==================================================================

I hold my breath every time that the Space Shuttle takes off or lands still,
and I am happy to be breathing again after Atlantis successfully took off on
its mission to the International Space Station this morning. Weather was
not a factor at the Cape.

OUR WEATHER: We started off the day rather cloudy in most locations, which
I didn't mind because of an early morning golf lesson. An upper level
disturbance passing to our north triggered the clouds. A few showers and
even thunderstorms occurred earlier over eastern Mississippi. By late
morning, clouds were beginning to break up over parts of Northwest and North
Central Alabama. Most areas should make the middle to upper 80s today with
partly cloudy skies. Expect a repeat performance tomorrow. Just a slight
chance of an afternoon thunderstorm both days. An approaching front will
bring increasing chances of showers and storms on Tuesday. Some of them
could be strong. Then drier air will filter in behind the front, giving us
fair conditions through the end of the week.

TROPICS: Tropical storm Florence certainly became better organized during
the overnight hours. The National Hurricane Center is holding just short of
calling it a hurricane, since the system has no eye just yet. But it does
have a decent central dense overcast\t now with thunderstorms concentrated
around the center. You can also see the tell-tale clockwise flow in the
outflow, indicating that Florence is coming under the influence of an upper
level high pressure system, which makes the environment conducive for
strengthening. Bermuda is keeping a close eye on the intensifying storm. A
tropical storm warning has been issued for the island, in addition to the
hurricane watch that was already in effect. Later today, we may be dealing
with a hurricane. Air Force reconnaissance took off from San Juan just
before 10:30 a.m. this morning and should bee feeding us reports on the
storm by early afternoon. The storm is moving northwest and is expected to
gradually begin to recurve and pass near Bermuda early Monday morning, then
head out to sea. Florence could pass near the Canadian Maritimes Wednesday.

ONCE AROUND THE NATION : Frost and freeze warnings are in effect for the
northern parts of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and northern Wisconsin.
Strong thunderstorms over Arizona prompted severe thunderstorm warnings at
mid-morning around Phoenix. Wildfires continue across the West. We are
heading for a new record for acreage burned by wildfire in a single year.
Over eight and one half million acres have burned this season so far.

ON THIS DATE IN 1994: Thunderstorms usually cool things down, but not when
they create a phenomenon called a heat burst. At Glasgow MT, a heat burst
raised the temperature from 68 degrees at 5:02 am to 93 degrees by 5:17 am.
The heat burst is caused when air is forced from very high altitudes to the
ground, warming by compression along the way.
