Looks like a flare up in the gulf. A couple of models hinted last week on possible gulf development. Comments please.

There seems to be some disturbed weather in the western BOC. Doesn't look organized right now but if it persists into tomorrow it could bear watching. This is the time of year the GOM develop heats up again with fronts stalling in the GOM.

GOM...haven't heard that term in a while. ;)

If this thread doesn't get buried, maybe one of our experts will comment.

But if anything develops or is down there the frontal boundary will squash it - the front is suppose to be in or thru Houston by Monday......

Comments welcome.

That would be good because being in Florida I think we are more likely to see something that formed in the GOM this time of year than in the Atlantic..

I'll be watching the GOM closely too as I believe any development west of Tampa might have an impact on the ability of the blocking ridge to keep Isabel in check.

Tomorrow will be an interesting day.

Okay Azskyman - you are left me hanging - is there any potential development tomorrow in the GOM? And how will that affect Isabel - specifically?

As u know I'm always on top of things in the GOM.

34% of new orleans storms to go

#14 Postby john186292 » Mon Sep 15, 2003 7:00 am

History of all storms in or near new orleans, shows 34% ...approx...still to go. Ignoring the scattered ones late in oct and nov. That means each day in the last half of sept. and two days at beginnng of oct., will knock off two percent of remaining risk. One percent every twelve hours.
We need orbital sunshade to cool the waters to the temp. in May, ending most storms forever. See CBS report...use google for link.

Sometimes they manage to slip through the fronts in late September. Can we say Georges? lol.

(<---newbie... watch out for sharp hills and valleys in learning curve)

It looks like there is some circulation, but none of the sites I look at have given it even a passing mention.

I'm curious too.
