This place seems about as dead a 3 o'clock...so, I figured let's get this place hoppin'.

 

Make your predictions for the first tropical system of the 2014 Atlantic Hurricane Season here...I'll provide mine after some more thought!

 

Are we going with the first tropical depression or the first named storm?

You can do either...when I used the word "system" in naming this thread I was thinking depression.

 

Ok then....Tropical Depression it is. My guess is June 25th in the western Gulf of Mexico / Bay of Campeche. By that time, we have a greater than 50% chance of seeing the first tropical activity.

I never posted my official prediction...

The first system to have advisories written on them will somewhere on either side of Florida and then go off the East Coast...this will happen late week in June.

Need a date :)

August 1st. Joyful end to the most boring weather pattern in years. I do find it interesting that the latest first tropical storm on record during the satellite era was Sept 11th in 1941.

Where is the best location to track historical water temp trends? Temps off the east coast do seem frigid for this time of year. 60's and low 70's off the carolina coast.

Well, we have a lemon this morning by the Yucatan, with a 0% chance of forming in the next 48, 10% in the next 5 days.

 

1. A stationary trough of low pressure interacting with a largeupper-level low is producing widespread cloudiness and disorganizedshowers over much of eastern half of the Gulf of Mexico and acrossthe Yucatan Peninsula. Environmental conditions are expected toremain unfavorable for the development of this system as it moveslittle this week.* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent* Formation chance through 5 days...low...10 percent

3peat? Didn't we tie last year or something.. And didn't I win two years ago? I dunno... I can't remember to be honest. LOL! Too busy. :/

Lol, in your dreams weatherboy!  And there's records to back my claim :)   And I like my chances this year too.... I just can't seem to get my 6 inches of sleet, for some reason.... but it's coming. 

  Let's see...you've gotten to see hail, right?  How about flooding from a cutoff TD, or a100 plus winds from a hurricane in Columbus?  I'm sure Ga. has more to offer you  weather wise, though I guess the latter two are things you could could easily see back home. T

Ha! Flooding I've seen, but not from a TD or anything like that. I haven't experienced 100 mph winds, but was close with Charley. However, I'd never want to see that here in the Columbus area... Just... No... LOL!
