Anyone willing to take on this question.... Is there any connection between an active early hurricane season and a slower late season? For example- if the is more tropical activity earlier in the season it's sucks all the heat out of the ocean resulting in less hurricanes in the typically busy late season (aug and sept)?

someone here asked that question today or yesturday, the answer they were given is:
there is no evidence that early active means not active late season
i forget who answered so i am not sure of the validity of this

Actually, reading an article last night, Dr. William Gray commented that early season activity does not mean less activity or more activity throughout the season.

They've run the stats on that and there is no real correlation between activity early in the season and activity late in the season. By sheer numbers, more storms early on likely means that we will end up with more storms for the season than normal, just because a normal amount of storms later in the season still keeps you above normal for the whole year.

I was going to ask the same question! I'm south of Mobile (Bayou La Batre) and have surgery scheduled in Birmingham next Monday (18th). I should only be in the hospital overnight and then I'll have a family member drive me back home. I'll be non weight bearing for 2-3 weeks afterwards and trying to get out of here afterwards would be difficult to say the least.
I don't wish a storm on anyone, but I'm really hoping she'll stay low and stay away from the north central gulf!

Emily has a very impressive mid-level structure right now, but the surface circulation is probably just a bit weaker than it may appear for the given cloud structure. If it can slow down and consolidate under that mass, it should be able to intensify rather steadily. If not, it could be pretty slow going for a while into the eastern Caribbean for the storm. We've seen many storms with this type of satellite appearance fizzle as they reach the islands or eastern Caribbean, including Earl last year, and while I'm not suggesting that this will happen with Emily...it still has a ways to go before starting towards the 's forecast.
The projected track keeps going a little further south and is now very similar to ' through 5 days. It remains to be seen if there will be any large changes to this track or whether or not it will continue to follow in ' footsteps after day 5.

Hi,
I'm a softball coach. My team is traveling to Panama City, Fl, July 16th and staying until July 23rd for a fastpitch tournament. When would I have a idea, if or when Emily might effect the tournament.
Thanks for Any Help,
Coach Mike

Not to start playing the "watch the computer models flip flop game," but for the sake of discussion, the latest model shows a more northerly track than the previous run.
Newest: http://moe.met.fsu.edu/mm5/EMILY.track.png
Previous: http://moe.met.fsu.edu/mm5/archive/2005071200/EMILY.track.png
I was intrigued to see this, as it stands in stark contrast to the other models.

Coach Mike - probably later this week into the weekend. If she doesn't make a swing into Florida before that. I would guess as we get closer to the weekend you will have a better idea of what she is going to do.

We were there in july of 2003 for a fastpitch tournament. At that time there was a hurricane out somewhere in the distant Gulf. We had the usual afternoon thunderstorms daily and they were quite spectacular as thunderstorms go, but the bigger issue was rip tide. One softball player, in town for the tournament, was reportedly swept out, and our team watched as the coast guard tried to make a rescue. Our team, needless to say, was banned from all ocean front activities for the remainder of the World Series.

Of course, it's way too early to say anything with any degree of certainty, but I do not believe that this is going to be a Florida problem. Emily looks to be a west of New Orleans problem. That ridge is going to be awfully strong come the weekend, and I just don't see anything making it to Florida in that time frame.
