Why is everyone captivated on Ivan? It's dead!!!

[corpusbreeze]

Local mets here in Corpus are starting to take notice. They have yet to use the H word yet. Looking at heavy rain this weekend. Radar out of S. Florida looks very interesting. Texas may be up to the plate to bat .

Maybe if the ULL makes it to the surface. Time will tell. If it was a surface Circualtion I'd be worried. Prob just some rain

[Ripopgodazippa]

Enough!!!

If you can help me spot the remains of Ivan so I could better understand your wish-casting, please do so!

A remnant of Ivan circles back to drop rain on damaged Florida


Associated Press

MIAMI - Days after vicious Hurricane Ivan ripped through Florida, a shred of the storm circled back south and brought more rain Monday to the storm-weary state.

Hurricane Ivan hit Florida Thursday, spawning deadly tornadoes and crunching communities with 130 mph wind. The storm weakened and broke apart as it traveled north, drenching southern and mid-Atlantic states before returning to the ocean.

Though most of Ivan drifted away, one part turned southward, growing slightly as it traveled over warmer waters before reaching Florida's southeastern coast.

The storm dropped one to two inches on some parts of Florida Monday, and was expected to cross into the Gulf of Mexico by Tuesday morning, said Brian Jarvinen, a forecaster at the National Hurricane Center.

"We're going to wait and watch and see what happens," he told The Associated Press. "There's a chance that it may develop into a system, possibly into a depression."

If the storm strengthens into a tropical depression, it will likely be renamed, Jarvinen said.

Gov. Jeb Bush, returning from a tour of the damaged Panhandle region, noted the remnant's return for a mild second slap at the state.

If the storm strengthens into a tropical depression, it will likely be renamed, Jarvinen said.

Biggest quote of the day from Jarvinen ... right now, according to the TWD at 8:05 PM EDT ... conditons are not favorable for development of the new invest at this time ... in fact, an upper trough is fracturing off and appears to be forming an upper low in the E GOM, hindering development further, although increasing moisture ...

...DISCUSSION...

GULF OF MEXICO...
MID/UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WHICH MOVED OFF THE E COAST OF THE UNITED
STATES YESTERDAY HAS AMPLIFIED SW INTO THE GLFMEX WITH AXIS
EXTENDING FROM N FLORIDA TO THE BAY OF CAMPECHE. ATTENDANT
SURFACE COLD FRONT IS PUSHING SWD OVER THE W ATLC AND FLORIDA
JUST S OF LAKE OKEECHOBEE. THE UPPER TROUGH IS ACCOMPANIED BY
SIGNIFICANTLY DRIER AIR IN THE MIDDLE TO UPPER LEVELS COVERING
ALL BUT THE EXTREME SE PORTION OF THE GLFMEX.  AS A
RESULT...DEEP CONVECTION IS PRIMARILY CONFINED OVER INTERIOR
MEXICO AND THE YUCATAN PENINSULA WHERE MOISTURE IS MORE
PREVALENT. AT THE SURFACE...1008 MB LOW WHICH FORMED FROM THE
REMNANTS OF T.D. IVAN IS LOCATED JUST OFF THE SE COAST OF
FLORIDA NEAR THE ISLAND OF BIMINI IN THE BAHAMAS.  WHILE THERE
ARE NO SIGNS OF DEVELOPMENT...THE SYSTEM IS PRODUCING SCATTERED
TO LOCALLY NUMEROUS SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS ALONG THE E COAST OF
FLORIDA PRIMARILY FROM PALM BEACH NWD TO CAPE CANAVERAL. THIS
ACTIVITY SHOULD SPREAD SLOWLY WESTWARD ACROSS CENTRAL PORTIONS
OF FLORIDA TONIGHT WITH LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL.  LATEST WATER
VAPOR ANALYSIS INDICATES THAT THE UPPER TROUGH IS FRACTURING
FORMING A BROAD UPPER LOW OVER THE E GLFMEX.  THIS UPPER LOW IS
EXPECTED TO DRIFT SLOWLY WESTWARD PRODUCING AN INCREASINGLY
DIVERGENT PATTERN OVER THE N GLFMEX DURING THE NEXT 24 HOURS.
THIS SHOULD ALLOW INCREASING CLOUDINESS AND SHOWERS/
THUNDERSTORMS PRIMARILY N OF 25N.

Ivan spared me, but he's going to get me after all. A tall tree fell and is being held up by the end of a large Oak tree branch over my pool. No tree people can come for 2 weeks --- so if it gets even a little windy the tree could fall into the pool. I just hope he really does go to Texas.

It should just be rain, not any real wind with these remnants of Ivan.
Kind of freaky though......
Knowing you're getting some of what others got from Ivan's rain.

A friend just called to tell me
that FOX news said that Ivan
may be regenerating in the Gulf
and affecting Texas

Local met just stated that there will probably not be any development with this system - just some rainfall. Could definitely use it.
