62 Days Til Hurricane Season - Severe Weather and Possible Tornadoes Today in the South. Seasons Sliding Along. Only A Matter of Time...

 

Starting with this story this morning as it's very tropically relevant! When Florida warms up and the temperatures flirt with and actually get into the 90s......you have to know the water is warming up around the tropical peninsular as well and that means the Gulf will be getting hot as we head into the Hurricane Season. Florida has had a fairly nice winter, but that switch has been flipped and after the first week of April it'll be hard to see cold fronts move through with much energy. And, then the heat sets in......

Pretty map.

Note the sliver of orange sliding into the Gulf.

Lots of warmth in the Caribbean Sea.

Slowly that dome of heat edges North.

Mike has sea surface temperatures on his site.

As we March through April into May.

We watch for water warm enough....

...to support pre season activity.

At least 2 people are dead from tornadoes...

...that slammed into the center of the USA

Today the severe weather moves East.

Carolinas, Georgia are all on watch.

In truth the local weather has been playing this weather up all of last week as if there was a hurricane about to make landfall on Monday. We are finally at Monday and the maps for today's Severe Weather Outbreak are below. Brad Panovich is a Carolina treasure and I'd say people on both sides of the state line follow him carefully when weather looks to be a news story.

So we will see what we will see. It's that simple when it comes to Severe Weather as it forms in real time and where that line may form a bow echo is the whole story that evolves in real time. As always only time will tell, but the word is out and I'll add aside from Severe Weather expected in certain areas there's many other areas that may get flooding from copious amounts of rain with this system. When it rains it pours indeed! 

Sweet Tropical Dreams

62 days til Hurricane Season - basically at the 2 month line.

So start looking through your lists and supplies and fill in what you need when things are on sale.

Easier to spend a little here and there when things go on sale or pick up one thing extra at the Dollar Store  then having to spend the rent money when you are finally in the Cone and have watches and warnings up!
