The Stokin' the Fire BBQ Festival is at Sloss Furnaces today. The
Kansas City Barbecue Society sanctioned event runs until 11 p.m.
tonight. Admission is $10 for adults, $5 for kids 5-12 and free for
children under 5. There will be music on the Hog Wild stage and kids
activities. Of course, there is the 'cue. You can buy plenty of it,
and watch as teams compete for $20,000 in prizes. Proceeds benefit
the Sloss Furnaces Foundation, dedicated to preserving the treasure
that is Sloss Furnaces.

WEEKEND WEATHER: Numerous mescoscale boundaries leftover from
yesterday's storms, plenty of moisture and a weakening upper level
ridge is a recipe for something we have grown to appreciate as much
as barbecue here in Birmingham: rainfall. Scattered storms will
develop this afternoon as a good bit of sunshine warms the atmosphere
over eastern sections. Early clouds over western sections may set up
a differential heating situation just west of I-65. Storms that do
form will produce torrential rains, deadly lightning. Damaging winds
look less likely today, but could return tomorrow. Highs will top
out generally in the lower 90s, cooler in locations with early
storms, hotter in places that are untouched by nearby activity.
Expect a carbon copy for tomorrow. Again, highs will be dependent
upon when storms begin in your area.

NEXT WEEK: A weaker version of our high will hold through midweek,
with plenty of moisture to create daily doses of scattered afternoon
and evening storms. Highs will be in the 90s. By Thursday, a
developing low pressure trough over the east will send a cold front
drifting our way and enhancing our shower and storm chances by
Thursday and Friday.

NATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS: Hurricane Dean entered the Category Five Hall
of Dame earlier this week before it moved across the Yucatan and into
Mexico. The remnant moisture has worked its way into southern
Arizona and New Mexico, shunted northward by the ridge of high
pressure to the east. Some impressive rainfall overnight, especially
north of Tucson, eastward over to near Lordsburg, New Mexico. The
high today in Phoenix is expected to be only in the upper 90s.
Severe weather is possible today from the Ohio Valley into New
England ahead of a wavy cold front. A small area of severe weather
is possible over the Oklahoma Panhandle, SW Kansas and SE Colorado
today also. Severe flooding still continues on rivers in the Midwest.

THE GREAT MOBILE HURRICANE: Early on the morning of Wednesday,
August 25, 1852, the wind at Mobile began blowing strongly from the
northeast and a steady rain began to fall. It was the first sign
that there was a serious hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico, southeast
of the city. As the Great Mobile Hurricane of 1852 came ashore near
Pascagoula MS, the wind continued to blow, shifting around to the
southeast as the hurricane passed to the southwest. The southeast
wind pushed waters up into Mobile Bay, causing the worst flooding the
port city had ever seen.
