Thank God It's Friday - Shabbos - Still Watching Chris

Still a tropical storm and there may be much to watch over the weekend.

But, in my world .. it is the weekend and I have to stop on the way to work and pick up a few things for Shabbos. Challah, cake maybe, Chummus, Matbucha, and other things with strange names. I have a headache and am up at this ridiculous hour.

A thunderstorm hovered over my house without letting go and raining but loud enough to wake me. Watched the Tropical Update and checked the 5am.. (sort of like checking the pulse of still Tropical Storm Chris) and going to try and go back to bed. If I can. Otherwise.. will go to work real early and do a few things on the way.

Wish I could take a pain killer and go back to bed but I am not as yet independently wealthy.

Going to get going.
Will Chris get going?

This is the post from www.hurricanecity.com a little updated.

Have a good day whoever is reading this and thank you for your comments (those who are) and enjoy the weekend.. Good Shabbos.

May update later as time allows and conditions warrant.

Figured that was the big point here and worth noting.

I'm up at 5am because thunderstorms nearby woke me.

Nice ball of convection over night and he showed a lot of promise and then shear blew the storms away.

Too many models keeping him alive it seems for the NHC to pull the plug just yet.

Granted.. on sat it looks like a tropical depression and a weak one but... pays to keep people's guard up and it has potential down the line.

Yesterday my pressure was very high in Miami, has dropped noticeably over the last 24 hours. Maybe that's temporary or something to think about regarding improving conditions for Chris to develop up again close in.

If the shear were to lessen as quickly as it came on the storm could reform pretty fast as the showers last night in it's SE region tried hard before they were blown off.

What if the next batch is not as blown off?

Will see.. either way... salient point..

Chris is still a Tropical Storm.
