After 2 major direct hits the last 2 years, I can honestly say we are ready. I will be picking up the Stormbusters Saturday, raised the amount of insurance, and stocked up on everything. I remember preparing for blizzards up north. The year I was best prepared, we had virtually no snow. Hope the same holds true this year.
My dad fixed my genny last week. *sheepish* I hadn't started it since....oh....Halloween? *LOL* (My mom and dad fix small engines/mowers for a living.)
Other than that, I've been buying an extra gallon of water every shopping trip, I need to get some more tuna, but I've got batteries, boards, and peanut butter. *LOL* And propane for the little camp stove. I should get some extra 2x4's for the garage door reinforcement, but everything else is ready.
I'm hoping now that I've got everything ready, I won't NEED it! *LOL* I donated a lot of canned stuff to the food drives last holidays. (That's a great way to divest yourself of the extra food, btw! if you don't want to eat tuna for years. *LOL*)
We've finished off nearly all the "extras" in the freezers. I try to only keep what I need for that week in the freezers so I don't lose a lot if something happens. Even with the genny, I can't power BOTH fridges and the chest freezer. I figure the chest freezer will be good for consolidating everything (will stay cold a lot longer because it's a chest).

Here's an update on 93L:
93L, located around 61W and 12N, is moving west-northwestward at 15-20 mph. 93L is interacting with a large upper-level trough and upper level winds are unfavorable for any development. 93L is still producing moderate convection but nothing that would indicated strengthening. On visible satellite it appears as if the convection is starting to be sheared away, and a shear zone has appeared to have set up south of Hati producing 40 knot shear. As 93L interacts with this area, development will be close to impossible.

I'll second that
93LINVEST (estimated to be) 25kts-1013mb-(centered near) 12.8N-62.2W as of 10:45PM Eastern 
This ling has little, if any, near to mid-term hope for any significant organization.

next 2 days, should be under way too much shear. low level easterly flow in the caribbean is probably too fast for it to organize even if a coherent feature gets across. i'd say that pissant low near 26/67 has better prospects, and i wouldn't give it a snowball's chance in florida... or hell for that matter.
there isn't anything showing on model runs that i'd buy into. would be surprised if we see anything in early july based on how dead the forecast pattern looks. eventually either an wave will pick things back up, or maybe will tank and jam something out of the caribbean.

Sorry about that. I was viewing a previous tropical discussion when i wrote this and didn't realize it was an older one. I changed it to 12N.

This has nothing to do with the idea of any TC development, but I noticed last night before I went to bed that the tropical wave that was behind 93L seemed to be gaining a little more latitude than anticipated, and it seems like that trend continued overnight. At any rate it seems the high level flow has pulled some of the convective energy past 20N. I looked at the surface forecasts, and I wasn't sure if I'd remembered the previous set of images correctly, but it seemed like they nudged things a little bit north (also Stew's early morning mentioned the Dominican Republic). I think that some of the energy may possibly be as far north as Miami in a couple days.
Is that lightning that you can see on the RGB nighttime images -- the clusters of tiny bright spots?

My B.O.C. area I said could be a favorible spot a couple days ago by now with that wave has almost made it in there....there is a LLC although weak with a well defined midlevel low...and strong T-storms over the centers which are aligned and decent upper level flow...but its partially over land....if this system was 80-100miles NE of its current position we would be talking about Beryl this afternoon.

WOW that looks like a pretty big blow up of convection in the B.O.C any chance of something popping up?

JB has been watching this area and thinks the system may turn North sometime tomorrow.

Looks to me that its moving to the NW - what are everyone thoughts on this system? Will be interesting to see if it develops and heads to Texas or locations along the GOM this weekend and over 4th of July!

Movt NW now and they expect it to move north tomorrow. It sure would be nice if the Mexican radars were working. How soon before we see recon get into it ?

Mine as well dump 93L . It's off the Navy site. Hopefully 94L will soak Texas.

It will be very interesting to see where the Invest Models take 94L or if it has much of a chance to develop.

All things being equal, layer mean wind analysis at 400-850mb, 500-850mb looks like it will keep a NW track.

Looks like 94L will move inland before it has a chance to develop.There are also 2 more waves in addition to 93L and 94L.
