Summer Time Heat Ridge. Distant Tropical Wave E ATL. Home Grown Trouble Down the Road in GOM CLOSE IN or E of FL?

3 Amigos over the USA

Look for storms to pop later today.

Nice wave off of Africa.

Really short post today. I suggest you read yesterday's blog as the thoughts expressed there are still valid. Today the name of the game over much of the USA is the HEAT GAME.  Hot weather aka Summer in all it's glory. I'm going to personally try and embrace SUMMER for now and waiting for the tropics to bubble more.

Heat Ridges can be kind of boring, exhausting and they suck all the air out of everything. They also provide awesome summer storms that pop up late in the day filling out skies with clouds climbing up high, turning dark and then letting go with bursts of rain, wind and often downed trees. They come out of nowhere like an old friend knocking at the door or the sounds of a fire truck racing down the street. Enjoy em. Live in AC or go to the beach or go out for ice cream in the evening when the sun goes down.  That's my best advice. If you hate the hot weather, leave town (you'll need to travel far) or use the AC and save money elsewhere. Drink water.

As for the tropics I suggest you turn your head far to the East to some incredible waves fighting their way West trying to stay together despite cool water and Saharan Dust. This last week in June feels more like late July weather wise and some of the waves are coming off way higher than they should for June. Impressive waves. Worth watching. You got nothing else to do if you like tropical weather. There is a possibility that the GOM will become active VERY close in somewhere between Nola and Houston. And, off the East Coast of Florida is the area that was spit out over the Outer Banks but did not form and did not travel up to the NE and lingering around blocked by the huge High to it's North it's wandering around close to shore drifting South. Also worth watching.

As for me going out today to get some exercise before the heat heats up and I hibernate the rest of the day before thinking on going out this evening. Awesome sunset last night in Raleigh. You don't get them often here like this and trust me it got way better but I wasn't in the right place to get a good shot. But beautiful all the same against the Carolina Pines.

I'll be back when there is something specific to say. Have a great day!
