...Nice Sunday...

The days are getting shorter and the temperatures are backing off a bit.
Today is a significant date in Birmingham climate data. It is the earliest
that we have seen temperatures in the forties in the Magic City. It
happened back on this date in 1969.

FOR YOUR SUNDAY: Skies will be partly cloudy again today. Temperatures
will warm well into the upper 80s. There is a slight chance of isolated to
widely scattered storms this afternoon. Tonight should feature fair skies
again with lows in the 60s to near 70.

MONDAY: Tomorrow looks like a carbon copy of today, with partly cloudy
skies and warm conditions. The only difference could be an increase in
afternoon storms. Still, chances will be relatively small, with coverage
expected to be scattered at best. Highs will once again be in the upper
80s.

TUESDAY: A front will approach the area on Tuesday. This will increase the
chance of showers and thunderstorms. They should peak Tuesday evening.
They will last into the overnight hours before a cold front pushes through
the central part of the state.

WEDNESDAY AND BEYOND: It looks like that we will be in for a spate of nice
weather behind the front with drier air filtering into the state starting on
Wednesday. This nice regime should be with us through at least Friday.
FLORENCE: Tropical Storm Florence began a strengthening trend late on
Friday. It seemed that the storm was finally going to live up to its
advance billing. But despite good outflow, the storm continued to encounter
significant wind shear, and the intensification trend ceased. Still,
Florence is expected to become a hurricane later today, maybe by the time
you read this. Anyway, Florence is starting to recurve now. Florence is
gradually turning to a more northerly course, and eventually will assume a
northeasterly track. The hurricane is expected to pass near or just west of
Bermuda on Monday morning. It may still be a hurricane as it accelerates to
the northeast, passing near the eastern sections of Newfoundland on
Wednesday.

Intensification, even rapid intensification is still expected and Florence
could have winds of over 100 mph when it approaches Bermuda. Hurricane
Fabian is the strongest hurricane to strike Bermuda. It hit the island
nation on September 5, 2003 with top winds of 120 mph. Could Florence get
that strong? Time will tell.

ON THIS DATE IN 1811: As a tropical storm passed near the city of
Charleston SC, it produced a significant tornado that moved northwest across
the center of the city. 60 homes, many of them mansions, were destroyed.
Eleven people were killed in the calamity.
