Memorial Day Weekend Area to Watch
|
Just watched Denis Philips weather cast and he was talking about models hinting a surface low developing in the Caribbean by Friday time frame. He doesn't expect anything to develop majorly. Gulf waters are in the upper 70's and the waters around here have cooled since mid May due to the persistent easterly wind blowing through for the last 8-9 days have caused upwelling in the Gulf.
But rain is what we need and we need it badly. So hopefully, if anything, we get some moisture to create the sea breeze showers and storms.

The forecaster on Channel 6 in Miami-Fort Lauderdale was saying tonight that Lake Okeechobee is within an inch of its all-time low and probably will get there in the next day or two unless there's some unexpected rainfall. The most stringent water restrictions I can remember in 20 years of living here have been imposed, and the landscape is starting to look like my parents' yard in Arizona. A rainmaker (so long as it's accompanied by minimal severe weather) would be most welcome here -- even if it means a soggy, gloomy weekend.

Re: Western Caribbean on the Day Before Hurricane Season

Can't wait for the rain, my lawn and the school behind me sure need it. Only thing I am concerned about is even if it rains for a few days, we're still going to be so far behind in rainfall amounts and brutal sun will just dry it up in no time. We need this thing to sit right on top of Florida for more than a few days.
