Oh joy! Just in time for the Memorial Day long weekend.

Thanks for the ping NN.

[jslade]

Troubled to hear from you so early NN. (Keeping fingers crossed)

[Nick Danger]

Obama’s fault.

[brytlea]

We do need the rain.

[WorkerbeeCitizen]

Don’t take this personally NN but I’m not ready for these posts yet.

Going to be a VERY slow ‘cane season through 24 July, in GOM at least. Water temps won’t support any sort of thermal accumulation. You might see some decent rains, though.

[oldvike]

Good. South Florida is in a huge drought and could use a bunch of rain.

Hey NN,

Thanks for the ping.

Well the rain the last couple of days has sure been welcome. Some of the water hazards on the course had gone to muck puddles. Actually water in them again, so bring on the rain, just leave the wind behind.

Exactly what is a NautiNurse and what is the specialty? My mind is wondering at this. I figure a nurse at sea or.... never mind!!!

[Cailleach]

May they all go just _____ of us. :) Happy season everyone!

Brevard County, Florida ping.

In case you aren't on NautiNurse's Hurricane List. I'll not issue future Brevard pings for weather unless we're in the forecast past, but figured the first tropical feature deserved one.

Let me know if you want on or off the Brevard ping list.

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!

[LadyPilgrim]

Thank you dear NN! Just got back from our missions meeting, and I didn’t even know all this was going on....

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!

Statement as of 8:30 am EDT on May 19, 2009

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.
