Tropical Storm Fay is gaining strength!

Mon, 18 Aug 2008 04:36:00 GMT

Tropical Storm Fay may be at 50 mph, but looking at the last few frames of the IR, it seems to be blowing up convection and looking a bit, "hurricaneish" to me. I still am looking for winds to be up at 65 mph. by the next advisory which is at 2:00 a.m., then 75 mph. by 5 a.m. before hitting Cuba. Cuba is likely to not tear it apart like it did with Ernesto (2006). Ernesto traveled a good length of Cuba while Fay will only travel a couple of miles to the north. It ap...

A 2004-2005 pattern setting up, NOT GOOD FOR FLORIDA!!

Wed, 13 Aug 2008 23:29:00 GMT

2008 is shaping up to be a dangerous year for Florida. 92L is starting to pose a bigger threat to the state as it is finally starting to organize with convection around the low. Hurricane Hunters are expected to fly into it tomorrow and by that time, a TD is possible. I had hopes that it would be a TD this morning due to the structure appearance last night. Normally when there is good structure, DMAX will blow the storm up like a balloon. Invest 92L (picture says 93...

Mon, 21 Jul 2008 19:57:00 GMT

A quick update on Cristobal, winds at 65 mph moving northeastwards out to sea. It is expected to take a nose dive south back into teh Atlantic, but redevelopment is not expected as of now.Tropical Storm DollyDolly remains a moderate Tropical Storm this afternoon with winds of 50 mph. The track continues to slowly nudge northwards and a Southern Texas landfall is now more likely then a Mexico landfall. It wouldn't surprise me if Central Texas could turn out to be a p...

Hellooo Dolly!

Sun, 20 Jul 2008 18:08:00 GMT

Cristobal looks to be encountering lots of dry air and the center is exposed as of now. It should continue to move northeast and out to sea, might scrape Cape Cod. Tropical Storm DollyWell after days of searching the Hurricane Hunters have finally found a closed low and Dolly was born this morning! Dollys track should remain south of the northern and central Gulf Coast states but Texas is of interest. I really don't have the time to explain everything but when you h...

Tropical Depression 3 forms, not from 94L

Sat, 19 Jul 2008 03:30:00 GMT

Tropical Depression 3 has formed just east of the Coast of Georgia with winds of 30 mph, moving to the northeast. The systems track is mostly a no brainer as the storm will act most likely as Alex (2004) and pull out to sea after striking the Carolinas. Will it become a Hurricane? If Alex did it, it's a fair chance that TD3 might do the same but right now I'm staying on the convervative side until I see more stuff. However I just got a nice lightning storm from TD3 ...
