Atlantic SPECIAL TROPICAL DISTURBANCE STATEMENT

National Hurricane Center ^ | 6/27/2006 | FORECASTER STEWART

[poobear]

This thing dumped 4 to 5 inches from Friday thru Sunday morning here in Central Florida before it began to move north easterly. It spun like a classic tropical depression all weekend long. Glad it came ashore before it strengthened. Hope our friends north of us are as lucky. Doesn't look good though.

Residents along the North Carolina coast should closely monitor the progress of this system today as tropical storm warnings could be required with little notice.

I don't have time for this!

Actually it's OK to go into NC. Granddaughter is here. :)

Screaming won't help, friend.

[Red Badger]

I watch the radar fron Mobile (Cox channel 717) constantly for anything looking like rain. Any time it gets close, it just dissappears when it gets to the OK County line.........

[technomage]

I'm headed right for Shell Island Resort Friday. Wouldn't you know...

Will be long gone by then.

[Lady Jag]

This looks bad. This low has been stuck here for months.

[Red Badger]

I had a tree fall yesterday, just for no reason.

Gravity doesn't work in your yard?..........

[Howlin]

I sure hope so. But will it come to Raleigh???

[Gabz]

I already feel like I'm living in a swamp.........I don't need anymore rain.

I shoulda planted rice.

[Gunflint]

That's because it's not hurricane season...yet.

Oh, I know the weather people call June 1st the start of hurricane season, but don't expect any until August 1st at the earliest.

It's comical how our Florida weather people break out the "cones of destuction" everytime clouds form off the west coast of Africa.

[Tax-chick]

Sounds like you'll never have ripe tomatoes.

[Gabz]

I know, I know.

but screaming is better than crying........

The center will be onshore within 2-4 hours, so there isn't much time for development here.

[Howlin]

Not as well as rot apparently. :-)

[ContemptofCourt]

Recon just found FL winds of 55knts....about 44Knts at the surface. Once they find the LLC, this is going to be Beryl (although short-lived).

[Dog Gone]

I thought this thread was going to be about the tropical wave in the Atlantic near South America. That one bears watching, too.

Thanks for the ping.

When I saw the notice I laughed.

My kid flew to NC yesterday to visit friends. The bad weather must have followed him up from Florida.

He's well inland though, so I don't think this will affect them.

[technomage]

Right now the disturbance is moving at a pretty good clip, around 20mph to the North-northeast. If it stays on that track, it should be well north and east by Friday.

[nwctwx]

Radar looks pretty good, I think there is probably a very small LLC forming.
