Southern Rain from the GOM & NHC Yellow X in Atlantic

I'm watching football and staring at the water vapor loop of the Atlantic. Okay, to be fair I'm more listening to the game then watching.



The system is clearly visible at the top middle of the loop above. Twisting, turning, folding in on itself and oddly leaving a little wispy S design on the visible imagery at the top of today's post.

I'm sure you are wondering where it's going.

North.

And, since it's going North I'm going to show the Canadian IR imagery as it's beautiful. Their model may have some problems, but their satellite imagery is always stunning.

Isn't that pretty?

Okay so you are now wondering what's going on in the Gulf of Mexico.

Well, to be honest, people have been wondering on that for the last several days.

Many have predicted some sort of development.

The NHC does not have it highlighted, however NOAA does have it in purple as a ...

...potential area of development.

I'll tell you what is going to develop... 

RAIN....

Yup.... it's gonna be Southern Rain...

blessings sent from heaven... 

Well... that's true. Rain is considered a blessing in many cultures. Helps make the crops grow. It clears out the air and washes away the pollution in the air...

Time will tell if anything spins and tries to form into a tropical entity. But, with a name.. without a name.. by any name it's gonna be a whole lot of Southern Rain.

Cute how the NOAA symbol looks like a hurricane over Cuba..

As close as we seem to be getting this year...

Another beautiful satellite image from the Canadian Weather Centre is below

(that's not a typo.. it's how they spell it)

You can see the congestion down there in the GOM... 

I've been busy the last few days with the Jewish High Holidays.

Rosh Hashanah is considered the "birthday of the world"

And, what a beautiful world it is... 

I'll be back to discuss what might be forming in the Tropical Atlantic.

Wishing everyone a very healthy, happy and sweet New Year...

(Well it's new on the Jewish Calendar so... be Jewish for a day and go eat an apple with some honey)

L'Chaim... 

That's Cheers in Hebrew...

Ps... always watch the tail end of of cold fronts in September & October...
