So far we in Tampa Bay are north. Could be some thunderstorms pop up, we even had a tiny tornado last night. You will probably be fine. Still pay attention...
Here in Gulfport FL (Tampa Bay), we could always use a real soaker in June.
It has rained the past two nights, everything got a needed drink. But it is the early Tropical systems that make us a real tropical paradise!
Hermine was one of the three most impressive storms here in Tampa Bay over the past ten years or so. Barely scraped us, but trees and power went down. I still remember it like yesterday. What a mess!
Even if totally wrong, I'm a fan as having something to see a couple or so times a day for a couple weeks. My first 2022 season excitement! I am voting for GFS, but not betting money on it. Still worth coming to see every day what it's model predicts.
Later on may judge by what happens now, but for today, I love the Spring energy!
My wife puts on the Weather Channel for her daily afternoon nap while she is comfy in her recliner chair. I'm on my PC in my office in the next room, but in the background did I hear them talking about Tropical development in the Gulf of Mexico (based on GFS)?
GFS still spinning a storm in the Gulf. Granted, it has been all over the place, but hanging on.
It is approaching late May, we do get storms this early.
I'm not worried about a Laura, Michael, etc. But a TS would be nice.
GFS shifted south, between Cuba and Florida. Certainly it will be all over the place for the next week.
A good typical late May Tropical Storm around here would not be totally unwelcome. Although always inconvenient for some in low areas or with weak trees.
I'd love to host the first Storm of the season. No Hurricanes invited...
Has my attention. At least something to look at every day. We need rain in the Tampa Bay area, so hoping maybe a mild Tropical Storm to kick off the season.
There were a few named storms this year that in the past would not even come close. I wonder how the history would pan out if today's technology were in play 20 or 30 years ago.
One year ago today Tropical Storm Eta passed by off the coast of Tampa Bay. It was actually the local highlight of the year for us.
We had over 7 inches of rain in our yard and a few hurricane strength gusts in the middle of the night.
A lucky year for us last year, and this year was another lucky year.
My bet was a dead August and a fired up October/November. It appears my weather tarot was misread...
The cards don't lie, but interpretation is subject to human error. "Human Error" is my middle name sometimes!
Ready for that very rare snowfall in Tampa Bay. My camera is ready. But mets are predicting a long dry winter down here. If so, hope it stays warm. Cold and dry is no fun.
Today marks 100 years since a Major Hurricane hit Tampa Bay directly. The storm of 1921 was the worst in our modern history around here.
We are so lucky! And stop laughing!
