...Showers In Our Future...

While Ike did not have a true direct impact on Central Alabama, it is
affecting the weather across the state this afternoon. It is
producing breezy conditions and propelling a front our way that will
produce showers and storms through Monday morning.

CHECKING ON IKE: The remnant low formerly known as Ike was moving into
southern Illinois early this afternoon. It will continue to zip
northeast, getting absorbed by a frontal system, setting up the
potential for a heavy ran event through the Great Lakes states. Ike
produced 3 or 4 tornadoes yesterday across Arkansas. Isolated
tornadoes are possible today from western New York back down into
Tennessee.

ALABAMA WEATHER: Skies dawned mostly gray across Alabama on this
Sunday morning. Winds were brisk, out of the south and southeast
averaging 10-20 mph. A few higher gusts will occur through the day
thanks to the pressure difference between Ike to the northwest and the
subtropical high to our southwest. A cool front extended
southwestward out of tropical depression Ike. It will move into
northwestern Alabama late this afternoon. Ahead of it, a line of
showers and storms was progressing southeastward. These showers and
storms will overspread the area, slowing as the front loses momentum.
A wave of low pressure will ripple northeastward along the front,
keeping shower chances high through the morning hours on Monday. As
it zips by, the front should go ahead and clear the area by Monday
evening. Drier air will filter into Alabama behind the front, giving
us really pleasant weather for much of the week ahead.

WEEKEND SNEAK PEEK: By Friday, high pressure will set up near the
Chesapeake Bay giving us a flow of moist air from the east. This will
combine with a trough to our west to increase rain caches for the
weekend.

TROPICS: The area of disturbed weather about 900 miles east of the
Leeward Antilles is still disorganized because of unfavorable upper
levels winds. Those winds may become more
favorable for development in the week ahead.

RECORD BIN: 6.58 inches of rain fell in South Bend, Indiana
yesterday, much of it during the second half of the Notre Came-
Michigan game. The steady rain led to four second half Michigan
turnovers and helped power the Irish to 35-17 victory. It also was an
all-time daily rainfall record for the station. The 6.63 inches of
rain that fell at Chicago's O'Hare Airport is also an all time record
rainfall for a calendar day there. Extensive flooding resulted in
Chicagoland. Closer to home, Huntsville's low temperature on
Saturday was 73F, establishing a record warm low for the date.

ON THIS DATE IN 1841: Before the summer of 1841, the port of St.
Joseph was a bustling town. But during that summer, yellow fever
ravaged West Florida and the town's population dropped from 4000 to
less than 500. A hurricane on this date destroyed much of what was
left of the town. The town ceased to exist. For years afterwards,
circuit preachers portrayed St. Joseph as a wicked place that had been
destroyed by God's wrath because of its sinfulness.
