...Dry Holiday...

Spent the morning watching all of the documentaries and specials that I had
TIVOd from the past week on Hurricane Katrina. C-SPAN ran four hours of
excellent coverage of a panel of authors from New Orleans on the anniversary
of the storm and a February function at the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth
where contributing photographers from the Dallas Morning News book “Eyes of
the Storm.” The morning brought back lots of powerful emotions.

ON THE WEATHER MAPS: The remnants of Ernesto are centered over northern
Virginia today, very near Washington, D.C. Heavy rain covers much of western
New York and Pennsylvania with lighter rains from southeastern Michigan
through much of New England. Numerous Flash Flood Watches are in effect
over a wide area, along with High Wind Warnings. The low will slowly lift
into New England over the next 48 hours. Across Alabama, a weak surface
boundary continues across the middle of the state with a trough over eastern
sections. A few showers and thunderstorms will develop today and Sunday in
the vicinity of this front and trough. They were already popping up on the
radar at the noon hour. Expect more of the same on Sunday.

LABOR DAY AND BEYOND: More generally isolated storms will continue on
Monday, with rain chances hovering at about one in five. Temperatures will
edge up just a bit on Monday, topping out in the upper 80s to near 90. So
all in all, the holiday should be an enjoyable one for outdoor activities.
A frontal system will approach the area on Tuesday as a larger upper trough
and bowling ball upper low sweeps our way. This will mean an increased
chance of rain for Tuesday into early Wednesday. Dry and pleasant weather
should continue for the rest of the week in the wake of the front.

ON THIS DATE IN 2002: Most businesses in the downtown area of Ladysmith, WI
were closed for Labor Day. The area was under a Moderate Risk outlook and
Severe Thunderstorm Watch. At 3:54 p.m., the National Weather Service in
the Twin Cities issued a severe thunderstorm warning for Rusk County
including Ladysmith. The warning was based on radar indications of a severe
thunderstorm about 14 miles west of the town of 3900 people. As the
thunderstorm passed over storm spotters west of the town, it did not look
like it was going to produce a tornado. At 4:20, the thunderstorm spawned a
tornado that first touched down about 1 ½ miles west of Ladysmith. A town
police officer spotted the tornado as it entered the town limits. As the
tornado roared directly through the heart of downtown, it produced F2 and F3
damage. 150 buildings were damaged or destroyed. Damage totaled $10
million. Fortunately no one was killed. It could have been much worse. On
a normal Monday, the downtown area would have been crowded with shoppers.
The tornado tracked directly along US-8, the main drag through town, heavily
damaging a 4 by 16 block area.
