Andie Posted June 2, 2019 Report Share Posted June 2, 2019 Late May kicked off the season with my name sake. Subtropical Storm Andrea blew in from the Atlantic and maneuvered toward the Yucatán. Her legacy will be a good deal of rain moving up from the south to affect Texas and Oklahoma. 1 Quote Before You Diagnose Yourself With Depression or Low Self-Esteem,...First Make Sure You Are Not In Fact, Just Surrounded By A$$holes. “If I owned Texas and Hell, I would rent out Texas and live in Hell.” Gen.

Andie Posted July 9, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2019 The storm season is getting underway and the Gulf is certainly warm enough to support a hurricane.While this storm will likely remain a TS, we're on our way.___________________A Tropical Depression or Tropical Storm Will Likely Form in the Gulf of Mexico; Here's What We Knowhttps://weather.com/storms/hurricane/news/2019-07-05-tropical-disturbance-gulf-of-mexico-southeast-coastAt a GlanceA broad area of low pressure has emerged over the northeastern Gulf of Mexico.This is an area where July tropical storms have formed in the past.A tropical depression or tropical storm is likely to form within the next couple of days.The future track and intensity of this potential tropical system remain a bit uncertain.Heavy rain leading to flash flooding is a threat along the northern Gulf Coast, dependent on the exact track. 1 Quote Before You Diagnose Yourself With Depression or Low Self-Esteem,...First Make Sure You Are Not In Fact, Just Surrounded By A$$holes. “If I owned Texas and Hell, I would rent out Texas and live in Hell.” Gen.

Andie Posted July 11, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2019 TS Barry/Hurricane Barry - They can't pump their way out of this one. Louisiana is about to get flooded again. All flood provisions are being tested and levies may fail. They expect up to 20" of rain._____________________________________NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Tropical Storm Barry formed off the coast of Louisiana on Thursday and threatened to blow ashore as a hurricane with relatively weak winds but torrential rains that could test the flood-control improvements made in New Orleans since Hurricane Katrina 14 years ago.Forecasters said the first hurricane of the Atlantic season could hit the state’s swampy southern tip Friday night or early Saturday, with potentially ruinous downpours that could go on for hours as the storm passes through the metropolitan area of nearly 1.3 million people and pushes inland.Plaquemines Parish, at Louisiana’s low-lying southeastern tip, ordered the mandatory evacuation of as many as 10,000 people, and communities began handing out sandbags. Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards declared an emergency and said National Guard troops and high-water vehicles will be positioned all over the state. “The entire coast of Louisiana is at play in this storm,” he warned.On Wednesday, with the gathering storm still out over the Gulf of Mexico, it dumped as much as 8 inches (20 centimeters) on metro New Orleans in just three hours. The deluge triggered flash flooding in the city’s streets and raised fears about the even heavier rains on the way. National Weather Service meteorologist Benjamin Schott said the big concern is water, not wind: “Rainfall and flooding is going to be the No. 1 threat with this storm.”New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell said that the pumping system that drains the city’s streets is working as designed but that the slow-moving storm could dump water faster than the pumps can move it. “We cannot pump our way out of the water levels ... that are expected to hit the city of New Orleans,” she warned.

Andie Posted July 11, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2019 Barry threatens the new levy in terms of height.

Andie Posted July 11, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2019 The storm hasn't really dealt its heavy blow and the levy is almost at its max.17' + and it will overflow into the city.

Andie Posted July 12, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 Barry will go Cat 1 as the low lying peninsula of Louisiana prepares for major flooding. The flooding from the Mississippi is still exiting the continent as Barry enters NOLA. Officials has stated that they can not pump their way out of this despite the fact that it is only a Cat 1 hurricane. All of the state will see excessively heavy rain and flooding. Barry will move northward and the remnants will reach Illinois and Indiana. 1 Quote Before You Diagnose Yourself With Depression or Low Self-Esteem,...First Make Sure You Are Not In Fact, Just Surrounded By A$$holes. “If I owned Texas and Hell, I would rent out Texas and live in Hell.” Gen.

Wxmidatlantic Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 In the old days Barry would have been considered a "Himicane." A term used for atypical, tropical/subtropical Gulf storms. Hurricanes were only given female names. Oh, the good ol days... ITCZ looks stable and low, but it will most likely change over next 30 days. Hurricanes are nature's heat release valves for the tropics. There is always a hurricane in the Atlantic on labor day. 1 Quote A Navy Chief said, "Never change your forecast.

Wxmidatlantic Posted July 20, 2019 Report Share Posted July 20, 2019 Looks like an old frontal boundary will settle off the East Coast and meander into the Gulf next week.

Phil Posted July 23, 2019 Report Share Posted July 23, 2019 I don’t think anything will come of this one. But the wake of the CCKW passage should deliver the first legitimate burst of Atlantic tropical activity of the season as it crosses Africa/E-ATL/W-IO and those waves subsequently cross the Atlantic in the newly moistened profile more readily favorable for warm-rain dynamics.

Wxmidatlantic Posted July 30, 2019 Report Share Posted July 30, 2019 Yesterday a lot of people noticed the cyclonic spin south of Puerto Rico. The best thing that could happen to this wave happened last night. A total dissipation of mid level circulation. Convection is now concentrated NE of old center moving NW of the islands. Reginiration is possible. Something to watch. Strong wave moved of the African coast yesterday. A little early for Cape Verde, but good sign. Quote A Navy Chief said, "Never change your forecast.

Andie Posted August 2, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 I'm anxiously awaiting the first tropical storm to move north from the Yucatán.. This is usually what breaks our August heat and brings us milder temps. We've had a short summer, but we became spoiled to cooler temps and lower humidity.

OKwx2k4 Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 I like seeing the hurricanes all shunted well off the coast or sheared to death before they get anywhere near me.

Andie Posted August 5, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2019 I understand. If we are fortunate, we'll get that early northerner in September and get some refreshing air.

That previous CCKW passage didn’t pull it off but Dorian is worth watching. I think it’s more of an east coast threat than a gulf coast threat.

Andie Posted August 30, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2019 Dorian is taking a deep breath over 87* waters and she'll likely hit Cat 4 before landfall. The ugly part continues as steering winds may send the storm along the western Florida coast. The entire state will be impacted and we'll see how much it creeps along the east coast. Probably a lot of water to come after it drops to a TS.
