Two weeks before the official start of Hurricane Season, an area of disturbed weather has developed in the Caribbean. Potential for heavy rain in Florida exists over the next several days.
Statement as of 3:40 PM EDT on May 18, 2009
For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico...
Satellite imagery and surface observations indicate that an area of disturbed weather has formed over eastern Cuba...the southeastern Bahamas...and the adjacent waters. Slow development of this system is possible during the next day or two as it moves generally northward at 10 to 15 mph. An Air Force Reserve hurricane hunter aircraft will investigate the system on Tuesday...if necessary. There is a low chance...less than 30 percent...of this system becoming a tropical cyclone during the next 48 hours.

Congratulations?
Can we make that three? I have not totally recovered from IKE yet.
Sigh...............
According to a friend, we can expect up to four inches of it and a tropical depression, mebbe. But it won’t be as much fun without Karl Rove and the Campaign/Weather controller. :)
Brevard County, Florida ping.For crying out loud, it’s gonna be in the low 40’s tonight in the deep south, and we’ve got an early tropical thing blowing in?? I guess the next thing you’ll tell me is that some ne’er-do-well illegal alien is the President of the United States!
Thank you dear NN! Just got back from our missions meeting, and I didn’t even know all this was going on....

Guarantee you that Fred is gonna be a bad one.
And Fred will hit the Carolinas the first week of September taking out one of the Barrior Islands and causing inland flooding over a wide area.
Indeed, several of the “F” storms have a history of flooding (e.g. Floyd, Frances, Fay).
And I’m originally from the coast of NC (Morehead City area). Fred will hit there, move up the coast and slam Norfolk (where I live now).
Alas, there is no Sanitary Market in Norfolk
It was 35 here..... frosts in the mountains on the TN/NC border
Great! Surf contest in VA Beach this weekend and Cape Hatteras will be going off!
Nothing like a SE swell and NE winds at Frisco!
For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico...
Satellite images and surface observations indicate that the weak area of low pressure located near the central Bahamas is becoming absorbed by a larger non-tropical low centered over Florida. Development of this system now appears unlikely...and the Air Force Reserve hurricane hunter aircraft mission scheduled for today has been canceled. In addition...little development of the non-tropical low over Florida is expected as it moves westward into the Gulf of Mexico at 10 mph over the next day or two. There is a low chance...less than 30 percent...of tropical cyclone development in this area during the next 48 hours. This will be the last special tropical weather outlook issued for this system.

I just moved to southwest FL. Y’all can bank on a storm coming to the Bay area now. I’m a magnet.
Yes, that’s true, but we do have Chick’s Oyster Bar in Virginia Beach, where I go to get their Marina platter, steamed oysters, clams, mussels, shrimp and crab legs. 1/2 of a marina feeds me, the wife and our 8 year old daughter, who eats the shellfish as fast as me.
Dang global warming.
All that wind from the north blew the baby bell peppers off my pepper plants and also blew the plants flat with the ground.
June 1st is right around the corner! It has been so windy and rainy the last couple of days with below normal temps, I’m beginning to wonder if we are heading for another ice age.
Please do something about the cold weather. It was 54 yesterday and 63 today along with being terribly windy.
