Just two years ago, Birmingham experienced one of its worst weather days in
history as Hurricane Ivan made landfall during the early morning hours just
west of Gulf Shores as a Category Three hurricane with top winds of 125 mph.
The hurricane caused significant surge flooding along the Alabama and
Northwest Florida coasts, with the worst damage in the Perdido Key. The
surge was measured at 10-15 feet from the Baldwin County coast to the Destin
area. Seven people died in the Panama City and Blountstown area of Florida
on the afternoon of the 15th. A peak wind gust of 48 mph was reported at
the Birmingham Airport and 9.81 inches of rain fell, a 24 hour record for
the Magic City. The pressure dropped to a very low 989.6 mb (29.22 inches)
at Birmingham as the low passed.

OUR FORECAST: Today will be a beautiful day here in North and Central
Alabama lot of sunshine and very warm temperatures. Highs will top out in
the upper 80s with a few 90 degree readings possible. Skies will be clear
tonight with temperatures dropping off into the lower 60s. Moisture levels
will be on the increase tomorrow as the Gulf of Mexico opens up more and
southerly winds begin to increase. Can't rule out the chance of a shower
late Sunday night, but the main rain and storm activity will come on Monday
as a cold front approaches from the northwest. It looks like the best
chances for storms, some of which could be strong to severe, will come
Monday afternoon into the overnight hours. The front will slowly move
across the area, with showers exiting to the east on Tuesday. Cooler
conditions will prevail during the midweek period, making it feel positively
springlike.

FOOTBALL FORECAST: UAB travels to Athens to take on the Georgia Bulldogs at
noon. Sunny and warm conditions will prevail with temperatures during the
game in the upper 80s. Auburn hosts LSU on the Plains this afternoon and
it will be warm, with gametime temperatures approaching 90 degrees. It
should be sunny and dry. Alabama entertains Louisiana-Monroe at the
Capstone tonight. Mostly clear skies will prevail with temperatures falling
into the 70s during the game.

TROPICS: Gordon and Helene are of no consequence except to shipping at
this time in the Atlantic. In the Pacific, Hurricane Lane will move inland
over Mexico, brushing the southern tip of Baja California. It may well be a
major hurricane.

ON THIS DATE IN 1990: Hurricane Floyd made landfall near Cape Fear, North
Carolina, causing massive inland flooding, the worst in the history of North
Carolina. The toll of 56 deaths made Floyd the most deadly U.S. hurricane
since Agnes in 1972. Having weakened from its Category 4 status three days
earlier, the hurricane made landfall on the North Carolina Coast near Cape
Fear at 3 am EDT with top winds of 110 mph. The hurricane dumped 19 inches
of rain on Wilmington NC and 16 inches near Myrtle Beach SC. Rainfall
totals were as high as 20 inches over portions of eastern North Carolina and
Virginia.
