From this we see EPAC is coming alive.
Lower Pressures in GOM
BOC
Both GOM & BOC are favorable for June.
This is May.
But looking ahead a bit.
With water temperatures hotter than normal.
We could have a late May/June 1st system.
Kind of a "hey, don't forget Hurricane Season"
Keeping this short today. Basic. Check your home for these supplies before you shop, as you never know what you'll find under the sink or in those hidden places you stash stuff and then forget about it. With cost of living an ongoing issue, it's hard to even think about buying hurricane supplies for a h ..read more

Our side of the world above.
Tropics lit up a bit.
Ok and Tx get a rest from Twisters.
Old Mason Dixie Line area targeted today.
Huge High in place over parts of the Tropics.
If you're in the colorful part of this map.
The Christmas like greens and reds....
Pay attention to your local weather.
Love old maps that show you what you'll get
In criss cross patterns of green and red!
Purple blue bullseye is a lot of rain.
Elevation can cause flash flooding
Severe Weather...
..pay attn.
Note Florida is fairly dry.
More on that deeper into the blog.
And, deep in the SW Caribbe ..read more

Nothing happening in the tropics today.
Always lots of speculation in May.
Racing season actually.
Fronts still racing across the USA from West to East
High Rain Totals next 7 days.
It's May and frontal boundaries don't move as fast!
I so love old maps!
Bullseye over the same region hit often of late.
My friend Rush (not that Rush) mentioned last night "hurricane highways" concept and indeed there are certain highways hurricanes seem to travel more than other roads not taken. South Florida, through the Florida Keys into GOM and often a heavy hitting hurricane in Miami mak ..read more

add pics in the morning….
By the time you read this........the sun will have come up and we will see the horrific damage in Sulphur, Oklahoma and many other towns from Oklahoma to Kansas to ...well earlier tonight there was a warning for a town in Michigan while chasers were chasing in Oklahoma. Dawn will make the damage from the day before look doubled, tripled as this wild line snakes its way through an area known for bad tornadoes but this truly was the Night of the Tornadoes... Twisters. And, when you watch the new Twister remember that's not real and this is real........ and while ..read more

As we cruise into May....
this is where we pay attention.
Note the flow over Panana moving from the SW to NE
Also notice the flow moving NE from Mexico over the USA
Feeding the severe storms and chase weather we have ongoing.
Close up a look at this interesting box.
This region encompasses the Deep Caribbean and the Eastern Pacific. If you cut the map vertically, you will see this area as one region and what happens in one area impacts the other. Strong convection is moving off of Colombia which later in the season produces convection frequently that can develop and/or westbou ..read more

Our area that was highlighted yesterday....
.... is no longer mentioned.
As you can see from the loop above....
...the flow is from West to East still.
Caribbean is still out of the SW to NE
Not ready for prime time yet.
But time to think on your priorities.
Planning ahead is my best advice.
A look at the 5 day shows the HIGH.
Double barreled high on some days.
That tends to dry out the atmopshere in the SE
Fronts try and move South and collapse.
This is the MDR
Main Development Region.
Red - Saharan Dust.
The deeper the red... the stronger the dust.
Moving West towards ..read more

That' dark area in the sea of reds and golds is convection. Visible in many ways, but kind of fun to use an out of the box method here in Mid April. The Caribbean is coming alive........day by day.
Not ready for prime time yet....
Winds aloft blowing, flowing SW to NE
Not conducive for development.
And yet it hangs in there.
Stubbornly!
Huge sprawling Low....
...taking up the whole NE Atlantic.
Frontal boundaries moving along still.
Not there yet... still Spring.
This picture shows many things.
West to East.
New front moving East across USA/Canada
Sturbborn convection in ..read more

On June 12th, 1994 the world was rocked with a news story that went on to dominate the news cycle for the following year. It's a date and a time many will not forget. OJ Simpson a much beloved football player that broke many records in college and won the Heisman Trophy in 1968 for his incredible run at USC in the heart of LA was suddenly the suspect in his wife Nicole Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman's death! OJ went on after college to fame playing for the Buffalo Bills and infact had become quite the football hero, to many, as well as a public figure who had acted and was popular o ..read more
