Prospective picture number 7 for my photo collage. I like this one. I can't wait to get this collage finished. 
Well, Chantal was a nice little fish, but as was expected, Chantal is quickly approaching extratropical-ness. We do, however, still have the special feature number 99L looming off the Southern Windward Islands. That is looking more and more impressive. I am thinking Dean is well on his way. Woohoo... Two named storms in one week would be cool. If you click on the image to the left, you should get the looped images.
...SPECIAL FEATURES...The HWO is becoming redundant as I would have expected a while ago with the summer thunderstorm season... looks like that season has finally arived. More showers and thunderstorms are forecasted to arrive this afternoon with brief gusty winds and heavy rain, and of course, thunderstorms mean lightning.
A 1010 MB LOW NEAR 12N55W IS ABOUT 325 NM E OF THE SOUTHERN WINDWARD ISLANDS. A BAND OF SCATTERED MODERATE ISOLATED STRONG CONVECTION HAS APPEARED INTERMITTENTLY WITHIN 90 NM OF THE LOW LEVEL CENTER OVER THE PAST SEVERAL HOURS AND THE OVERALL ORGANIZATION OF THE SYSTEM REMAINS INTACT. THE SYSTEM STILL HAS THE POTENTIAL FOR FURTHER DEVELOPMENT AND COULD BECOME A TROPICAL DEPRESSION OVER THE NEXT DAY OR SO.
THINGS STILL LOOK PRETTY WET FOR THU AND FRI, SO WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO CONTINUE TO EAT AWAY AT THE RAINFALL DEFICIT AT TLH.Have a lovely day!

Special Feature! I'm continuing to watch 99L closely....Congrats on your Spotter ID. I need to get signed up and certified so I can do some good during my chases. I plan on getting that done by next year, time with the little one permitting :)

They have online spotter training at most of the weather service offices. That's a decent way to get certified, and you can go along at your own pace when you want... This is my 5th training and my first spotter id.
ReplyDeleteDean may be on the horizon...things are also brewing a bit in the Gulf...hmmm...
ReplyDeleteI never received one of those neat ID badges...maybe that's a new thing...I need to update my spotter training anyway.
btw...that's one of my favorite flowers you've shown so far...maybe the best
ReplyDeleteNeither Tallahassee, nor Jacksonville offer "ID badges", so I was pleased to get this one out of Tampa Bay. I think it's up to the Warning Coordinator in each area.
ReplyDeleteWow, I guess the flower is a keeper. Thanks, Mike!
ReplyDeleteGreat picture....A keeper.
ReplyDeleteIt's ananimous. This one makes the cut.
ReplyDeleteI adore the tulip! A must have for the fireplace. It's good enough to stand on its own.
ReplyDeleteThat was a great storm that we had on Tue. I was busy holding Elijah at the hospital.... I heard that ABC's doors were blown open!
I love the flower picture
ReplyDeleteThat coming from the man who said my flower posts are boring???? lol Just noticed that my last comment had a misspelling... It's UNANIMOUS... the tulip picture made the cut, and might actually be spotlighted in the center...
ReplyDeleteTeresa, It was quite a storm. It was much stronger to our west, you know before the Dewvoid killed it, so much wind.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe all the compliments on the tulip picture.
