Here's how it goes.When the atlantic is dead,so is the blog.They both go hand and hand like to good partners.

Yeah, its always like this when there is nothing in the Atlantic, not a even a blob to speak of.

Actually it is a scary sign, the GOM is very warm, add more fuel to the fire, and when the Bermuda High loosens its hold, we are in BIG trouble.

have a nice evening everyone, i got to go

Quoting MiamiHurricanes09:
LOL. Poof time.

Yea, I've had that blogger on ignore for a while. Tried reasoning with 'em, didn't work. Evidently, you need 6 named storms in July for a season to be remotely active to some people. Category 2 Landfall isn't good enough for them.

In a few weeks the SAL will decrease, then the Hurricane Season takes off like a rocket.

Quoting xcool:

Really? With all the fuel we have in Atlantic I would expect more than that.

Just wait till August, once the Cape Verde season gets going all hell will probably get loose :\

We have an area of above SSTs in the CATL, hurricane Alley is hot this year, thankfully dust is keeping it in check for the moment :)

I think we'll se 2-4 cat. 5's this year. How about you all?

Must say that I am in agreement with this. According to Native American prophecy this is very true.

Sea turtle egg evacuations begin along oiled Gulf of Mexico
Published: Sunday, July 11, 2010, 6:29 PM

Biologist Lorna Patrick dug gingerly into the beach Friday, gently brushing away sand to reveal dozens of leathery, golfball-sized loggerhead sea turtle eggs.
beach-sea-turle-eggs.jpgDave Martin, Associated PressU.S. Fish and Wildlife Biologist Lorna Patrick reaches into a sea turtle nest to harvest eggs from the sand in Port St. Joe, Fla., on Friday.

Patrick, of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, carefully plucked the eggs from the foot-deep hole and placed them one-by-one in a cooler layered with moist sand from the nest, the first step in a sweeping and unprecedented turtle egg evacuation to save thousands of threatened hatchlings from certain death in the oiled Gulf of Mexico.


After about 90 minutes of parting the sand with her fingers like an archaeological dig, 107 eggs were placed in two coolers and loaded onto a FedEx temperature-controlled truck. They are being transported to a warehouse at Florida's Kennedy Space Center where they will incubate and, hopefully, hatch before being released into the Atlantic Ocean.

terms to Wunderstand for this blog...

Forecaster------ Normally a Met (or one who thinks they are) advertises it as the future of the weather

Downcaster ____ one who thinks there will be very few or no hurricanes

Overcaster------- One who thinks there will be many storms and hurricanes

Flcaster------ One who thinks every hurricane will hit florida

GOMcaster------ One who thinks every hurricane will hit the Gulf..

Blogcaster----- One who puts his forecast on his own blog.. Could be video or written

Hyper caster----- one who thinks the hurricane is going north then west then south then east and west again.... Every 15 minutes because of storm wobble....

Outcaster-------- One who keeps getting band for a whole slew of reasons mostly because they are not forcasting weather.....

Please copy this list and add to it.. Should be fun...

That would be hilarious, some bloggers would probably go mad or end up bald if that happened. XD
But its practically impossible for us to end with just that one storm. :P

look like the Uncle SAL has been retreating away from our African AOI

SAL NOW



SAL FEW HOURS AGO



SAL AT 0600 UTC

I'm sorry xcool.. but exactly what inhibiting factor do you see?
SAL maybe.. didn't stop 2005.. SAL is quite normal for July. Shear? Shear is average-below average in all parts of basin. SST and TCHP? All at record levels. MJO? Has been stuck in our basin. Not many storms in July? We've already had 2, Alex crossed over into July and TD2 tried to become Bonnie. 50 people are dead or missing and 1.21 billion dollars in damage from Alex.

Awesome video! Enjoy!

Hurricane Andrew - Southeast Florida - August 24, 1992



FILMER'S QUOTE:

This is my Hurricane Andrew chase video. The footage was taken during Andrew's landfall on the Southeast Florida coast, at Coconut Grove, south of Miami. Though Andrew was extremely small, moving very quickly and made landfall about 15 miles to the south, my location was right at the edge of the hurricane's northern eyewall. Unfortunately the entire peak of the storm was at night, however, using a portable spotlight, I was able to capture footage throughout the entire event. Even with the challenging video conditions, Andrew's ferocity is clearly obvious in this footage. The roar of the wind is deafening, punctuated by breaking glass and other debris. Peak winds occur between 13 through 17 minutes into the video, and are sustained near 125-130mph with gusts near 150mph. The anemometer at the National Hurricane Center (about 2 miles west-southwest of my location) failed after recording a gust to 164mph. Based on post-analysis, Andrew is now estimated to have had sustained winds of 165mph with peak gusts near 200mph at landfall in South Florida, making it one of only three Category Five hurricanes ever to strike the United States.

List-caster's..?

I'm really really hoping that this works and the turtles don't end up sterile. Yesterday I was reading that this happened when a lot of turtle eggs had to be moved - the turtles that hatched were sterile for some unknown reason. Unfortunately there are no options other than this to give them a fighting chance. I'll be so glad when all of this mess in the Gulf is over and all cleaned up.
