No Fay Today.. Lots of convection in the Atantic & Carib

The state of the tropics today...

Quiet with areas of intense convection and nothing more.

Speaking of intense convection the South Florida area keeps getting hit daily with intense convection. This is not really the actual rainy season, although to be fair anytime you live in Miami you can get rained on ...



The name Fay seems to be a great name to scare away any real tropical development as it's been around a long time.  I typed Fran the other day by accident... I was staring at an satellite image of Fran on a poster on my office wall. There's been some talk on Fran of late in NC as it was a year like this in that the rainfall levels had been high in Raleigh. Same as this year, however this year no storms want to form and gain the name Fay it seems.

The area in the Atlantic with the yellow X today is due to go North ...or just East of North before going out to sea and all the way to Europe.

Putting this all in motion we see an interesting area of convection in the Caribbean. It's only interesting in that this time of year that region is ripe for development when a front makes it past Cuba and the Florida Straits and dies out. It is that type of year, however it's also the type of year when things refuse to twist and shout . . .



Mind you things spin plenty... just not in the tropics. Look at the Low over the Plains..



I'm sure there will be a lot of spin on the hearings today that showed America how lax things have been with regard to securing the perimeter of the White House.

But, not much spin in the tropics.

Keep watching..
