11am, tropics according to Bobbi

Okay.. I was never a very numerical girl so I am going to do this according to geographics. I'm sure I'm not the only one round here who is counting on fingers thinking was that 91 or 92.. or 99...so

as I look around the basin after a double expresso for breakfast and had guarana soda for brunch (miami, dont you love it) ...

System east of the Leeward Islands:
I can't believe that is an invest. From a wide lens I can see the reason ..up close is as boring as white rolls without butter. No color on IR at all on invest. Sense of circulation there somewhere but... hasn't given it a manual on how to convect and look good at the same time. Like a bathing beauty with no brains and when you put your glasses on to see... ewww..not so beautiful.

Showers south of Cuba:
Okay.. it has a more of a circulation. I know that. Know how I know that? Cause everytime it gets some convection it loses the convection and it spirals away in some pattern. Looks like a dark dot just south of the "ISLE OF PINES" (im old school) ...but is this the system you want to prove RabbiT wrong on? Oh come on..better ways to spend a sunday.
It needs viagra to help it keep that convection in place.

THE FRONT:
Well storms do form at the end of a dangling front. Excuse me but its still horizontal and hasn't begun to dangle yet if you ask me.. if it ever does dangle will be further south I think in the bahamas not off Jax.. will see.. Its precipitating not dangling. Who the heck knows whats hidden under that white necklace of clouds?

Areas where something could spin maybe?
Maybe the gulf..
Maybe off E coast of Florida in a day or two

Lastly...what happened to the Bermuda High?
Clouds strectch almost from the dangling front all the way to the Azores.

Just goes to show you..for years SNONUT would tell me you can't tell what August will look like because June or May looked a certain way. Patterns change. Indeed they did.

Might make soup or some interesting omelet for later in the day. I need to clean up ..do somethings.. and really not in the mood. Want to just sit here, relax, read the paper, smile and occaisionally peer at the tropics and ponder.. "what the heck happened?"

However.. somewhere some old timer would tell me .. in about a week or two we will hit that week when everything suddenly forms (see TWC charts tho have always found that Landsea has better charts) and we end up with two or three systems to track and to just sit back and let climo do its job.

Okay.........I am giving it 2 weeks (TWO).. before I start ranting and raving about you know what
