 in 1969. There have
been 5 major hurricanes this year, the same as in 1933. The record for
major hurricanes is 7 set in 1950.

WARM, WET DAY IN THE EAST: A tropical airmass ahead of a strong cold front
is resulting in lots of warm and wet weather along the East Coast. Several
daily rainfall records were set on Friday, including: Washington's National
Airport with 3.63 inches, 3.5 inches at Dulles Airport, 2.28 inches at
Baltimore, 1.39 inches at Caribou and 3.97 inches at Harrisburg PA.

A major flooding event is setting up over much of the East Coast today. The
amount of moisture available to produce rainfall in running 400%-500% above
normal. This moisture is impinging on a strong frontal boundary that lies
just to the west of the coast. Numerous waves of low pressure are rippling
along the front, producing lots of heavy rain from the Carolinas to New
England. Numerous flash flood watches are in effect. The Yankees/Angels
Division Series game in New York City looks to be in jeopardy today because
of the rains.

Daily high records were not in jeopardy yesterday, as clouds and rain kept
down the maximums, but many daily record minimum temperatures were set this
morning. The low at Roanoke, VA was 68F. It was 64F in Blacksburg, VA.
Other records included Lynchburg 67F, Danville VA 69F, and Blacksburg, WV
with 64F. It was 74F in Columbia SC, and 69F in Albany NY.

ON THIS DATE IN 1871: Following a major summer drought, the town of
Peshtigo, Wisconsin was destroyed by a massive firestorm in just ten
minutes. The fire raced northward into Michigan. Nearly 1200 people died
in the Peshtigo Fire, including 600 in the town itself. The Peshtigo Fire
is the deadliest fire ever in American history. Other fires raged in parts
of Wisconsin, Michigan and other Great Lakes states, including the Great
Chicago Fire. More about the Chicago Fire in today's Weather Talk.
