Are you sure it's "Tammy"? Not "Tammy Sue", correct? Because if it was Tammy Sue, I don't think there would be any place you could run and hide. Many a trailer park has met their match when Tammy Sue comes to town...

I am still trying to process that the previous storm is "Stan." Somehow, that just doesn't seem like a proper name for a storm.

Outstanding!!

Maybe with the cold front coming from the NW and Tammy heading up the coast, we'll get a 2-3 day soaker in Virginia.

Good, just so the bitch doesn't go into the Gulf.

Well, I don't see any makeup on the storm, so it ain't Tammy Faye...

Where did SHE come from? I was just looking at the tropical weather outlook and there was nothing in it about this.

I just looked at this satellite link.

Somebody who knows weather, look at it for me and tell me what that big "blob" coming off the Yucatan is? Isn't that where Stan was (I must admit, I didn't pay much attention to Stan, LOL); the "blob" looks like it's headed back into the straits.

That's a band of thunderstorms associated with Stan's remnants. And yes, there was speculation among forecasters that some of the energy from Stan could go back out into the Gulf.

It could be worse; it could have been Stanislaw (or named after me :-)

Stay Alert, Dirt, cause that's just what I heard will happen. Tammy will cut across the Florida peninsula - they just don't know where - and emerge into the northern GOM. Could be dicey.

Thanks for the info. I'm in Tampa Bay area. This past TD didn't bother me because I figured not enough time over water to gain much strength.

A system coming off the Yucatan, across the Gulf headed toward the West Coast of Florida would definitely concern me because it has time to pick up strength.
