It's a boring time in the Kingdom of the Tropics

#1 Postby **HURAKAN** » Sat Apr 15, 2006 1:18 pm

Well, there is no prospective in the Atlantic that at least is worth a word of any discussion, and around the world it's the same story. Lets just enjoy this peaceful time because as summer heats up, the same will happen with the tropics. By the way, historically speaking, the first named system in the EPAC is about a month or so away.

I was at the beach today in Boca Raton and there was bright blue sky all across the the coastline of South Florida. There probably wasn't a cloud for 5000 miles out in the Atlantic it is so quiet right now.

But I was also thinking - we have another 1 1/2 months until the season begins - so things could change quickly... :eek:

for now I am just enjoying the tropical blue skies 8-)

TROPICAL CYCLONE OUTLOOK
for the Coral Sea West of Longitude 160 East
Issued at 2:30pm on Saturday the 15th of April 2006

At the present time there are no significant tropical disturbances in the Coral
Sea.

A weak low in the Solomon Sea is forecast to move toward the central or
northwest Coral Sea over the next few days. However, no significant development
is likely during this time and the system therefore has a low potential of
developing into a tropical cyclone.

The 2006 Atlantic Hurricane Season have better be boring(i.e. no land-falling systems,unless it is a soaking T.D. to the dryer parts of the US coastline and inland where it is badly needed.....

I personally hope after last year that this year is a boring hurricane season. I frankly wouldn't mind a season like 1997 or even 1914 (only one TS that year, did not become a hurricane).
