Sunshine returns for weekend

A persistent upper level low continues to spin over Quebec today with cloudy skies and afternoon showers possible. Some sunshine yesterday allowed the air to become quite unstable, and some of the showers has some bite to them, with even a rumble or two of thunder. The system will finally shift east tomorrow with sunshine developing and lasting into Saturday. Another round of showers is possible Sunday into early next week.

HERMINE
The remains of Tropical Storm Hermine continue to produce severe weather over Texas, Oklahoma and the southern plains. Heavy rain produced major flooding in Texas with two deaths reported. The severe weather was not limited to flooding, tornadoes were reported in Texas including a supper hour storm in the Dallas metroplex. The storm caused considerable damage to property, but no injures were reported.

IGOR
Tropical Storm Igor developed as expected yesterday just south of the Cape Verde Islands. The storm is drifting north at 2 mph and is poorly organized at this time. Conditions are expected to become more favorable for strengthening by Friday and Igor could become a hurricane early next week.
