    Go Betty!

    Sure would be nice to get some tropical goodness over here. Swells a few blocks wide are a tasty treat.

    :p

    TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK
    NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL
    200 AM EDT SAT JUN 13 2015

    For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:

    1. Disorganized showers and thunderstorms extending from Central
    America northward across the northwestern Caribbean Sea are
    primarily associated with an upper-level trough. This activity is
    expected to spread into the southwestern Gulf of Mexico on Sunday.
    Upper-level winds are only marginal for tropical cyclone formation
    and development, if any, will be slow to occur while this system
    moves generally northwestward through the middle of next week.
    * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent
    * Formation chance through 5 days...low...20 percent

    For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:

    1. Showers and thunderstorms have increased across the northwestern
    Caribbean Sea and adjacent land areas in association with a trough
    of low pressure that has recently formed at the surface. This system
    is expected to move across the Yucatan peninsula later today and
    into the southwestern Gulf of Mexico by late tomorrow. Environmental
    conditions could support slow development of this system during the
    next few days while it moves generally northwestward.
    * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...20 percent
    * Formation chance through 5 days...low...30 percent

    It is moving northwestward. Do you all know what geography is???
    It is NOT going your way, but moving away from you......

    O Barry
    The models have it going to Texas for the most part.

    And there is this from FLHurricane.com:"
    The area in the northwest Caribbean sea is now being watched as 91L, it is forecast to move over the Yucatan Peninsula and emerge in the western Gulf. And has multiple model support

    Those along the coast in the northwestern Gulf, particularly mid to upper coastal Texas and western Louisiana should watch this system as it develops over the next several days. It will at least bring more rain to the areas (some of which really don't need it)."

    And now NHC has odds to 40% over next 48 hours, 50% over next several days.

    Let's hear it for the boys on the Gulf!

    idk, I might have taken the extra time and driven east to dauphin island, gulf shores or pensacola. Much less wind forecasted and cleaner water.

    We want details! Wave size? Interval? Clean? Choppy?

    Short period and choppy, but not as bad as I thought. We had several rain showers that came through and kinda cleaned it up a bit. Checked out Salt creeps sandbar and had a blast. The waves were probably chest to shoulder. We hit it for a good four hours. Some much needed water time! Looking forward to next week.

    NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL
    200 AM EDT SUN JUN 14 2015

    For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:

    1. An area of low pressure located over the Yucatan Peninsula and an
    upper-level trough are producing a large area of showers and
    thunderstorms and winds to near gale force over portions of the
    northwestern Caribbean Sea and the southeastern Gulf of Mexico.
    Some development of this system is possible after it moves over the
    southwestern Gulf of Mexico later today and across the northwestern
    Gulf of Mexico through Tuesday. Regardless of development, heavy
    rains should continue over portions of the Yucatan Peninsula today.
    An Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft is scheduled to
    investigate the low this afternoon, if necessary. Additional
    information on this system can be found in High Seas Forecasts
    issued by the National Weather Service.
    * Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...50 percent
    * Formation chance through 5 days...medium...60 percent
