Enjoy the Weekend. NHC Watching 2 Areas with Low Yellow Chances. It's Just a Matter of Time Before Something Forms... Til Then... Enjoy the Weekend. Check Back Monday ;)




The NHC Main Page is sort of a Maze ...
...an interactive game we play.
From June 1st to November 30th.


Area in the Yucatan down low on probabilities.
Never believed in the westbound system myself.
As I've said I'm watching for Mid October myself.
Generally if something is going to happen...
....that's the watch time frame.

As always late in the season we have Mid Atlantic Systems.

But when you click on the main screen for Day 2.
You get this satellite imagery below.
That tells the real story.


And addendum to that is my video below.
Lots to look at as it's not cloudless.
But nothing impending about to come together.


Dabuh God Bless Him is always watching.
And he knows, he's wise.
Meteorologists are great with hard to earn degrees.
But unless they know the water and the clouds...
...and the can smell the weather.
It's all academics.


One of my friends at the NHC for years....
...takes awesome photographs of clouds and storms.
He studies them on the computer and out his window.
Bill Gray flew into huge thunderstorms....
...studying them, doing research.
Others like Wes below love to share images.


And what I'll say about that comment is this.....
....no the sun wasn't "kind" to us in Raleigh yesterday.
But it's a last kiss... 
a fair ye well as we move towards Fall.

I went out to watch the sunset last night too.


It was warm, beautiful.
And the sky was Fall Colors.

Like the little yellow leaves dropping in the Carolinas.
So to does the NHC drop yellow circles on the map.
And some have potential to go orange....
...maybe even red like a sugar maple.

Hurricane Season is really a Fall Sport....
...as that's when things ramp up and slide down.

I'll be honest.
Models do show things out in the Atlantic.
Maybe a wave off of Africa.
That SW Caribbean bugaboo.
But nothing to worry or think on this weekend.


A large area of convection remains anchored in place.
A drop of color by the Yuctan reminds us to watch.
Further East we have a wave train.
A low riding wave train.
One of those wave can get into the SW Carib....
...and the light the spark.
You know that song....
Come on baby light my fire?


And a little ghost in the Caribbean goes BOO!


So debating what song to sing.

October is about waiting....
Waiting for fall to really begin.
Waiting for your football team to win.
Waiting for the World Series.
Waiting for Halloween.
Waiting for snow season.
And the list of waiting goes on.

Stop and take a minute to wonder....
..and watch the world go by and enjoy it's beauty.
My daughter landed in Asheville NC this morning.
She took a pic from the plane and said...
"I love it here and I haven't left the airport!"
Funny I know that feeling.

So take a mental picture.
Breathe.
Exhale.
Enjoy.
Have a beautiful weekend.

Let's think on next week ... next week.
It's that time of year we wait and watch...
...and things begin to change.

Yes it was 100 degrees in Raleigh yesterday...
...but it's going to turn cooler.
It's just a matter of time.
