Hurricane Cristobal.

That explosive area of convection turning red and green is Hurricane Cristobal.

Very nice. Still not a perfect storm, but he finally pulled it together.  Waiting to see him moving...

Just a very beautiful thing to watch a system finally... pull together and fulfil it's potential.

Might not look like a hurricane...but it is one. Give it a day or so and possibly he will look more photogenic.

Surfs up near the water and surf will be more up as it intensifies. Rip currents.

Bermuda may be in play, there are some watches in case..

Watch as it reaches down and around and scoops up Cristobal and lifts him up...



There are whispers of storms waiting in the wings... but for now...tonight... I think we should just watch the 2nd hurricane of the season spin in the Atlantic.

And.... look at 2014 as a whole so far... a work in progress.

This is a dangerous pattern that is evolving because it only takes that one storm to trace the high a bit too far to the West and tangle with Florida... or some other state along the US coastline. With this sort of pattern it's getting more likely that Florida will lose it's statistics of how long it has been since a land falling hurricane.

And......again the hurricane formed close in near the coastline vs out in the ocean.

Something to think on tonight... 

..windows open this evening up this way 

Feels like fall... feels like the start of the real Hurricane Season.

Sweet tropical dreams...
