10-29 Strange season almost over - Busy season south of Islands keeps big storms away from U.S.
Must be that Global Cooling
10-28-2007 Hurricane season above normal, meteorologists say
African dust, a pressure barrier along the Southeast and low sheer in the atmosphere are some of the reasons why Florida and the rest of the United States have been mostly safe from hurricane disaster this year.
But the hurricane season itself has actually been more active than normal, according to meteorologists.
?The numbers have actually been there with the averages,? said AccuWeather.com senior meteorologist Bob Smerbeck. ?Actually, they?ve even been a little above average.?
While there have been no history-making storms ravaging Florida, the Gulf Coast or Mid-Atlantic this year, there has been plenty of cyclone activity along the Yucatan Peninsula, as well as other portions of Central America and the Caribbean.
For the most part, hurricanes need three vital ingredients ? a flare-up of thunderstorms in the Atlantic, a low wind shear in the upper atmosphere and a warm ocean.
The ocean is always warm during the summer, but the other two are not as reliable
============================================
9-21 Strange season continues, storm forms close to shore again, now off Panama City FL
Still unnamed
===============================================
9-8 Weather Channel making big deal of small system off Carolina coast
Looks like won't even help drought in southeast.
--------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile getting drowned here again.
Summer 2007 Flood
===================================================
8-25-2007
Remnant of Dean streaks east makes bend at Oklahoma and thens floods midwest.
AT climatologists dismiss this tropical moisture and claim the rains cae from Iowa corn fields.
8-26-2007 Hundreds of thousands of people were without power after their homes were battered by fierce winds and flooding rainstorms that slammed the rain-soaked Midwest.
Flooding this week spread across an 80-mile swath through the northwest and north central parts of the state. Gov. Ted Strickland toured some of the damaged areas Saturday.
Rain had mostly stopped falling Saturday in northern Illinois as a line of storms moved eastward and southward, and the flood waters that had risen steadily slowed to a creep or began to drop in some areas. Flood warnings remained in effect in 14 counties.
"There's so much flooding continuing from the rain and runoff from two days ago," said Mark Ratzer, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service. "That's going to take a while to recede."
Federal Emergency Management Agency Administrator R. David Paulison surveyed damage Friday in Rushford, Minn., which was especially hard hit by this week's flooding. Mayor Les Ladewig said about half of Rushford's 760 homes were damaged, including 248 that were destroyed and 91 with serious damage.
About 1,500 homes were damaged around Minnesota. Paulison said FEMA recovery centers should be running early next week in the three counties where President Bush declared disasters Thursday.
Paulison also visited Wisconsin, where flooding destroyed 44 homes and damaged more than 1,400, most of them in the southwestern part of the state.
8-22-2007 Remnants of Erin kills 22 from Oklahoma to Ohio
AT OTers say it was nothing
=======================================
8-15-07 11:30 pm CST Low forming very close behind Dean.
Looks like something for the east coast.
=================================
8-15-07 11 am EST Erin finally named
Heading towards Texas.
Will it make Cat 1 before landfall is the only question now.
Was called here first.
Of course most ATers deny it.
Edit: Looks like will be 20mph short but pretty close.
====================================
11PM Tropical Storm watch issued for Texas for what could be named Erin by tomorrow,
=====================================
8-14-07
Dean strengthening heading towards island at good clip.
Upper level low has spun down in Gulf to become tropical, no confirmation from NHC at 10:30 am CST time however.
======================================
Looks like first big Atlantic storm of the season.
Winds are keeping everything about mid gulf line down so beeline for south Florida.
METEOSAT-8 8-13-07
Edit: 11 am EST NHC issues 1st report on this
Back on topic.
I was spot on and way before the NHC by nearly 2 hrs.
I know it just kills so many poeple in here. :laugh:
8-13-2007 Atlantic depression forms, another eyed in Gulf: NHC
In about four days, the NHC said Tropical Depression 4 could strengthen into a Category 1 hurricane with winds of 74-95 mph and a Category 2 hurricane with winds of 96-110 mph in about five days.
The NHC expects to issue another advisory at 5 p.m.
All of the weather models show Tropical Depression 4 will likely cross the Leeward Islands over the next several days and enter the Caribbean Sea.
