Just back in from Western NY State and there's what, 200 posts I had to read? LOL. So I paid little to no attention to the weather because I was determined to stay offline and also because it was mid-90's in NY anyway.

I caught the news today and there was a tornado warning up in Washington Parish in the Eastern corner of LA just south of where Mississippi sits on top of it. We didn't get any rain here in N.O. and it was up to like 97 today. However, if this nice little line of yellows and reds that are about to slam Frank P can hold together for another hour, we'll get a chance to cool off tonight.

I don't see a whole lot going on in the Gulf outside of the low pressure itself. There is very little convection tonight, but I do expect it to perk up tomorrow. I think it's 50/50 that by Tuesday we'll be dealing with a minor tropical storm on the South Texas coast. Let's just hope it doesn't move on into central TX and compound those flooding problems.

Anyway, I'm glad to be back and hope everyone had as great of a 4th of July as I had! Woo Hoo!
