Re: alma starts a fight

As long as the high to the north of us remains in place, it really doesn't matter too much what the name of the disturbance down south of us is called. It likely won't affect us here in the US. However, looking ahead, there is a push of energey entering the north-west US that will probably induce that high to move off to the east in a few days which will put us on the reverse flow side of that high pressure area that has been blocking all of the tropical moisture to our south. When that happens, any remnants of Alma, or TD1 or just the leftover moisture will start to be drawn NW then N into the GOM where it could get caught up in the tail end of a front. This is a classic scenerio this time of the year for the start of the wet season and given the energy already evident in the Western Carribian, I wouldn't be surprised to see somethind develop, but I don't think it would be a direct continuation of Alma or TD-1, possible, but unlikelly.
