Heather & MichaelA,
Interesting Heather. Critters do know stuff (or feel) that I'm sure humans don't understand. Just making sure of the survival of their species I guess.
Michael, The cones are green, green, green. Don't know. Unfortunately I didn't pay much attention to the color of the cones when they liked them the most.

This is the point forecast for my area - long term.......

.LONG TERM (SAT NIGHT - THU)...SUBTLE DIFFERENCES STILL EXIST IN THE
MODELS SO WILL CONTINUE TO USE A BLEND DURING THIS TIME FRAME. AT THE
BEGINNING OF THE LONG TERM REMNANT TUTT CELL MOVING WEST NORTHWEST
OVER THE NORTHEASTERN GULF GETS ABSORBED INTO THE SERN U.S. UPPER
TROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT AS THE ATLANTIC UPPER/SURFACE RIDGE SLOWLY
BUILDS WEST NORTHWEST. DURING MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY THE SERN U.S.
UPPER TROUGH RETROGRADES WEST-SOUTHWEST AS THE ATLANTIC RIDGE BUILD
TOWARDS THE CAROLINA'S WITH ATTENDANT SFC RIDGE AXIS SHIFTING NORTH
OF THE FORECAST AREA. DEVELOPING MOIST EAST TO SOUTHEASTERLY WIND
FLOW AROUND THE RIDGE WILL FAVOR HIGHEST CONVECTIVE COVERAGE SETTING
UP OVER WESTERN MOST SECTIONS DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS.
IN ADDITION MODELS SHOW A FAIRLY STRONG TROPICAL WAVE APPROACHING THE
BAHAMAS ON TUESDAY...THEN MOVING WEST INTO THE ADJACENT GULF DURING
LATE WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY.

Guess they are thinking it will go in the gulf.

Time for bed - up at 4 in the am.

Night all, Hoot
