Here is the first mark on the NHC map. It will not develop, but its a good warm up exercise to start the season: "Disturbance 1: 0% Chance of Cyclone Formation in 48 Hours As of 8:00 am EDT Sun Jun 4 2017 ... A weak area of low pressure, associated with the remnants of eastern Pacific Tropical Storm Beatriz, is located over the southern Gulf of Mexico about 275 miles east of Tampico, Mexico. While some disorganized shower and thunderstorm activity has developed overnight, tropical cyclone formation is not expected due to strong upper-level winds. For additional information on this system, please see High Seas Forecasts issued by the National Weather Service. * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent. * Formation chance through 5 days...low...near 0 percent. Of course "near zero percent" brings to mind the Jim Carey quote on Dumb and Dumber, "so you're saying I got a chance!"
LOL Hey, I got a chance... I think this might be why we got over 2" of rain this morning. My street is flooded clean across. Can't see the curbs. Wasn't Archy's burrito after all.
Holy Fuk the pressures are dropping around the disturbance as we speak. Might have to up that %. Looks like a full on storm on the gfs by Tuesday or Wednesday on the last run. Keep the fingers crossed gilfsters!
Dude... We ain't met, but dude... Betty sure don't need me defendin her honor, but I'm obliged to do it anyhow. You should treat our resident weather gal with a mite more respect. I know she wouldn't ask me to say this, but that's why we love her. Take that talk to one of the other treads. Betty's weather discussions are sacred ground around these parts. And I'm from Texas. Galveston, Texas. IBC means "Islander By Choice" In Galveston, we got BOIs (Born on Island) and IBCs like me. Peace dude, but don't be disrespectin our Weather Lady round here.
Ah! The 8 pm NHC comment is up. "As of 8:00 pm EDT Sun Jun 4 2017 ... A weak area of low pressure, associated with the remnants of eastern Pacific Tropical Storm Beatriz, is located over the southwestern Gulf of Mexico about 250 miles east of Tampico, Mexico. Strongupper-level winds have displaced the associated cloudiness and showers well to the east of the center, and tropical cyclone formation is not expected. * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent. * Formation chance through 5 days...low...near 0 percent." And the guys at flhurricane.com talk about this remnant as pumping all this rain into Florida. Maybe it will dampen all the wildfires http://flhurricane.com/cyclone/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=97624&an=0&page=0#97624
Oh I see dude brah, I thought Betty was a shim. But we do need some Big oiled insertions to keep us warm for the mating season. Heres a toast to the waves this week in the Gilf.
No, you're likely thinking of wayne's pale buttockals. Betty Storm is one of the SI Fourume Legendes. Tread lightly.
I agree Betty rocks....but being a man of many tastes I like to check a bunch of sources to indulge my future wave fantasies.........I don't know if this has been posted before but this cat rocks... http://www.tropicaltidbits.com/
For the uniformed, or those with a 3 word vocabulary, and you know who you are... Betty is a fountain of stoke and goodness. Both her weather reports, and south Fla surfing stories remind us of what is good in this world. I'll warn ya though, she WILL regulate yer butt in a heartbeat. If you get regulated by Betty, it's over dude. I ain't gettin sweet on ya or nothin, Betty. Mr Betty is a lucky dude. And, "This ain't Junior High!" Peace y'all
Aw shucks fellas. This morning shows the little blip is gone. As was said, it was a nice indicator that the season has begun.
It's been rainin off and on here for 2 days now. Rainin again now. No more drought. Mom told me y'all are in one over in Fla. Looks like that's fixin ta end, or at least lessen, with all this rain headin your way.
