Ugh. Going outside with our new puppies in the heat is rough. Glad I don't work out in it all day.

Is there an area where we can post question/answer type questions? I had a question about the way invests are tagged, but I didn't want to ask in the wrong spot. :)

Also, the coast of Texas is so hot right now, I honestly don't know how anyone is vacationing here. We did have a couple of quick showers earlier so at least that helps with the drought situation.

I mean you could probably ask in this thread and get an answer. If you'd like to make a post to ask your question, I would post in the Talkin' Tropics Forum.

95L, it's a long way out, but the Gulf might be on deck.

Honestly I'm not even sure lol. I mean it obviously has to have some model support or chance to develop but beyond that I've seen no consistency or rule that exists like getting named. They took forever to invest the storm that became Alberto but others languish for days on end it seems. If someone has a better answer you're free to correct me but all these years following the tropics as a casual watcher thats what I've noticed

Hopefully 95L can break this pattern

NE TX got the MCS around midday today. Severe warnings for 70 mph in Longview. I'm out of town but we lost power for a few hours and got a few tenths of an inch. First rain in a couple of weeks.

Thank you! I have questions about this..... AL, 95, 2024062618, , BEST, 0, 100N, 305W, 20, 1012, Now I know the AL is atlantic, the 95 is the invest number, 2024062618 is the date and the run, the 30.5W and 10.0N is where the storm is located, the 20 is wind speed, and the 1012 is its pressure....I was just curious what the BEST and 0 are for.

Best is just the best track. The NHC keeps a record of everything starting at invest and beyond every 6 hours. Not sure about the zero

The 0 after BEST is the TAU value. This is the number of hours from the forecast valid time (always 0 for best track). Negative TAUs are used for CARQ and WRNG records.

It seems part of what's throwing a wrench into things is the fact that the La Nina transition is taking longer than originally modeled, as it appears we're going to be in a neutral ENSO state for much of the Summer instead.

It's also having some implications thus far for the predictions on the East Coast and the Upper Midwest, as the pattern has been (and for the forseeable future, looks to be) a lot more trough-y after last week's dirty ridge.

BTW, it seems Saharan Dust will soon be another complicating factor with us potentially entering a heat feedback loop, similar to 2022...

I'm getting really tired of every summer lately having heat indexes over 115

I wish Beryl would help us out but I'm not very optimistic

We have to watch the system behind Beryl as well. IMO, the tropics are the only thing to talk about regarding the weather right now.
