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

It is not as obvious here yet, with temperatures still very warm (some
locations will see 90 today.) But look to the north. A significant
outbreak of severe weather is expected again today over parts of the Upper
Mississippi Valley, including Minnesota, South Dakota, Iowa and Nebraska.
This activity is developing in advance of a strong upper level trough that
is advancing across the northern tier of states. Winter storm warnings are
in effect over a large part of western Montana with snow advisories over
parts of the Tetons and Bighorn Mountains in Wyoming. Up to 6 to 12 inches
of snow will fall over parts of western Montana above 5000 feet.

OUR WEATHER: Enjoying another gorgeous late summer Saturday across Alabama.
A few locations will make at least 90 degrees today under nearly total
sunshine. Skies will be clear and temperatures comfortable tonight with
lows dropping into the lower to middle 60s. Tomorrow will dawn clear and
nice again with abundant sunshine. Highs will rival those of today.
Moisture levels will be on the rise tomorrow, however, slowly at first
leading to a gradual increase in clouds. A cold front will be approaching
Alabama from the northwest, and it will set the stage for a slight chance of
showers and storms during the overnight hours Sunday night. Showers and
storms will increase quickly Monday morning and may last much of the day and
through the overnight as the front moves slowly through the area. Severe
weather is possible with this system if the upper level dynamics are strong
enough and there is sufficient instability. It is a situation that deserves
monitoring. Rain should end Tuesday morning with clearing, drier and cooler
air in the wake of the system.

TROPICS: Gordon is still a hurricane several hundred miles east of Bermuda.
Helene became a hurricane just before noon over one thousand miles east of
the Leeward Islands. It is expected to slowly recurve to the north, well
east of Bermuda. In the Pacific, Hurricane Lane is a major hurricane with
top winds of 125 mph. The hurricane will strike the Mexican coast late this
afternoon.

ON THIS DATE IN 1928: Residents around Lake Okeechobee knew that the
approaching hurricane was bad. But they had no idea how bad it would be.
The lake was high after a summer of heavy rains. As the Category Four storm
began blowing over Palm Beach, conditions around the lake began to
deteriorate rapidly. The 125 mph winds blowing in a counterclockwise
direction piled the waters of the huge lake against the southern shoreline.
The small dikes were quickly swamped by what would eventually be a 25 foot
storm surge. Residents were driven from their disintegrating homes into the
raging waters. As they sought refuge in the trees, many were bitten by
crazed water moccasins. Towns like Belle Glade and Moore Haven were washed
away. When the terrible night was over, 1,836 were said to have died. The
actual count was much higher, as many of the people who were killed were
migrant workers or other impoverished people whose lives were not valued.
