Bahamas (Karen?) Atlantic (Melissa?) Are they dead or were they playing Possum?

Short post this morning while I sit here staring at the Tropics which are filled with remnant lows, upper level lows and wanna be subtropical lows and make some sense of it all. I'd say it was a Pollack painting except even they now are in question and yet I find two areas worth mentioning.

1) Bahamas Blob merges with remnants of Karen and dances the Tango
2) Down in the Atlantic 11/48 maybe? Melissa doing the Merengue

The Bahamas is really the spot to look as it has the most color and models take shots at developing it into a Tropical System could track across South Florida and into the Gulf where an upper level low currently sits trying desperately to get attention from anyone other than the NHC who feels compelled to discuss it in their TWO and may or may not send planes in. Yes that was a long sentence and I did end it with a preposition.
In my opinion... that area is being stirred up by the passions of the not so totally dead Karen. Like some homeopathic hurricane..she is there, stirring up trouble in the area of heavy convection we have been watching that is exploding today. Watch it on any loop. And... the models have been screaming for this for days but everyone has laughed them off. Jim Williams from Hurricane City has also and he is a voice to be listened to.. (yeah ending it there too...i have a degree in english, i can choose when to use it too! it's a blog, smile)

My eyes go east down to the Central Low Atlantic... down around 10 and 50 or so and wonder what that is. Is that Melissa? Or another wave? How did she get so low? Boy, I haven't been paying attention much while trying to bail out from the rain in Miami lately lol. Well, sometimes a watched pot takes forever to boil so it's easier to read up on other related things and then look again. I did. You look. Looks good to me. Has bones, structure, big pocket of moisture and what looks like banding. Not as colorful as the Bahamas but... still, compelling.

GOM: Rain. Might develop still, always worth watching something trapped in the Gulf for development as anything there that forms makes landfall somewhere unless it falls apart which is rare but happens.

See y'all later. Lot to do today, things to buy, things to cook, things to think on.. as always, Bobbi
ps...listen to the Water Story thing if you haven't.. it's worth listening to and processing it and appreciating the stewardship we have over Planet Earth and it's water not just it's earth.
