Still naked on the NW Quad. Nothing will happen fast until it wraps itself.

Location: Clearwater, Florida ~3 miles from the coast now. We finally moved safely off the barrier island!

as posted earlier... 1/2 the models show a continued weakness in the ridge 5+ days out, others show the ridge temporarily weakening and then trying to build back slowly to the west, but hten weakening again. we need a few more days to know how strong, and persistent, that ridge is going to be.

I guess we also need to start looking at any ridging over TX that could be there in by next weekend and/or any early season fronts that could be traveling across the lower states by then in case they could be players too.

I'm sorry but after last season you need to explain to me what all the excitement is about. No one, I repeat no one needs another hurricane along the GOM or even Eastern U.S. coastline.

Barbados' Grantley Adams Airport reporting sustained winds to 38mph from the south at 1830Z ( 230pm) .

I have seen rain reports from the islands of averaging 30mm at least from Barbados and Tobago and over 60mm from Trinidad since yesterday.

Well, it ends the lull, so I can understand the excitement. And I'm sure Brent doesn't want a hurricane hitting land either.

because we are meteorologists (or weather enthusiasts) and enjoy the weather (but don't wish death/disaster on anyone). Why can't we just all agree on this and let it drop?

The excitement is probably because there are now 2 storms out there at the same time for the 1st time this season.

Apparently the lid has been blown off the Atlantic Ocean's pot..

What was wrong with the "lull"? I just don't figure it. I pray that none of you guys don't regret what you are all now excited about.
