LOL. Let’s see how fast Walmart and Home Depot implement their special stocking programs. Actually, it is pretty impressive how they handle logistics for weather.
Still marginal VFR here in O’do, but it will get snotty pretty soon.
A small wobble and the Outer Banks are in play tomorrow.

It’s hard to get excited about a weak tropical storm with max 45 mph winds. We have thunderstorms here which are more dangerous. But this is the age of hype. Boom!
Tropical Storm Emily...
1. Named Emily at 0600 ET
2. Outside my back door
I saw the circulation on radar at midnight last night. Chuckled this morning at 0500. Another day in paradise.
My biggest concern is today is trash pick up day and we’ll have cans blowing all over the place. Don’t want to pick up the neighbor’s wet, soggy trash out of the drainage ditch. Nice drill opportunity for a pop-up storm, though.
they name everything these days. At this rate we will be in the Ws by September.
I would get excited and jump up and down. And bring on the thunder boomers with tops so high there is no sun.
Because it is getting dry in South Texas......
