Hurricane Harbor: EPAC Could Have Barbara and Cosme Soon......... ATL Quiet Now...... Could BOC Host 1st ATL Storm? GFS Showing that Tonight... Inline with Climo So Maybe. Mid June Things May Get Busier!

The race for the name Barbara goes on in EPAC

1 system at 90%

Another red circle is at 80%

Barbara and Cosme next two names.

In the Atlantic nothing is going on.

Okay, that's not true.

Saharan Dust is pulsing up and down.

Traveling westbound.

A huge High owns the Atlantic.

Not much moisture.

A few waves wobbling West.

Wave train suppressed.

Staying low.

There is still talk on the MJO that is a feature that moves across the planet, through the atmosphere and often juices up the area where it's temporarily residing. It's in the EPAC currently, set to move into the Caribbean/BOC and then moves slowly East. When this happens in September it's "watch out...all hands on deck" but when it happens in "June Too Soon" many insist nothing will happen. We may have Barbara and Cosme this week in the EPAC, so "nothing" may be more a wish than a fact.

Time will tell. It's June. Every June we watch, we wait and people get agitated online in the weather world and this year is no different. Infact, I began this blog back in June of 2004 when everyone on a message board was fighting and the owner of the message board kept threatening to shut it down. That said, the message board is still there (Canetalk on www.hurricanecity.com) and I am here too. Everyone insisted nothing was going to happen. 2004 happened, was busy and oh what a time it was......

Something could form in a week to ten days as moisture makes it's way into the BOC, but while we do have fronts on the move they are currently moving West to East and not dipping all that much. When they do dip they die and linger in warm water and the Gulf water temperature now especially close in is hotter than I want to talk about. So stay tuned.

Til then..............Sunday is a good time to take advantage of any sales you see on products from first aid supplies to snacks for Hurricane Supplies. Now that eggs are affordable again, spend a little on hurricane supplies as I'm fairly sure many of us along the Hurricane Coast will definitely need them this year!

GFS has been in line with CLIMO

This could happen for a number or reasons.

Far off, far out but it's a start.

Often the Hurricane Season starts here.

It started by the Yucatan..

note there's more blue (moisture)

back where it came from.

IF it happens ...IF

Good video I happened to run into on YouTube. A simple run down of what you need to know if you live in or recently moved to Hurricane Country. Note when I say that I don't mean a condo on the ocean, but anywhere that you can be impacted by a hurricane. Take Valdosta a city in Georgia not on the coast but it was impacted the last two years by hurricanes that moved fast inland. Infact, while the hurricane was about to make landfall down in Florida much of the weather raced out ahead of it and was lashing Valdosta with seriously crazy winds. I'm keeping this short tonight, but I have spoken in past blogs about how Valdosta and Tallahassee were getting lashed by violent weather and yet the hurricane had still not made official landfall in Florida far to the South. About as short a video I can think of where someone put together the basics, calmly in an organized and helpful way!
