Tropical Storm Barry!
NHC/NOAA ^ | 07/11/2019 | NHC/NOAA

Posted on 07/11/2019 8:20:54 AM PDT by NautiNurse

Tropical storm Barry has finally earned its name. The storm is drifting W in the central Gulf of Mexico. The tropical system is somewhat unusual because the low pressure system was originally over Georgia before drifting into the GOM.

The New Orleans area has been inundated with heavy rain with flooding over the past several days, unrelated to the current tropical storm.

Back at work, huh? Hope you, and us, have a slow year, as far as hurricanes are concerned!

Hmmmm.

I have a family reunion in Kentucky next week.

It's a week long affair (Saturday to Saturday) but I'm not arriving till Wednesday.

We'll take I-65 straight up, I'm riding with my younger brother who just moved here from Texas.

We should be wet but okay in Kentucky, eh?

Sounds like a fun trip/adventure with your brother! Agree you’ll likely have rain along the way. Hopefully cleared out of KY by Wed. Right now the majority of convection is east of the system. As we well know, the storm field will expand at landfall.

Goodness... that time of year again...

Thanks for doing all that you do, and here’s to hoping that you won’t have much to do this season!!

I agree with blam. The weather channels and forecasters need to hype all these storms so they will get viewers and higher ratings. If this develops into a hurricane, it will blow out and fall apart within a few miles of landfall.

I need to come over to your pool. I’ve been trying to get my hubby to build one but so far he has put me off with excuses.

You can always buy one of those Intex pools at Walmart. LOL We had one of those for a couple of years. 16’x 42”. I built a 20’x 20’ x 8” sandbox out of landscape timbers and had a couple truckloads of sand dumped in it. Artificial beach. Once we got it leveled over the ground tarp, we put in the pool, three add-on drink/accessory trays, and a half clamshell Bimini top on it. They don’t last forever. When that house got gutted by lightning, we left it behind when we sold the property, and we bought this one, complete with a walled-in courtyard and a 32’x 16’ in-ground pool. Let me tell you, an in-ground pool is an expensive pain in the tuckus to maintain. Pump, filter, remote bottom vacuum, and a tanker full of various chemicals. Then there’s the fun of winterizing it and starting it back up in the spring. But this one had an amenity that sold me on it: a 10’ date palm planted in-ground beside the concrete pool pad, inside the fence. I told the wife, OK, I’m sold. LOL I think we spent about $3K on a new liner, pump, and various plumbing upgrades just to use it the first year. I’ve told the wife more than once that I was going to go out with the shotgun and put holes in the sand filter if we gotta do one more thing to it. ROTFLMAO But once you get in it, you never want to get out. We added a fountain to one of the re-circulation outlets, and I can float there all day under it. Add the right tropical plants, close your eyes, and you’re on some island in the south Pacific.

Yeah, I happened to drive through McClure, IL & the nearby area* a couple weeks ago, and while most of the water coming down the Mississippi River has been contained, the River has been at flood stage for so long** that "seep water"*** plus local heavy rains have accumulated behind the levees, causing huge problems.

*I knew IL 3 was closed, but hoped to "cut across" on local roads supposedly still open. No dice: Had to backtrack to "escape".

**Several gauges have been over flood stage over 100 days, and Cairo was over 150 days, a couple(?) days ago, just obliterating the old record of (IIRC) 93 days.

***This "seep" floodwater is quite interesting. In some protected areas that evidently had not seen recent, very heavy rain, the "seep water" had a foot or more of clarity -- maybe 2 ft. at best in a couple spots. Much of it was not the muddy gunk one usually thinks of as flood water.

In any event, the water is now slowly receding, but that NHC track center goes right through that area. Given how spread out "Barry" will likely be at that time, and how moisture laden the atmosphere may be, those poor folks better hope NHC has made a major error...!
