yall see this?http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1444987/posts Can you think of a better time to cross? I hope the border patrol brings in help.
I couldn't quite figure out a building high, as opposed to an existing high, could exert enough influence to take us completely out of the woods. Still remains to be seen.
Who's gonna put her on Ebay?
Thanks! So the distance between each horizontal degree of latitude is always the same - 69miles or 111km - but the distance between each vertical degree of longitude decreases the further from the equator you get. Right?
Ouch. At least she's looking ragged again just now.

Just make this entirely a Mexican storm, and I'll buy you a cup of coffee when we meet.
Deal.
Cloud tops are super cold right near the center, they keep firing away. Kind of odd...
hmm, but pressure keeps going up..

You are probably tired of hearing this but "what does that mean"?
Yes, each degree of latitude is 60 nautical miles, (exactly, on a Mercator projection), one minute of latitude is one nautical mile. Longitude is the same only on the equator, but decreases to 0 at the poles, 90 degrees north or south. That's why you always measure distance with the lat lines. 360 degrees to round the globe.
hehe
The more they explain this stuff to us, the more we will be able to help answer questions when the next one comes around, right?
So if you look at it that way, we are doing them a big favor. :-)

Emily sure seems to have a mind of her own. Very strange.

(accept the certificates, they are safe)
The water she is sitting over is about 90F, so it is likely why the clouds are exploding... if she stays over the water for long enough, she is very likely to strengthen a bit. We saw something fairly similar with Dennis near Cuba, and Charley near FL.
Vacationing and asking for directions to SPI? :')
The place to be there would be on the Port Aransas Jetty but these occurences with storm tides dissipate as quickly as they arrive. You could have a window of today through Tuesday morning to catch the tide spawn. After that it back to the summer pattern of heat and little activity. The Port Aransas Jetty can be very amazing with redfish spawns as well. I've been there when you could see the water turn reddish bronze with bulls. Throw large silver and green striped spoons (1 oz or larger) on the channel side and just let it drift. They will pick it up on the drift. You usually have to make these lures from plain silver spoons and some green and/or red decal backing they sell at tackle shops. Good luck.
There appears to be a bit of an upper level low in the GOM trying to shear her a bit... not sure why it's having so much difficulty though, the shear is relatively weak (but it is fanning out right over top of the system).
