...Happy Labor Day!...

Labor Day usually has something interesting going on in the tropical
Atlantic. The Labor Day Hurricane of 1935 is the all time champion
for intensity at landfall in the United States. In 1965, Hurricane
Betsy had forecasters and residents befuddled along the East Coast as
she twisted and turned more times than an Alabama Adventure roller
coaster. In 1979, Hurricane David was bearing down on the Southeast
coast of Florida, luckily a shadow of its former self. Behind David
was the sixth named storm of the year, languishing under the lead
hurricane's outflow as it churned westward near the Virgin Islands.
It would get a new lease on life in the Southeast Gulf of Mexico and
strike the Alabama coast on September 12, 1979. Its name?
Frederic. In 2004, Frances made Labor Day miserable for millions of
Floridians. On this Labor Day, we have a Category Five hurricane
churning through the Caribbean…its name?

FELIX: Hurricane Felix jumped into the ranks of the thirty one
Category Five hurricanes of North Atlantic Hurricane history last
night as an Air Force crew found near record winds, extreme
turbulence, unusual lightning activity and had their plane battered
by graupel, or ice pellets. The mission had to be aborted after the
crew had performed their heroic duty and found winds of 165 mph.
That number was probably conservative, and the top winds were likely
180 mph or more. Look for more on Felix in today's Weather Blog.

YOUR FORECAST: Was it just me, or did it feel like September
yesterday. Get used to it, because it will feel that way through
midweek. Easterly winds around high pressure to the north will
funnel dry air into Alabama over the next three days. This will
allow for coolish overnight lows in the middle 60s. With less
cloudiness, temperatures will be much warmer today and tomorrow than
yesterday. In fact, we will see highs back in the 90s in many
locations by tomorrow. Meanwhile, high pressure over the Gulf will be
sliding to the east and moisture will be loading to the west of
Alabama. A developing trough over the central part of the nation
will push eastward late in the week, This will allow a front to
approach us from the north on Saturday. Rain chances will increase
with the approach of the front. The wild card is Felix. Felix will
enter the southwestern Gulf by Friday and we will be watching to see
if the trough is able to influence the hurricane's motion. It looks
unlikely, but if it does, it could have a big influence on Alabama's
weather.

ON THIS DATE IN 1821: The Long Island Hurricane of 1821 is the only
hurricane to directly strike the area which is currently New York
City. The Category 3 hurricane raised the water level at the Battery
to thirteen feet above normal sea level. The East River and Hudson
Rivers reportedly merged, inundating Manhattan to Canal Street. A
similar storm today is a worst case scenario for preparedness
officials. A similar storm striking Manhattan today would result in
countless injuries and fatalities. Damage could total $50 Billion.
