Tropical Storm Edouard

Tue, 5 Aug 2008 05:54:00 GMT

First off, we have Tropical Storm Edouard situated in the northern central GOM. Ever since 91L became Edouard it has been a fairly ugly, ragged system. It developed, in case you need to be caught up, from a detatching frontal boundary. It then started to show signs of organization and then the NHC took quick notice to it and jumped on the bandwagon of further development.

So, this year I hope to be a bit more on key with having much frequent updates. If there is an off-season storm (or off-season threat) this year, I will keep you guys up to date on it. Other than that I will not update my blog everyday unnecessarily unless there is something developing or worth keeping an eye on in the tropics...
