Tropics Quiet This Weekend. In Football the Hurricanes Won Big Time... but in Meteorology it's Quiet! What's Next??

 

Yes X Paulette comes back often it seems. 0%

It's easy to write a very short blog today and so I'll do the cliff notes version below and then if you wish you can read the whole blog.

Okay, nothing really happening. Ignore the ghost of X Paulette. Cold front picking up GOM moisture. Have a very good day! Oh and the Hurricanes won big last night, some egos were busted by the losing team but they will learn and life will go on but hey... Hurricanes at UM having a big year it seems just as they are in the Atlantic Basin!

Basin on Sunday 9/27/2020 - Zero Hurricanes.

Above we see convection in the GOM.

An old wave westbound.

Cold front at the top of the image.

Really this is the way things work in late September when football finally appears on air and you root for your favorite team to win and if you are lucky ...they win really big. Cold fronts are the main driver of tropical activity now as the Atlantic High begins to hand off the last of the tropical waves moving off of Africa that either try and wrap then dissolve or try to slide into the Caribbean under the radar and any front that lingers too long in warm tropical waters could spin up into something tropical.

It's a lot like football. You turn the game on and there is this timeless ballet of action moving back and forth across the field as yout team gets the ball, then the other team gets the ball and then your team gets it again. Sometimes you score big as some of those waves became Major Hurricanes and it seems at times like the winning team is just running up the score and other times it's scoreless for way too long. Sometimes one team hogs all the time of possession and that basically is what Paulette and Teddy did and they did succeed in shutting down the offensive line of Tropical Waves moving Westbound in September and even though the media played up the game big ... Teddy and Paulette stole the show, interecepted the ball and slowly paraded North waiting to do a victory dance in the end zone.  Paulette by the way keeps getting up even though the whistle was blown already twice.. I'm not even sure if that's allowed as the rules seem to have been thrown out in 2020 in all ways so the NHC has a small yellow painted magical football out near the Azores and they are ignoring the convection in the Gulf of Mexico which in truth is no match for the strong diving Cold Front. 

But on "Any Given Sunday" ... as the saying goes something, somewhere forms this time of year. It may be from a wave that managed to evade shear and cooler water or it may be in the Caribbean as convection begins to congregate there and pressures begin to lower or it could be out in the middle of the Atlantic somewhere where eels and currents collide and a named storm appears.

Time will tell. I'll be offline from Sunday evening until Monday evening for Yom Kippur, the day that Sandy Koufax didn't play in the World Series and that led up to his final game and eventual win and he won a MVP award and went down in Jewish History for elevating everyone's conciousness I suppose that Yom Kippur exists and you don't have to be the most traditional or religous Jewish person for it to resonate and matter.  So wishing y'all a good, healthy, HAPPY life this year on the Hebrew Calendar and may you enjoy the weather you love most always!

If anything pops up before tonight I'll update... but I have a lot to do today so that's it. And, yes I can switch sports in real time and I know life is bigger than football and I'll always remember where I was when the Red Sox won the World Series and where I was when the planes flew low over our heads above us as were talking by the bay and they were on their way to some championship game at Joe Robbie Stadium that we didn't care about and yes amazingly I even forgot there was a game and thougtht we were under attack post 911 I suppose but my friend remembered it's just a football game. (Golden memories from the vault in my head) Are planes doing flyovers at sporting events during Covid or do they just play the sound the way they do people cheering? Ain't 2020 grand?

Much love,

Ps...trying to see if this worked and it posts the youtube video I made earlier on the tropics. New phones, updated Apps and changes across the board for Facebook Twitter and Blogger. May the changes this coming year only be good ones for you! Playing with a new phone and a new format but it's still the same rock and roll to me :)  Rock on... be happy!
