Whoa, Taz! We're only up to 96L right now. I'm stuck here like a thumb surrounded by hot water.

One at a time!! :)

hey its 2010

ribs and ice cream

ribs and ice cream you say...you might want to wash it down with this.

hi zoo.

goodness it's only july 4, we got how many circles out there? we gonna get wet. Ain't no if, ands, or buts about it.

:(

Quoting brla61:
Please say it aint so..Pat!

Keep the NOAA Radio in ALERT mode tonight as this is going to ramp up in Intensity maybe..
T-storm wise,..like this morning

so 09 where would 97L be going

Quoting kmanislander:


Crazy reading for sure. Don't know what to make of it other than equipment malfunction. The alternative is that 96L is faking us out LOL

Yeah, it is really strange.
All the readings look good, then "plummet"!
Makes no sense to me.

Quoting MiamiHurricanes09:
Yes pressure would go up if underwater (a little something I learned from a met on channel 7 down here in Miami).

Divers know that if buoy was actually inverted, pressure of 10meters water would be = one additional atmosphere! My hunch is not malfunction, actually. I'd guess either freakish local thunderstorm or just an accurate reading in a volatile and fast-changing environment.

hunker that was disgusting.

Poor snookums :(

thats ok i got 15,000 BTU's of ac the wife sits on sofa with a blanket today it was 68 inside 90 outside

Quoting Asta:

Good advice! and read the labels..
Make sure there is no caffeine, licorice root, or chromium picolinate.. I think that they can also make your heart race... Check with your Doctor is you ahve heart issues..
The key is:
Hydration, hydration, hydration!
and check on elderly people that you know...
they get hit harder..

Thanks, I pray & hope the folks in the NE, New England & S Ontario stay safe.

I live in N TX. We normally have 95-100F temps for about 60 days straight. We are used to the heat. It takes MANY years to acclimate to the heat. The mets in TX have a "running joke" that its not hot till it hits 100F.

STAY SAFE.

That is probably the nastiest thing ever to be created.

shocking, SVN said something informative...they must have been misreading something :)

A freak wave is a possibility, enough to damage the equipment. But I guess these things are designed for that ......

Quoting pottery:

LOL!
More likely the bouy was picked-up by an updraft and lifted to 8000 feet.
Seems to be still up there, too.
And hey, it could land in Florida, on you-know-who...

I didn't know Voldemort lived in Florida..

LOL! Well they didn't say it on TV, I was told by Phil Ferro when I went to the station.

Even though it is pouring outside the pressure is 1015 mb and rising rapidly.

Quoting atmoaggie:
Sry, just hit me that it would cause high pressure...figured I'd say as much. No biggie, of course.

Yeah, something's not right. Though, I'm pretty sure these major moored buoys have 2 barometers. I know they have 2 anemometers. Been to the workshop they are built in and deployed from, once.

(Where's that guy that had an internship at NDBC? He might know)

yes, the do. They are currently installing more on the drifters, as well.
They are still in the process of attaching as many to the Barometer ports, where they can upload to different agencies. You know the rest atmo.....

Good night all! Busy day tomorrow.

Busy day tomorrow? I think it is going to be busy (in the tropics) for the next 120 days...

The world most be exploding. Pressures sinking underwater, pressures rising under nasty rain. :)

Quoting Patrap:

i say 95L is gone lol

bwi "Maybe the buoy tipped over! Wind readings died same hour pressure plummeted."

I said earlier there is something I don't like about 96l I think she is the devil women with evil on her mind.

Quoting MrstormX:


Was someone dissing Storm? Thats no good, he is one of the best bloggers on here.

i know. storm, patrap,xcool,oz,atmo,levi,keeper, they been around for a while and have always given good advice, good opinion and explanation. i have been here for a while, and can still only ask question. they have others on here who are very good too. these are just the ones i see every year. i look forward to seeing their opinions on the tropics. i don't remember the bickering being so bad before.:)

I actually have a webcam located at the east end of Grand Cayman. Here's the thing though, it's nighttime so you can't see a thing. Lol.

wow.
goodnight.

Is it possible folks that pressures are actually falling this much? The other buoys in the area, the few that are there, have pressures near 29.80" or higher~~~

You really like it when those green spots are over my head don't you?

Quoting pottery:

I can only assume that the rain is unrelated to the core of 96L which has apparently moved out of this area, hence rising surface pressures.

Quoting kmanislander:

LOL, well that just made everything a lot easier.

Quoting Patrap:
What is Interesting is that 95L is exactly where Hurricane Cindy was in 2005,,save for a day.

Don't want a replay of Cindy.
