Hot Hazy Days of Summer. Severe Thunderstorm Warnings in Carolinas. New Daily Rain Is Slowly Breaking Down the 100 Degree Temperatures. Waves Will Break Up the SAL. Wave by Wave... It's Just a Matter of Time. Change Coming in the Tropical Wind

 

Always good to be home after a trip even if you can think of other places you'd like to be, but not today when all I want to do is hang out and play. Nothing happening in the tropics. 

Nothing. Happening. Tropics.

Atlantic Basin Edition.

I wanted to draw your atten to you the "front" that's draped over the South. Not something you expect to see in Mid July during a Heat Wave. And, yes it is still hot but with the cloud cover it's gone down to 89 degrees while a scroll runs under my TV naming every county in the vicinity. Discussion is split on what role frontal boundaries could have on this coming Hurricane Season as we get deeper into Fall. I think there will be fronts, we have them now and if we have them now we could easily have early frontal boundaries. I'm not saying we are having an early winter, I'm saying frontal boundaries are drivers of movement of tropical systems. Beryl was an odd storm for early July and yet a frontal boundary was there in the mix of the mess of ambiguous and contradictory weather events playing out in the tropical weather world. Time will tell.

Here's another view.

Note the ITCZ is suppressed.

Beneath strong high pressure.

Elongated, moving fast westward.

There's a wave coming off of Africa.

It's a nice wave... large, has a look to it.

It'll do one or two things.

It will help juice up the atmosphere....

...that's currently very dry.

And help the next big wave behind it.

it's a process this time of year.

Wave by wave by wave.

SAL slowly let's go.

And, or it'll try to hang in there.

Maybe try and flare up closer in.

Purple splotches growing...

There's change in the wind.

Distant change but it's on the way.

The horrific highs in the 100s...

...are being washed out by rain.

Huge rainfall totals for NC...

..down by Gulf of Mexico.

But for now SAL is in charge.

Each new wave will take a bite out of it!

One wave after another.

Then we will have Prime Time Tropics.

It's just a matter of time.
