you have been doing some digging today! good work! It would have been amazing to stay through Rita... just seeing how all the mighty pines were snapped like matchsticks was amazing... that storm had some furry...
Thanks. Hope Canada Day was super!
Has anyone seen Cotillion on the blogs lately?
havent seen him in a while
Its currently an Upper Level Low....i believe this might try to work its way down to a surface LOw in time.....It just appears to be the type that would do such a thing.....Look at this loop South of the Western Tip of Cuba......Link

Dang you had me excited that something real might be out there. That ULL is weak and wont form anything. I wouldnt hold your breathe on it. It looks like nothing for the next week or so.
Lol. Yeah I been digging. Don't think I'm brave enough to have gone through that one. But I did find somthing that explained a lot.
During the early morning hours, the eye of Rita passed east of Jefferson County as it moved over Orange County. Winds rapidly shifted from northwest to southwest and weakened. Water levels at Port Arthur were beginning to decrease. Water levels at inland river sites, on the other hand, continued to rise during the morning of the 24th, and crested during the afternoon.
By that time she'd already broke and pushed all the trees to the south. Yep she wasnt nuttin nice!
On the large scale, a few changes ahead towards the middle of next week. There has been a good model signal of a more zonal (west to east) flow at the mid and upper for quite a few runs. Always easy to get ripples in this zonal flow in the form of a short wave or vort max.
The first shortwave to give a slight chance of rain over TX and a better chance for points east early next week and beyond. The first of at least one of the potential areas of interest as it makes its way off the east coast.
The zonal pattern should end the constant E coast troughing and allow a strong appearance of the low level A/B high-or at least the Bermuda portion along and south of the southern edge of the upper flow. The ridge axis running somewhere along 30N from the western ATL to west TX. Ridge-building north towards the Great Lakes. For the first time in a while, strong return flow off the Gulf. An uptick in severe over the central plains might also accompany these changes.
The Sonoran ridge still in place advecting hot, dry air on a more SW to NE trajectory around the western periphery of the low level ridge. A short-term heat wave developing over the northern plains and the midwest towards the end of next week as this airmass slowly creeps up around the ridge. Hot Chicago?
If I had to guess how this would affect steering for any lower-latitude tropical distubance? Without the benefit of an east coast trough, it would go due west till it rounded the ridge.
Somebody else can suggest when we might see that (lol).
He left WU a while back.
ok thanks Levi
he just used to be here a lot
are you still thinking some sort of low off Carolinas next week?
LOL Example: very funny ??? LOL
Probably at least three reasons.
1. LOL I think you're an idiot
2. LOL Anything I say is certainly up for discussion and is not posted as gospel.
3. LOL I think something is funny
LOL
Federic was also a Large Hurricane as well...with a Big Wind Field
Hummm, I saw a commercial once that said, laughter adds 8 years to you life. I will take that risk :)

Out to sea garbage...

LOL, hummmm~ :P

Try this, Keh Urban dictionary
However, I often have to puzzle out the short hand. Thanks for the link - I just book marked it!
MODIFIED: I did not have a TV hooked up to cable - no weather channel. When I first started reading this blog, folks kept talking about a Cantori. It was a term with which I was NOT familiar, and I just could not figure out what a Cantori was. - true story
-Thanks Ossqss, I am old & still learning, night all..
Great question for Independence Day.
On June 28, 1776 (Carolina Day), one of the most decisive Patriot victories was fought on Sullivan's Island which forms a part of our harbor. The fort was hastily constructed of palmetto logs and sand. Pretty spongy walls - which worked to absorb the impact of the cannon balls.
The Crescent Moon in British heraldry stands for a second son. It was a reminder to the British that they were firing on their own.
Also, many of the early planters (investors in the colony) were second sons of families of the nobility. First sons inherited the ancestral lands - so these second sons wanted to set up their own estates - and had the money to do so.
ADDED
The crescent moon was used with the word Liberty on the flag that flew during the battle. The Palmetto tree was added later. It is one of the most recognized state symbols I have been told.
After the victory, messengers were sent to Philly where the Continental Congress was convened - took about a week. The message was that the British could be defeated. The Continental Congress was working on a Declaration the would state our independence from England. The rest is history, so when you raise that toast on the 4th - do not forget to raise one for us here in the Palmetto State.
SC fought more battles (except for NY, I believe), lost more lives (per capita) and spent more money in the cause of Independence, than any other colony
And gone, after doing a Raccoon check outside since I had one that we caught with rabies this AM.
If you see them during the day, stay away.
rabies eek!
I think we'll see a low try to develop on the tail of that front, but whether it becomes warm-core or not is something we won't know until it happens.
Levi - any thoughts on TampaSpin's view of the ULL?? Just curious. Also, I see that the tropical wave in the Eastern caribbean is still firing convection. Is this still expected to get torn apart by shear?
