Storm Tread aka Betty's Tread

Calling betty to fact check. Calling betty to fact check

 

Ha! Thanks Yankee. Made what was otherwise a very mediocre day tied up with awfulness, really perk up

Here is the latest from NHC:


1. A tropical wave located near the west coast of Africa is producing
disorganized cloudiness and thunderstorms. A low pressure area
is expected to form in association with the wave several hundred
miles west-southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands in a couple of days.

Environmental conditions are conducive for gradual development, and
a tropical depression could form by the weekend while the system
moves west-northwestward to northwestward toward the central
tropical Atlantic.

* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...20 percent
* Formation chance through 5 days...high...70 percent

Let's see how it does with the Saharan dust and the dry air. You might recall, a month ago or so I predicted that on Sept 14, a hurricane wold develop off coast of Florida and move off shore up the entire east coast bringing overhead waves. Even to Barry.

If it comes true, I will quit work and start betting on horses.

Here she comes, Betty. If you get the certificate warning from the website just proceed, its got something to do with it being an official Navy/Government website.

 

If someone ever hired betty to track the waves. Man they could pay you a lot

 

Dear SI Overlords,

You have a gold mine available. Hire Betty to do the extended FUcast, and then pay for her to follow the storm giving after action reports\interviews on the swell. Hire Frankie to travel in front of the storm's path and give people the proper instructions for dealing with their impending doom.

"Frankie and Betty's Top Shelf StormCast!"...

Ok that was lame, but I'm not a marketing guy. You'll have to figure that out on your own.

Betty could even interview actual SI members as they come in from catching the swell.

We can discuss my fees via PM....

 

I like it T Lo, make it happen Austin!

 

I would think that associating Betty with Frankie is a bit of an insult to Betty, isn't it??

 

I don't think he meant it that way

 

Betty is awesome, Frankie is awesome. Nuff said.

 

How 'bout? "Betty's Wild World of Incests"

No disrespect to you, Betty...i think your the bees knees!

 

I'm in!
Frankie is awesome! I could ride his coat tails to world wide domination of all things meteorological.

 

Wnner, winner chicken dinner

 

Is it O.K. to start the hype train.....choo-choo

 

I'll take anything after looking at the upcoming week's flatcast :/

I just want to ride my shortboartè

A tropical wave located just west of the Cabo Verde Islands is
accompanied by a large area of cloudiness and disorganized shower
activity. Significant development of this system is not expected
during the next couple of days. However, conditions could become
a little more favorable for gradual development, and a tropical
depression could form early next week while this system moves
westward and then west-northwestward into the central Atlantic.

* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent
* Formation chance through 5 days...medium...60 percent

 

Don't tell the authorities.

They'll close the ocean again.

Go Betty!
