1 Month to 2023 Hurricane Season - Rainy Day in the Carolinas, Storms Over Florida. Cold Fronts Still Moving Past Cuba... Year of Hail and Unexpected Weather. What Will Hurricane Season Bring???

That's a beautiful system.

Caused lots of weather drama.

Huge, sprawling system.

Reaches beyond Cuba....

..into the Caribbean.

Below you see another version.

This is what Dabuh was showing this morning.

In his always artistic and musical way.

There are things you see that once you see you can't unsee. Sometimes we look at the satellite loops and they speak to us in unique ways. 

Mike aka Spaghetti Models has this on the page.

Hidden there... "Bobbi's Loop" I think

No it's not the man in the moon.

It's Planet Earth.

Songs come to mind...

Twins. 

Spinning in tandem.

The atmosphere is always awesome!

A good water vapor loop is better than a crystal ball! And, when you can turn the world around and watch how it all connects, moves in tandem with other atmospheric currents it's as if there is this huge ballet going on while you sleep. Lows go towards Lows, they gang up together and they try and stay away from Highs that try and block anything headed their way. We are month away from the start of the 2023 Hurricane Season. 

So many questions.

El Nino? What kind of El Nino?

Where does shear set up in the Caribbean from the impending El Nino?

Warm water in the distant Atlantic out by Africa. 

How much Saharan Dust will there be?

 

If you zoom in you'll see it's May 1st in Africa.

30 days til Hurricane Season.

15 days til NHC puts out the Tropical Weather Outlook

And, I'm sitting in Raleigh listening to the rain fall as well as the rolling thunder that was not in the forecast for this time period. We were expecting "light rain" and the system moves out and the cold front moves in. And, yet the strongest thunder of the day ...the longest rolling thunder of the day was tonight when it wasn't expected. I mention this as 2023 seems to be the Year of the Unexpected Weather Wise. Tornadoes flipping cars in South Florida, grapefruit size hail when pebble hail was expected. Cool weather in May after a hot March and a somewhat more pleasant April. Time will tell. 

But day by day we are getting closer to Prime Time... 2023 Hurricane Season.  The NFL Draft is over. 

Calendar flipping pages faster than a kid sneaking a peak at a book to see what happens in the end without reading the whole story. Do you do that? I don't. I like to take things one day at a time.

Stay tuned...

Not going to proof this as I'm tired and just kind of mellow like relaxing and watching everything late at night as the thunder moves further away and the rain tapers off. 

Next 5 days.

Beautiful weather.

Willie Nelson turned 80!

My oh my ...oh my gosh.

Oh my goodness.

Love him.

He's incredible in concert ;)

Stay tuned.

Sweet Tropical Dreams,
