The Next Two Months
04:50 PM EDT - 14 March 2002 | Fifty-six Comments | Read Comments | Last 20 Comments | Newest: 07:25 PM 04-03 EDT



The next two months at Flhurricane, we'll be slowly moving over to the new 2002 look, which isn't all that different from the current one. We are changing the way talkback will work which will allow us to manage them better, and add a bunch of things for that.

The automated weather bits will change little, but we hope to have everything running by hurricane season.

Right now, we are still using the old system, and feel free to comment.

This season, I think, will be very different from the last few, so we hope to be ready.

Thanks everyone!

See that area of convection and twisting NNE of Puerto Rico. GGEM has a weak surface low develop there. Sign of things to come

Unfortunately, it wasn't me who won on Jeopardy, nor was it me who won the $48MM Powerball jackpot in Kenner last night. So I doubt I'll be flying my Cesna all over the SE hoping to catch some tropical action this year. But yeah, it is good to see everyone creeping back in (what's up Colleen?). Maybe 'always positive' Shawn from Houston and some of the guys from the MS Coast will be back by June.

"The Atlantic Ocean looks slightly more conducive to hurricane formation as sea surface temperatures have risen and, we believe, will continue to rise," he said.

Conducive mean better conditons for hurricane.

friday, april 5th. bet he'll either hack off a tropical storm or cut a few named storm days/net cyclone activity points.
two more months outside of hurricane season, but probably four months until things start happening. still forever and a day away.

Good Post! And I have to Concur with both guys in the Article; the ingredients for a season like '95/'96 are there, but how strong will El Nino be. Current forecasts are for weak El Nino, BUT that could change rapidly as we saw in '97. Though there was no El Nino officially in place this past winter, the Sub Tropical jet kept Pacific air through the South up into the NE US all winter. IF it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, is it El Nino


Storm warnings up on MS Gulf Coast (#52)

Hello everyone, been a long time since I've posted on this fine web site... But now I have something to post as the first storm of the season is expected to hit the MS coast this weekend...Storm warnings are up from Biloxi MS, to New Orleans LA. "Black Spring Break" is forecasted to hit the MS coast Friday afternoon and linger around for at least two more days... Two years ago BSB was a Category 4 storm with significant damage to the coast area in terms of emotion distress, unbelievable traffic congestion and significant revenue losses due to business closings. Biloxi was totally unprepared for the number of spring breakers that showed up in 2000. Last year the storm was only a weak Category 2 as the police crackdown quite hard on the unsuspecting spring breakers. Actually I'm rather surprised that they are going to return to Biloxi after what happened last year (some are planning to celebrate spring break in New Orleans) .. No telling what this year will bring.... Regardless, I will have a bird's eye view for what ever happens as I live right in the middle of ground zero, on the beach on Hwy 90! My wife and most of my neighbors are planning to evacuate the area for the weekend, however, I am looking forward to riding out the first storm of the season... at least I don't have to put up any plywood on my windows.... hehe (some interesting things will no doubt happen on the beach in front of my house this weekend)

On a more serious note, looking forward to a very interesting hurricane season, and all the great weather forecasts, information and outstanding comments which will be posted throughout the season on this web page....

Well my confidence is growing that El Nino will be weak. So plan on more storms this hurricane season. Watch out Frank P storm looks intense!!!

That was hillarious. BSB got major press in N.O. last year. They said the cops were ruthless and the traffic was insane. We were supposed to be the playaz this year, but because Jazzland is mired in Chapter 11, the expected concerts were all cancelled. That should lead more sun seekers your way.

Batton down those hatches and take down those rebel flags :)
