Tropical Rains Today --- Tropical Storm Next Week? Models showing development in the Carib

Well...today the rains came in Miami. Yes, it has rained every day but not like this... was wild. On the way home I was talking with a friend about whether they would get in the pool or not this afternoon... don't think they made it. And, was thinking on those wild, old fashioned electrical storms of the years past.

A few hours later...wham, bam, thank you maam... the heavens let lose... flooding rain, electrical storm so strong I unplugged a TV.. and stood on my porch staring up at skies so dark it looked like it was night. A friend on Miami Beach facebooked me that she was getting the largest hail she had seen in a long time. Alton Road is flooded all along South Beach. Locally flooded streets here too.

Nice trof that shook up the atmosphere here. Course it does keep hurricanes away for a few days but then if it lingers, adds to the moisture anything forming in the Carib will ride the frontal boundary north won't it? That's way too simple an explanation but early June storms are much like October storms..they come up from the Caribbean.

The models are squawking storm formation next week. Something begins to form in the Carib south of Cuba and then moves slowly north... across Cuba, probably into the Bahamas but seeing as it hasn't formed it's hard to say for certain where it is going ..once it forms.

So...keep watching...and stay dry if you live in the South Florida area because we are getting one hell of a rainy season..which I personally believe leads us to an October Hurricane. Will see...

In the news of the weird on the local scene.. body parts keep floating up and making their way onshore. I saw one siting .. my brother a few hours saw the police staring at another. If you live on South Beach tonight.. you might want to stay out of the water... hate to think some body part could float up onto the Venetian Causeway and land in someone's backyard. Heard the Venetian was flooded... badly. When the waters recede... careful what you pick up if it's in a black, garbage bag.

So... you heard it here... possible Carib storm next week.. possible.

The storm today in Miami was the strongest I remember since a Tropical Storm was here most recently... wild storm. Crazy lightning... wild thunder...

As for me.. going off..here's some links and you might want to check out my friend's site..it's awesome, you want a degree in meteorology but can't afford the college tuition... learn everything there is to know about hurricanes and models and winds that go whoosh in the night and wake up your imagination and take you to places you might never go otherwise. Let Chris know I sent you and thank him for all the help he puts in at Hurricane City with the new Canetalk Message Board.
