ocala Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Can you guys recommend a good hurricane tracking software? The current software I am using keeps crashing and I would like to try something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flwxwatcher45 Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 let me know when to put two eyes on this ..... just kidding. second eye has been wavering over Well the 850 MB vorticity has improved today and the models have initialized this poorly so far. The islands look like they might be the biggest obstacle for 90L. Keeping fingers crossed. Hopefully we can soon have a hurricane party. We can use your cook-out menu, wings, smoked fish and shrimp fried rice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turtlehurricane Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Large thunderstorm complex associated with the tropical wave is rolling into Broward and Dade now, TONS of lightning shooting across the sky. One flash every 2 seconds or so. I bet there's gonna be some extremely heavy downpours in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it might be fairly common, since the sound it made is similar to thunder I've heard many times before. I just usually don't see the lightning that caused it. The sound it made was like dozens of quick thunder cracks, that combined into one long thunder roll, if that makes any sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes perfect sense. I have heard thunder like that up in the mountains and it just goes on forever. Really cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toad strangler Posted July 23, 2011 Author Share Posted July 23, 2011 Toad strangler due west of me by just a few miles. I am watching it and it is watching me. Neither of us making a move. Edit ---- Strangler update ---- that toad just west of me sat there for well over an hour and rained itself out. Never moved. I would like to see those totals reported tomorrow.

dolebot_broward_nw Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Hot miserable weekend just passed. Nothing down here in the way of rainfall, just hotter and stickier than usual. 90L is progged to throw some moisture up here in the short term (Tuesday night into Wed) so lets hope the flow keeps the storms around the coast, or at least lets some rainfall happen here before moving into the swamp.

I have a feeling the lid will soon come off the tropics .After looking at the the EURO SLP charts for the next few months, plus the fact some pro mets are hyped about the next few months, I have no doubt that Florida will get some action this year. Life is good, main part of cane season will soon be upon us and football season will soon be starting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
