Weather conditions are deteriorating on the island of Bermuda this afternoon
as large Hurricane Florence sets her sights on the tiny nation in the middle
of the Atlantic Ocean. Bermuda is no stranger to hurricanes. Hurricane
Fabian passed very close to the island just three years ago with winds of
120 mph. Tropical storm force winds will affect the island through the
afternoon and overnight hours as the huge expanse of tropical storm force
winds envelopes the island. The storm should be at its closest approach
point to Bermuda at about 7 a.m. CDT tomorrow. Bermudans can then expect
three to perhaps as many as 6 hours of occasional sustained hurricane force
winds.

OUR WEATHER: Today dawned mainly fair and comfortable across North and
Central Alabama this morning. Morning lows ranged from 59 at DeSoto State
Park to 69 at the Birmingham International Airport. Most locations were in
the upper 60s across Central Alabama. A little fog was visible from Cheaha
State Park while a few clouds were over western Alabama. Skies should be
partly cloudy across the region today with only a slight chance of a shower
or storm at your location. Highs should top out in the upper 80s. Fair
skies will prevail tonight with lows retreating into the upper 60s.

THE WEEK AHEAD: By tomorrow morning, low pressure will be over northern
Missouri. It will be dragging a cold front southeastward over the Plains
states. Monday will be a lot like today, with partly cloudy skies. We have
hints that shower and storm chances will increase just a tad. The front
moves slowly through the area starting late Monday night, setting off
showers and storms. They could be with us most of the day before the front
moves through in the overnight. High pressure builds in after that.

TROPICS: Today is the traditional date of peak tropical activity in the
Atlantic. We have already dealt with Florence. Elsewhere in the tropics,
there is a low about 600 miles east northeast of the Lesser Antilles. It is
moving west in the wake of Florence, and will follow her lead into a recurve
out to sea. Slow development is possible. The GFS depicts a tropical
cyclone developing near the Cape Verde Islands in 3 to 4 days. Again, the
trough over the East Coast will protect the United States and deflect this
system out to sea also. Tropical cyclones are designed to transport heat
from the tropics to the poles, and no better way for them to do than to stay
over the open Atlantic.

ON THIS DATE IN 2003: A lightning strike led to a $21 million Lotto jackpot
for a Wellington, Florida couple. The couple bought the ticket as they
shopped for a surge protector for their repaired television set which had
been damaged by lightning a few days before.
