Tropical Storm Tomas Rapidly De-Intensifies... Should Come Back Tomorrow

Been a quiet sort of messy day for Tropical Storm Tomas... Gray, foggy... you know those days when you just can't get your head together and wake up. Was that kind of day for Tomas.

In the world of Tropical Meteorology where predicting Rapid Intensification is the new Holy Grail we had a day of De-Intensification as a friend of mine called it earlier. Didn't exactly go poof but it definitely ended up a bit more to the South than planned and weakened dramatically.

Tonight it is a 45 mph storm on the way back and on it's way towards Haiti. America is sending an aircraft carrier down there to start with... nations are trying to be on stand by to help. Hoping he will go through the Windward Passage and pass on Haiti..that would be the biggest help of all.

So.. pray Tomas does not regain is bulk or intensity and moves rapidly on out to the ocean and out to sea.

Let's see tomorrow how Tomas is... enjoy this loop:
