...Cooler Days Ahead...

We can thank Ernesto for our fine weather this Labor Day weekend. The storm
is heading toward Canada this morning, but not before bringing some
impressive rainfall amounts and high winds to the Mid-Atlantic. A dry
northerly flow on the back of the big low pressure system is funneling
relatively cool, dry air into the Southeast.

LOOKING FORWARD TO LABOR DAY: Not much change is expected through Sunday
with just partly cloudy skies. Humidities will be relatively low. We will
reintroduce a slight chance of an afternoon shower or storm on Labor Day,
but the probabilities will be very small. A new cold front will approach on
Tuesday. Rain chances will increase by that time, continuing into Wednesday.

FOOTBALL FORECAST: UAB travels to Norman to take on the Boomer Sooners of
Oklahoma. There is slight chance of a storm during the game. Temperatures
will be in the 80s. Auburn and Alabama both have home openers tonight.
Skies should be partly cloudy with temperatures dropping into the 70s during
the game.

HURRICANE JOHN: Cabo San Lucas was visited by a once powerful hurricane
last night. The mountainous terrain of Baja California will knock the storm
down considerably. Moisture from the system will be drawn up into the
Southwest United States.

ATLANTIC ACTIVITY: Our quiet Atlantic season continues as Ernesto exits
stage right. There is nothing really significant in the Atlantic except for
a wave in the middle of the ocean between Africa and the Windward Islands.
It has some potential for development. All of the experts are downgrading
their projected counts for the year. That's good news.

RECORD BIN 95 in Fort Lauderdale and Miami on Friday were both records for
the date. Friday was the wettest day ever at Norfolk, VA, as 8.93 inches
of rain fell.

ON THIS DATE IN 1666: It had been an intensely hot summer in London. A dry
northeast wind had blown most of the summer thanks to persistent high
pressure over northern Europe. The city's wooden houses were tinder dry.
The threat of fire was far from the minds of most Londoners. They more
concerned about a possible attack by the Dutch, since England was at war. A
small fire broke out on this date. Fanned by strong winds, it spread
rapidly. The fire burned out of control for three days. Finally, the
northeast wind ceased on September 5th, but the fire kept on burning for
four more days. The rains arrived on September 9th to completely extinguish
the blazes. The final toll was 13,200 houses damaged. Nearly 100,000 of
the city's 600,000 residents were homeless. Amazingly, only four people
died. London would be rebuilt with stone and brick buildings.
