Hurricane Season Blog #16: Daily Update - Tropical Update -
Hey, Miami! You want to see one of my Paintbrush ones?
Yo! All the ones you mentioned have to take naps you know! Simon and Tdude and PcolaDan can stay up longer.
Are you talking about the surface low near Columbia at 48 hrs. Tracking along the Central American coast through 144 hrs on the 12z?
no I am talking about the area in the EATL
12Z GFS at 90 hours
I can't remember the brand name I used to use but it is stuff one adds to gasoline being stored to keep it from deteriorating. I'm no chemist so don't know how or if it really works. They sell it with all the other "magic snake oils" in the automotive section or at an auto parts supply. Lows probably carries something.
I'm here.. just being bored is all. I doubt what the GFS is predicting will actually come to actuality unless it continues to show model support for about 4-5 days and other models pick up on it.. then I give it merit.

That is the dispersant chemical.
Starting fluid and carb. cleaner will help to dissolve the gum / varnish and other deposits. I eould try a small amount of 92 octane gas and then try the different cleaners. May need starting fluid in teh carb to get it to fire up. Might want to check the plug and plug gap too. It wouldn't eb the first time a generator shipped with no plug gap.
Clearwater Beach has a water temp of 89 and Key West is about 91.
It's not even summer yet. Can you imagine a cat 2-3-4...going over that?
Someone is going to pay a big price....unfortunately.
Stabil is no snake oil... Works great. Although I prefer to rotate my fuel supplies anyways. Now you all have reminded me I need go fire up the generator to make sure it is working and put some more stabil and fresh fuel in.
I use it every once in a while to heat my hot water up. (got to put a load on a generator - not good to just let them idle that is how they "gunk up".) I let it burn about a gallon off and then put a fresh gallon in. hate to spend time to do it, but I would like it to start when I really need it.

Definitely not snake oil in my opinion. The stuff has been around for decades and it really works.
No one can imagine.. that's just stunning.
Don't even go there. Its not like I am going to leave anyway.
Good evening. I use Seafoam. Bought it at Advanced Auto Parts. Had gas from 3 years ago and treated it with Seafoam and put it in my boat. Ran great!
I don't remember seeing water temps this warm in 2009 in early June.
Gulf is on fire...mid-upper 80's...near 90!
Or can I safely assume that the rest of you are sane?
? I read it all. What are we missing?
Oh! My mistake. Short term trend in the the GFS has been to move this first set of well-defined waves up out of the ITCZ. It has not happened yet-west they go. But I bet it will happen sooner or later!
But you are correct, imo. Certainly the best modeled presentation of something coming off the African coast this year. We'll see.
Another good product. There are a lot of good diesel fuel supplements as well. (seafoam is one of them too)
That may just be transient, it got up there about a week ago and cooled down.
My Mac does the same thing. It drives me nuts!
Wasn't even that warm at this time in '05.
I wonder if I switch from Safari to Firefox it will work. I am gonna try. I will let you know.
As of June 8th, 0-0-0
That's probably going to change in the next 4 weeks to along the lines of 3-1-0 with those SSTs and TCHP in the Atlantic.
It has cooled off a few degrees in ECFL tonight and is actually very pleasant! Nice seabreeze this afternoon, too. That plus a dip in Mom's pool and I'm feeling glad to be alive.
Anyway, not sure how many of you caught Dr. Masters' podcast today, but it was packed full of really good information.
One point of note is he expects the Atlantic anomalies to even out by July with the trades picking up and La Nina taking over where El Nino left off; this will result in the SSTs in the Atlantic returning to normal levels.
He doesn't expect another 2005 this year either, so this is the first good news I've heard in a while.
Also, the Hurricane Hunters are going on a record number of missions this year; they are particularly interested in rapid intensification, so I hope Skye Pony will be around to keep us all up to date and informed on those events.
True, but the trend is slightly higher then a week ago.
Thanks Good Ole Bud Sir...
Nothing that I'm aware of. Just wanted to find out if anyone else shared my madness.
There were lots of cloudiness and rainfall activity during that time period.
