5PM Update on Karen and Tropical Systems

To start with close to home...

It's still raining but it's beginning to lighten up enough to think maybe we will be able to make kiddush in the sukkoth. Wine, challah...whatever, important if you are reading this and understand. Partial street flooding here and there. See picture a block from work on Collins Avenue.

Now.. quickly, as for Karen... IF Karen is affected by shear and stays weaker expect her to make it further west than everyone is expecting. At some point she will have a chance to go more to the north but already models are starting to bend back to the west at the end of five days so... we are a long way from knowing the end of the story, it hasn't been written so you can't peek.

Note this paragraph: However...if the shear continues to adversely impact
Karen's ability to maintain symmetric convection...then the cyclone
may be significantly weaker than predicted here.



As for the system over Florida known as 98... it's supposed to move off to the NE .. and one model, GFDL even has it looping back a bit. Stay tuned.

Steering currents are not very set as I have stated.. TD 13 keeps looping in the Gulf.

Enjoy all the Tropical Pandemonium and I'll be back at posting on Saturday night.

Having great food, various delicious dishes and lots of healthy vegetables.

Heart of Palm Salad, Bean Salad, Babaganush (eggplant)and Cole Slaw.. Salad.
Stuffed Peppers, chicken, turkey legs... chicken soup, vegetable dishes...
And... lots of fresh fruit. Mangoes and Strawberries, Blackberries and Pears.
Pick one..choose one... whatever people bring or I find at the store.

Nice holiday... change of the seasons, hurricane, football, fall in Florida and such and such and such... lol, giggling. I don't know why... just in a fairly good mood I suppose.

Everyone stay safe, enjoy life, love and laugh and be happy.
