BAVI all the Rage and Raging Towards Landfall. Where Did All The Chasers Go? July 4th Weekend Offline Watching Fire Works! Atlantic Quietish.... Low Lat Wave Train Keeps on Training ... Weather Pattern in the NC Broken So Are Changes in the Wind?

 

On the other side of the world, far from the Fifa World Cup the weather world is watching Typhoon BAVI and to be fair iCyclone is on the way as is Reed Timmer and a whole slew of chasers who are not waiting around for the Atlantic to wake up and wish to chase cyclonic history! BAVI center stage on Tropical Tidbits!

In the Atlantic Ocean.

Go straight to the source!

There's a low latitude wave train....

....cruising towards Trinidad

Ah look the Big Kahuna.....

...my weather artist and song of the day pal!

@daBuh played with my ink blot.

Couldn't tell if it was a hunting dog pointing..

...or 

...the eyes of Dr. T. J. Eckleburg of Gatsby fame!

My friend is right....

...fated love always wins at the box office.

Just some literary references ....

...from my English degree :)

In my own ocean.....

...chasing hearts of potential!

Close in is good to watch.....

...or Upper Level Lows that go Subtropical.

Who knows.

Won't lie this made me smile 

With dreams of Winter in July.

I took a long July 4th vacation and tried to ignore the triple digit heat in the Carolinas. 105 sounds like a Radio Station I used to listen to not the daily temperatures in July in Raleigh and I do NOT want to talk about the "feels like" I am so over "feels like 150 degrees in Hell" weather reports. I sort of ignored BAVI to the chagrin of some of my close weather friends. Sorry, it's on the other side of the world and not raining on me. I needed rain. I got rain last night. I had hours of rain and I had lighting and thunder for a good six hours from start til finish, or until I fell asleep listening to the rain and grumbling, distant thunder as the storm left us and rolled out to sea. I will say the pattern has been broken. The storm complex that blew through the East Coast from NC to VA to DC and up into NY & NJ charged aross the area lighting up the sky, causing flooding and BJ's roof collapse that put their flooded store all over the media. The grip of the strong High over the South is losing it's grip and there's a shift in the triple digit heat as it's on it's way to Billings, Montana!   I'm glad to see it go though my friend in Bozeman may get what she wished for as the snow season usually there is long and summer is short.

That's not France!

That's DC.

250 Birthday!

I spent July 4th relaxing and in the evening watched the longest, firework show I remember the Country Club giving and stared at my phone smiling as my kids in South Florida sent me fireworks from Hard Rock's famous guitar and some resort up the coast. My son Levi sent me pics my own Biltmore Hotel on the lawn watching fireworks with castles in the air made by drones and that made me smile knowing my grandchildren are enjoying the good life back home in Coral Gables on the lawn of the beautiful Biltmore. Not the one in North Carolina ;) 

Watched the Tall Ships my mother loved so ..... sail through the harbor in New York City. My brother kept texting me like a terrier that learned how to text telling me to "put on MACYS" and "OMG did you see the Tall Ships" and "when are they going to show the fireworks already" and then "OMG" lol all night. He gets excited about things like this you know. I had some incredible BBQ Pulled Brisket my husband made while sipping an ice-cold beer as I sat on the floor in the living room in front of the big screen cross legged like a li'l kid watching the fireworks that finally went off in DC close to Midnight. It was a hot, meaningful July 4th and one for the record books both weather wise and history wise. Seeing as how I love weather and history, it was a perfect combination. 

I ignored the news, I ignored the nonstop hype on the high record heat and I ignored BAVI's evolution into a historic storm and time will tell where it goes next. Sometimes you just need to get away, off the flowing social media highway, the nonstop feed of hype and agenda on the "NEWS" and hunker down through the triple digit heat and do your own thing and then sit back and watch the fireworks in the hot, steamy night on July 4th in Raleigh. Next month up is August and then comes Remember September and as El Nino seasons usually ends early any real activity should come in August and early September. But as always time will tell.

Yup, I sat on the floor singing along to Sweet Caroline as if I was at a Red Sox game and well for those few minutes life couldn't get much better :)

From a random YT video :)

Have a sweet day!

Have a good day!

Have a great July!

And time will tell.....

...I'm back blogging.

I'm back obsessing on satellite imagery.

Watching models...

...and smiling while listening to music.

And sometimes dancing along.
