Memos from a Messy Tropical Mind on a Rainy Sunday

I have to admit..my first thoughts this morning were NOT about the Invest or Nadine. My first thought was, "what is that sound?" and the slow realization that it was raining, heavy, steady rain falling down on the tablecloth I left out on the deck... as it was not supposed to rain until this evening.

Oh well... another busted forecast.

Happens.

One good example of why we talk online, exchange thoughts on Facebook and Twitter and why I had 100,000 hits back during the height of Leslie. Forecasts often get busted or change quickly and it's always good to stay on top of the weather...before the weather is on top of you.

Really not a lot to post this morning as not much has changed. The Invest looks there but weak and is holding steady at 20% with a yellow circle.

Another look at the visible that shows us a very healthy Nadine exiting the scene and the weak Invest down near the islands...about to enter the Caribbean Sea...

So....what do people say around the Web... 

Mike at www.spaghettimodels.com is doing the Invest... and there is some really fantastic, great, interesting, unique, well informed discussion on his Facebook page... seriously... join and take part..

Mike, by the way, has changed his profile picture to "Oscar" very very cute...

Jim Williams has a great video up on www.hurricanecity.com 

which knowing Jim the way I know Jim... 

 

he has put a lot of work into

and it's worth watching

a highlight is his discussion of the Western Carib later in the week

of course.........it does sound like Jim thinks it will stay weak 

and go into Central America.. much like Ernesto did..

my fortune cookie of the day is that i may say... Jim may be right about that.. especially if its weak

www.flhurricane.com has a cute feature called "Hype Scale" 

It's currently low.. 

if and when Florida gets in it's model range it will and does go up fast

then again... it's FLhurricane ;)

My life... that and am waiting to see how badly the Miami Dolphins will get beat this afternoon...

Cooking for the Jewish High Holidays... which means lots of sweet things... Apple Cake, Upside Down Apple Cake, Spice Honey Cake, Brisket, Fish, Chicken Soup, side dishes... later this week I am making Sweet Tea Chicken and Black Eye Peas Salad with Sweet Tea Rice and Sweet Potato Pie with Turkey.

Watching the rain fall, watching football, watching satellite loops and watching the news.

That's me in a nutshell...throw in some dance exercise and you have me in a nut shell.

Oh...and I'll be online a lot... watching the Invest and talking with friends on it...

Stay tuned to my messy meteorological mind which is flavored with football and rain on a Sunday Afternoon..

Besos Bobbi

Ps...we are ALL watching the Invest and Football...
