TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL
800 AM EDT WED JUN 5 2013

FOR THE NORTH ATLANTIC...CARIBBEAN SEA AND THE GULF OF MEXICO...

A BROAD AREA OF LOW PRESSURE OVER THE CENTRAL GULF OF MEXICO IS PRODUCING A LARGE AREA OF DISORGANIZED THUNDERSTORMS AND STRONG GUSTY WINDS OVER THE SOUTHEASTERN GULF OF MEXICO.

ALTHOUGH THE THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY ASSOCIATED WITH THE LOW HAS INCREASED OVERNIGHT...THE CIRCULATION REMAINS POORLY-DEFINED. ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS COULD BECOME A LITTLE MORE CONDUCIVE FOR DEVELOPMENT DURING THE NEXT DAY OR SO...AND A TROPICAL DEPRESSION OR STORM COULD FORM BEFORE THE SYSTEM MOVES NORTHEASTWARD OVER NORTHERN FLORIDA LATE THURSDAY OR THURSDAY NIGHT.

THIS SYSTEM HAS A MEDIUM CHANCE...50 PERCENT...OF BECOMING A SUBTROPICAL OR TROPICAL CYCLONE DURING THE NEXT 48 HOURS. AN AIR FORCE RESERVE RECONNAISSANCE AIRCRAFT IS SCHEDULED TO INVESTIGATE THIS DISTURBANCE THIS AFTERNOON...IF NECESSARY.

REGARDLESS OF DEVELOPMENT...LOCALLY HEAVY RAINS AND GUSTY WINDS ARE LIKELY OVER PORTIONS OF CENTRAL AND WESTERN CUBA...THE FLORIDA KEYS...AND THE FLORIDA PENINSULA DURING THE COUPLE OF DAYS. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS SYSTEM CAN BE FOUND IN HIGH SEAS FORECASTS ISSUED BY THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE...AND IN PRODUCTS ISSUED BY YOUR LOCAL NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE OFFICE OR NATIONAL METEOROLOGICAL SERVICE.

ELSEWHERE...TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION IS NOT EXPECTED DURING THE NEXT 48 HOURS.

HIGH SEAS FORECASTS ISSUED BY THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CAN BE FOUND UNDER AWIPS HEADER NFDHSFAT1 AND WMO HEADER FZNT01 KWBC.

And the 2013 season starts...

Posted by: hcubed, 3:11 AM GMT on June 03, 2013

Several people are predicting an active season.

When you consider that there hasn't been a Major Hurricane to hit the US mainland since 2005 (Wilma - the twenty-second storm (including the subtropical storm discovered in reanalysis), thirteenth hurricane, sixth major hurricane, and fourth Category 5 hurricane of the record-breaking 2005 season), we hope it's not THAT active.

There is a "blob" out there in the GOM (listed as 91L).

Thoughts and prayers to Moore, OK...

...where at least 24 people, including nine children, were killed, the state medical examiner's office said.

Earlier reports of 51 deaths were wrong.

The tornado itself has been upgraded to an EF5 storm.

We'll continue to keep an eye on the news, but I want everyone to be assured of one thing (paraphrasing a comment made in February by Neapolitan):

"...Only a fool would make the claim that this terrible tornado was "caused...

...and again, a math teacher should have been used.

The main blog article (submitted by Angela Fritz) has the comment:

"...The study published Thursday is the first to take so many papers and authors into account. Doing a search on the popular science article website Web of Science for "climate change" or "global warming" produces over 12,000 results. Of these, 4,014 papers were identified to state a position on climate change. Among those, 3,8...

Inconvenient questions...

Posted by: hcubed, 12:44 AM GMT on February 12, 2013

As usual, the main blog asks the question:

"...The historic Nor'easter that buried New England under up to 40" of snow Friday and Saturday was the most intense winter storm event on record for southeastern Maine, and second most for Long Island, Connecticut, eastern Massachusetts, and perhaps Rhode Island, writes wunderground's weather historian Christopher C. Burt. His rating was based upon both snowfall amounts and winds. For Long Island and Connecticut...
