...Nice Labor Day In Store...

The holiday weekend is shaping up to be a pretty nice one weather
wise here in Central Alabama, although the definition of a nice
forecast has arguably changed with the drought conditions gripping
the state. But, if you have a lake trip or barbecue planned for this
afternoon or tomorrow, enjoy the less humid, relatively mild and
mostly dry conditions.

THE WEEK AHEAD: High pressure over the northeast will keep an
easterly flow going over the northern half of Alabama for the next
couple of days. This will allow that drier air to push into the
state. You may have noticed a fresh easterly breeze today. The
lower dewpoints will allow for some comfortable overnight readings,
with lows in the middle to perhaps even lower 60s, which is quite
refreshing considering the recent record warm nighttime readings.
Three could be an isolated shower or storm each afternoon, but rain
chances will be very small. High pressure in the Gulf will slide far
enough east to allow a tremendous buildup of moisture to the west of
Alabama late in the week and an approaching trough will send a cool
front our way, increasing our rain chances for the weekend.

FELIX: Hurricane Felix intensified overnight and is now a category
two hurricane, cruising west northwestward over the southern
Caribbean. The hurricane passed very close to the islands of the
Netherlands Antilles and Aruba early this morning. But the islands
were on the weaker left semicircle and no tropical storm force winds
have been reported. The hurricane jogged a little westward during
the overnight but should be on a slightly north of due west course
for the foreseeable future. This will carry it over the open waters
of the Caribbean. By early afternoon on Monday, Felix will be about
200 miles south of Jamaica. Tropical storm force winds should remain
well south of the island, but a tropical storm watch remains in
effect out of an abundance of caution on the island, which dodged a
bullet with Hurricane Dean. Tropical storm force winds will begin
affecting the far northern part of Nicaragua and eastern Honduras
after midnight Monday night. Hurricane force winds will affect the
Honduran coast Tuesday and the eye will likely make a brief
landfall. Flooding will be a huge problem in the mountainous areas
of these two nations. Remember, Hurricane Fifi killed 8,000 people
on a similar track in 1974. Early Wednesday, Felix will make another
landfall on the Central Belize coast, likely as a category four
storm, although interaction with land could bring this down a
category or so.

ON THIS DATE IN 1666: It had been an intensely hot summer in
London. A dry northeast wind had blown most of the summer thanks to
persistent high pressure over northern Europe. The city's wooden
houses were tinder dry. The threat of fire was far from the minds of
most Londoners. They more concerned about a possible attack by the
Dutch, since England was at war. A small fire broke out on this
date. Fanned by strong winds, it spread rapidly. The fire burned
out of control for three days. Finally, the northeast wind ceased on
September 5th, but the fire kept on burning for four more days. The
rains arrived on September 9th to completely extinguish the blazes.
The final toll was 13,200 houses damaged. Nearly 100,000 of the
city's 600,000 residents were homeless. Amazingly, only four people
died. London would be rebuilt with stone and brick buildings.
