An Honest Look at Hurricane Season. Solar Storms and Hurricane Season Collide. HMMM Is That an Omen??? Meteorological Summer Today Too.

 

There is a big frontal boundary visible over FL.

Why is this important? Well if you don't know, it's this simple. When we have cold fronts that make it down to Florida dropping the dew points and lowering the daily high temperatures in June then we have to take that into consideration as it's now Hurricane Season. It is always a possibility that an area of low pressure can form out in the Gulf or the Florida Straits that can develop into something tropical but usually weak. 

Everyone in South Florida that has told me this morning that the Rainy Season is here is only half correct, it's raining but it's not from "the rainy season" as much as the front that is slowly dying out, yet kicking up the moisture in the atmosphere creating rain. Does it matter if "The Rainy Season" started yet or not? Well, yes and no. The High off to the East has been so large and eaten so much dry air and Saharan Dust that it's now a candidate for Ozempic if it can find a pharmacy that can fill the prescription. I mean this High is huge (I don't mean to be rude.... but honesty is important) and that High will direct anything that forms in the Caribbean up into the Gulf which apparently is going to be contentious no matter how you spell it this Hurricane Season. My Grandma Mary raised in Tampa always called it "The Gulf" so as she was one of my favorite weather people I'm going to honor he and just say the Gulf... unless I change my mind. She was 84 in this picture at a family event she has this expression on where she's thinking "I just wanted to put some lipstick on and they are always in a rush to take pictures".......Grandma said "the Gulf"  Nuff Said. Lord have mercy really.... this is what everyone wants to argue over?

Oh well there's also the GFS that supposedly will wipe out Florida or Mississippi on different runs. I may add the ghostly hurricane the GFS has suggested goes all the way Up the Mississippi River Valley on some runs. 

If the GFS is seeing Hurricanes.......it must be June 1st! Other models hint at increased moisture.

That brings us back to the earlier point I made that there's rain around Florida and as the front inches South a bit of rain will show up in the Caribbean. That could induce tropical formation.

However.............we have lots of Saharan Dust that is a negative in this mathematical equation. Storms can form in between bouts of Saharan Dust as they come off in wave like fashion, in bursts.

EPAC has a 40% chance of Barbara developing later this week. They have the energy, the motion going on currently and that is well within CLIMO. CLIMO means the meteorological odds for newbies.

Yes I am in a mood.

I'll try to shake it later today.

The truth is that the only thing I can say today of value is this....

Please make a list of your own priorities per your health, age, amount of babies in diapers or how much food your dog will eat over a 2 week period because if you get hit by even a mild hurricane the power may be out that long.

Count Diapers.

Count Depends.

Count Dog or Cat Food.

Count how much you'll need for staying home with no AC for 2 weeks in the South or wherever you live!

Load up on your favorite drinks (juice, canned espresso, water ...whatever) in case the water goes out.

Know you are supposed to fill your bathtub with water so that you can use that water for washing and flushing the toilet (keep a bucket nearby) in case the power and water go out. Happens. 

I'm suddenly wondering if the many people I know who went thru Andrew in the bathtub with a mattress over their head while the house was flying apart had to stop, drain the tub and dry it or did they just jump in splish splash and not care if it was wet as long as they were alive?? I know many, not sure which one to ask they are little touchy on the subject of Hurricane Andrew. I was on Miami Beach in a big old Roaring 20s house .... I could hear the surf at times :) which didn't scare me much as by that time we knew the radar dish blew off the NHC building at UM but other radars showed it was in South Dade where some of my friends were in the bathtub praying. 

Seriously every family, every person has their own priorities. Beer? Juice? Chocolate? Jelly Beans?

Figure yours out and make a plan. That's more valuable advice than anything else I can say today.

Don't totally laugh off the GFS as it sees things, but sometimes those things get lost in translation. It may rain along places in the path of the early June hurricane it's currently advertising. 

It's kind of like ordering dresses and tops from Chinese Websites online except the other way around. With the cute little dresses that come really, really little like for a preteen.... you have to adjust and add 3 sizes to everything so they will be normal American size.......but in this case expect rain and maybe even some stormy weather on days the GFS promotes hurricanes in Nola or Miami on June 1st model runs. Nuff said.

Have a great day!

Have a safe, secure yet maybe interesting Hurricane Season.

Interesting would be you can go to the beach and take pics of wild waves as a big hurricane slides by your home town on it's way out to sea but you can feel the hurricane breeze from a safe distance.

Note if you are going to have a hurricane.....pray it's in late Fall when the air behind the hurricane sweeps in with a cold front that grabbed the Cane vs August when you get beastly hot air and there is no AC.

Sweet Tropical Dreams,

X mostly weather

elsewhere whatever

Ps.....maybe I'll update later today but probably not it's a short, busy day for me as there's a 2 day holiday and I'll be offline June 2nd and June 3rd. Not much going on so not much to say. Except there may be Northern Lights showing up on beaches tonight on the Atlantic Coastline that could later in the year feel the force of a hurricane. Is that a wild Omen we are having a Solar Storm outburst on June 1st?

Not sure.

Also it's meteorological summer if you are that desperate for beastly hot air and sunsets at 8:30 PM.

Besos Bobbi :)

Well, this was more fun than I thought it'd be....
