Was out walking the dog at 5AM when I saw the lightning to the west. It looked tropical. Lo and behold, I was staring at TD4.

[SE Mom]

Good grief- where in the heck did THAT come from? Just a little pop-up?

[NautiNurse]

New thread to include sneaky TD4 which is ~90 miles off the coast of Tampa Bay this morning.

Hey NN,
First thing I noticed this AM was the weird color of the sky, didn’t know there was a weather system till I logged on. Interesting.

[M. Espinola]

This hurricane season for the Atlantic seems to be beginning normally in mid-August. One tropical storm after the other, which will almost certainly develop into hurricanes on route to Hurricane Ally.

[blues_guitarist]

Definitely a weather system out there!

I'm in Largo . . . where you at?

[Bringbackthedraft]

Its been 5 quiet years since Charlie by us, but we’re ready for the next one. FEMA still had trailers occupied here in the beginning of the year from when we were hit 5 yrs ago.

Ana heading to the gulf. Wonder when gas prices will start climbing?

[lexington minuteman 1775]

Well the weather guy on the FOX channel said Bill might not even hit the US...that is good news. But its’ way way out there. I guess the quiet season has come to an end for us who live in Florida.I am off to buy Maalox...lol.
And last night at 11 o’clock news you could see some rotation in radar loop forming in that one that is now off Tampa.So panhanle, get ready to get wet!

Geez, woke up Friday morning & there were no tropical systems, now there are FOUR according to wunderground!

[Rebelbase]

Thanks for the ping. Looks like the African conveyor belt has finally sputtered to a start this season.

[eastforker]

Now we have invest 91 in the GOM also???Looks like a busy week!

[jch10]

The clouds were moving in the wrong direction when I was out early, NN....a sure sign that a storm is on the way. We don’t expect anything but rain though, later this afternoon.

Stay safe, Floridians.

During Hurricane season, I check the Crown Weather discussion every morning.

TD4 actually started spinning up onshore last nite, and wound itself up when it blew out to the gulf...thisn's more indicative of the 'comma shape' than Tallahassee: Tampa radar TD4

[blam]

Hi NN,

Fortunately, I got the huge tree (leaning over my house) that has been worrying me cut. Now I have to hurry and burn the huge pile of limbs and wood from that tree before TD or hurricane winds blow it about.

[Wolf-Lake]

Hoping for the best down here in Bay St. Louis, MS Gulf Coast...

This is the time of year when all plans are written in 'pencil'.

Updated title to reflect upgrade of TD 4 to TS Claudette (sustained winds of 50mph) and TS warnings along the FLA panhandle.

Brevard County, Florida ping.

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

First ping of the 2009 hurricane season. I won't ping out tropical threads unless the circumstances make it imperative. To really keep informed, sign up for NautiNurse's list.
