Tropics - Enjoy This Weekend.- Next Week Something Could Develop. Watching SW Caribbean. Have a Wonderful Weekend!

Nothing officially going on in the tropics.

There's a wave westbound.

A stalled out cool front.

Next week a cold front pushes through.

Will it sweep through ...

...or stall out?

Or pull up convection from down below...

Signs are something tropical could develop.

Again next week not now...

For now we are watching!

Moisture in the SW Caribbean.

Meteorologists watching SW Caribbean.

Spoiler Alert:
We are ALL watching the SW Carib.

How the tropical world turns.

From Hurricane Season to Winter.

Fall is the season in between.

Up north that means cooler weather.

Down South it means we watch the Caribbean.

Oh... Dodgers are in the World Series.

Cantore was right on that one!

I guess he knows baseball and weather ;)

Above image is anomaly.

Define anomaly?

A bit more than normal.

Even for October.

But....

That doesn't mean it will develop.

Time will tell.

If your house doesn't look like this below...

Consider yourself LUCKY.

Been there... it's not easy.

The 2017 Atlantic Hurricane Season with Phillipe or Rina or without will go down in history as one of the most active hurricane seasons on record. It will be studied over time and hopefully we will learn from it to better prepare for future hurricanes and the next crazy, busy hurricane season. Bet you miss El Nino now? Seriously though La Nina also has it's own dangers and weather is always happening so never let your guard down but I suggest you go out and enjoy this weekend. Winter is waiting in the wings and trees are trying to put on a show however they seem a bit slow to pop color and show off their fall foliage. Well... unless you live way up north where there is lots of color as no tropical event has reached up there yet this hurricane season. In the Carolinas and Georgia the color is slow to show and yet leaves look plumb exhausted and are shriveling up while still green and falling to the ground. God Bless Red Maples they rarely disappoint. In Raleigh there's a State Fair and good weather so if you don't get out there and enjoy it this weekend... I don't want to hear complaints this winter. If you live in Florida watch out for Rip Tides with a strong onshore flow so ... swim in the pool, walk on the beach!

Have a great weekend, enjoy whatever and whoever you enjoy!

Back from the wedding... I just want to say not everyone gets a chance to start over again in life after hard times and rejoice. My brother did last Sunday when he got remarried and began a new chapter of his life and we danced and life was and is good. Make your life good... you have the power. Believe in yourself and do what makes you happy and spread happiness!! And yeah after the first two hours I took the high heels off....

Dry Season VS Wet Season. Monsoons Then Hurricanes? Flow of Time... Time Keeps Flowing.

Random thoughts on random weather events and the coming Hurricane Season. In truth the "Hurricane Season" is a collection of events that really begin with the "May Monsoons" in South Florida. The set up of the Bermuda High and the  movement of pools of moisture that pop up and appear out of seemingly nowhere in the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic. There are bigger long term factors at play here, however they do not appear on daily satellite imagery nor do they catch our attention.

But we go online suddenly and see color appearing in the Gulf of Mexico and near the Bahamas. Down near South America a blob of red readies itself to depart into the Eastern Pacific. People in South Florida begin whining about the lack of rain and drought and fires burn out of control in parts of Florida in need of moisture. Normally... Mother Nature hears the cries for rain and sends a drought buster with heavy, flooding rain in Mid May. Usually when the system works. Currently the High is anchored over Florida and the dry Southeast US and there is a weak, anchored Bahama Low that will in theory go out to sea. Welcome to 2017 a year that has yet to be reckoned with tropically speaking.

A lot of moisture and "energy" is caught in that Low.

Official comments from the NHC are below:

You know that old saying....

It's just part and parcel of the flow of this time of year.

A rearrangement of weather in the atmosphere.

We are not there yet on our journey.

There is still a zonal sort of flow.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zonal_and_meridional

Basically this is Spring in the N Hemisphere.

Spring in Florida means they are playing baseball, but not football. The Spring Breakers have arrived, but snow birds have not left yet. Weather poets wax poetically on ocean currents, salinity and patterns in the atmosphere predicting a quieter than normal season while Mother Nature laughs and plans a drought buster somewhere that will wake everyone up.

People celebrate Passover or Easter as holidays that arrive at the seasonal mark awaken us to the spirituality of nature unfolding in not so subtle ways before our eyes. People pack their winter clothes away in parts of the country and in South Florida they go on partying enjoying the mild weather before the humidity that brings consistent rain back into the region. Snow is up where it belongs to misquote an old sappy song.

It's a process, it happens slowly over time.

And then one day there's an Invest.

An advisory issued on a weak tropical disturbance.

Rain falls somewhere and people smile.

Air gets moved from the Equator to the Poles.

Until then we live in Zonal land...

...watching loops.

Sometimes floaters appear.

We are not there yet.

Just enjoy the show ....

El Nino or No Nino storms form...

Somewhere, somehow.

Seasons change.

Weather flows.

It's just a matter of time.

Ps... Song stuck in my mind.

I see a couple, passionately kissing in the rain.

Good video.. I see a way better one in my head.

Thank you...
