"
1. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ASSOCIATED WITH A BROAD AREA OF LOW
PRESSURE LOCATED ABOUT 100 MILES EAST OF CAPE CANAVERAL FLORIDA
CONTINUE TO SHOW SIGNS OF ORGANIZATION. UPPER-LEVEL WINDS ARE ONLY
MARGINALLY CONDUCIVE FOR DEVELOPMENT AT THIS TIME...BUT COULD
BECOME A LITTLE MORE FAVORABLE DURING THE NEXT DAY OR SO. THIS
SYSTEM HAS A MEDIUM CHANCE...30 PERCENT...OF BECOMING A TROPICAL
CYCLONE DURING THE NEXT 48 HOURS AS IT MOVES SLOWLY TOWARD THE
SOUTH. AN AIR FORCE RESERVE HURRICANE HUNTER AIRCRAFT IS SCHEDULED
TO INVESTIGATE THE AREA LATER TODAY...IF NECESSARY.
"
This picture here is a lot more pretty than it was last night! We still need the rain!

Are you ready?
These things (trop weather events) can happen anytime between now and December, IF YOU LIVE IN THE SOUTH, YOU ARE VULNERABLE!
IF YOU LIVE ON THE EASTERN SEABOARD, YOU ARE VULNERABLE!

IF YOU ARE NOT READY, WELL, YOU JUST PLAIN SILLY!

It's a Depression!
\(^o^)/

But seriously not an issue, maybe some rough surf on the eastern seaboard next week or so.

Thank you!

I wish we could get some of that rain. According to the weather service, we are 10inches behind in rainfall this year. We need rain badly.

And overnite, it became Trop storm Bret, still not an issue other than surf.

Pushing away from the coast though still it looked like. North Florida- St. Augustine/Jacksonville areas are way overdue for something. We didn't have one actually hit in the 15 years I lived there.

St Aug and Jax are hard to hit for a couple of reasons, mainly the prevailing winds and Gulf Stream. I remember having school canceled for Hugo, only time I got close to a storm in Jax. Floyd was another one, got bands from that one in Kissimmee, although they kinda missed us, I think Jax got some from them too.
I just love watching them all anyway, lol.
