...Hannah And Ike...

Last week it was Gustav and Hanna. This week it is Hanna and Ike.
Hanna will cause inclement weather all the way up the East Coast and
across the Atlantic eventually to Ireland. Ike poses a serious threat
to the United States.

HANNA: Hanna was still a tropical storm early this afternoon, passing
about 50 miles southeast of Richmond, Virginia. It will continue
moving northeast very quickly, at over 25 mph. Sustained tropical
storm force winds will be felt over a wide area, with warnings as far
north as Maine They might see some tropical storm force gusts in
D.C. where it is a miserable day. There will be tidal flooding in the
Delaware Bay, New York Harbor and the Long Island Sound as well as
along coastal locations. There will even be a small surge up the
Tidal Potomac in our nation's capital. By tonight, it will be passing
back out to sea near Atlantic City only to make landfall again over
eastern Long Island late tonight. Moving at over 30 mph by that
time,, the center will pass near Boston before it passes over the tip
ot the Cape and starts the long journey across the Atlantic.

IKE: Ike is still a category three hurricane early this afternoon,
about 750 miles east southeast of Key West and about 200 miles east
northeast of the Turks and Caicos, where hurricane warnings are in
effect. Hurricane conditions will arrive there tonight. By noon
tomorrow, tropical storm conditions will be affecting the southern
Bahamas where a hurricane watch is in effect. Ike will then be
picking a course across Cuba, along its north coast or stay over the
Florida Straits. The later greatly increases the threat to the
Florida Keys, which are extremely vulnerable. If it goes across Cuba,
it will fall to a Cat One. If it skims the coast, it should fall to a
Cat Two. If the center stays only the Florida Straits, it could be a
Category Four. Tropical storm force winds could arrive in the Keys as
early as Monday afternoon. And then it is into the Gulf. It will be
a changing situation as Ike steams into the Gulf with a myriad of
possibilities. We cannot rule out a landfall no the Central Gulf
Coast in the coming week, so all interest from Texas to Florida have
to be on their toes.

ALABAMA'S WEATHER: A Central Gulf Coast landfall would greatly
affect our weather with a surge of tropical moisture and wind. For
today, scattered showers and a couple of storms will be possible, but
coverage will be small. Mostly dry conditions should prevail tomorrow
and Monday with warm temperatures. An approaching frontal boundary
will spark scattered storms on Tuesday, but by then all eyes will be
on Ike. That front should push east and fail to pick up Ike on
Wednesday, leaving it to stew in the Gulf. Another approaching trough
will pick it up by Friday and shunt it north or northeast. We will
have to wait and see just where.

FOOTBALL FORECAST: Sultry in South Florida where UAB is playing.
Gametime temperatures near 90 and only a small chance of a shower.
Alabama takes on the Green Wave of Tulane at 6 p.m. in a Bryant-Denny
tilt. Only a small chance of a poncho with temperatures falling
through the 80s.

ON THIS DATE IN 1846: A powerful, slow-moving hurricane literally
reshaped the geography of the North Carolina Outer Banks. Intense
northeast winds pushed a tremendous storm surge over the Outer Banks.
As the storm moved inland, winds over the barrier islands turned to
the southwest, pushing the waters over the Outer Banks from the west.
Two new inlets carved out by the hurricane still exist today, Hatteras
Inlet and Oregon Inlet. Oregon Inlet is named for the Oregon, the
first ship to pass through the cut.
