How far south of Destin? 5 nmi? 50 nmi? 500 nmi? The world must know, Dave

Looks like about 50nmi so beyond the horizon. Enjoy your beach day.

Looks like if it holds it will rotate around the high in the middle of the gulf and come around towards Galveston to Houston area.

Another storm fired up on the other side of the high but it is well south of Brownsville and will come ashore in Mexico giving some rain.

Tropics are just starting to show signs of activity, it's been quiet since all that early activity in May along the Atlantic coast.
 
Hah - funny you post this. I've been watching the offshore Doppler all day here at Tyndall...I was thinking "hmmm, looks like rotation".

Looks like your right - nice cloud formation today.
 
It does take a quick hand to pull that off.

Bravo! :thumbsup: :biggrin:

Thanks, I think the midwest connection must have been down at the time. I'm in California. :biggrin:

Back on topic, that storm has fizzled into a tropical depression. Nothing to see here - move along. :awe:

Negatory

It is gaining strength in the overnight hours and heading towards Southern Louisiana.

It's small and compact like Andrew.

Still nothing on it. We'll see if in 5am report.
 
Center of circulation is now due south of Mobile.

Still slowly coming together, still no mention of it at National Hurricane Center.
 
NOAA is ignoring it - wonder why?

Way to weak to become anything

I thought the order was
Depression
Storm - named
Hurricane

Yet how could it be a tropical storm if it was not named?

This is barely a depression
 
Huh, friend of mine from down there just called and said they had a freak storm with some vicious winds roll through. Trees and power lines are down and half the base lost power.
