It’d be worse if I lived in Mobile, AL or the very western Florida panhandle I imagine, especially later tonight and tomorrow morning.
Still, to give you an idea of what things are like at 12 am EST on Nov. 10, 2009 in Goulaville: The video game geeks are dribbling into Wal*Mart to get their copy of Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. No tropical storm is going to deter them!
It’s pretty much a light rain being blown about by gusty winds right now. Good sleeping weather. I, however, have an appointment with Doctor Who: The War Games. Which will make for a late night, as it’s a four hour marathon Who, the second longest ever.
Yawn. Time to get started.

Courtesy of Rob Lightbown’s Tropical Weather Discussion today:
“We have now officially ended June with no named storms. This is the first time that this has happened since 2004.”
This is music to the ears of those of us living on the US Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic coasts.
And the good news continues: things are likely clear through the Fourth of July weekend.
This is fortunate because I haven’t done the annual “What Books Will I Take?” list yet this year. And I’ve got a few DVDs to cram into the carrying cases, too.

The first tropical disturbance of note for the year is moving off the coast of Africa, Invest AL 92. It is very early in the cycle yet, but all the computer models are high on this topical wave becoming a tropical depression in the next day or two. It is still far away from posing danger to the US. Nevertheless, I can now declare it time to back up the computer and plan out a few scenarios, once more.
Those affected or interested can check out Crown Weather’s Tropical Discussion and Colorado State University’s North Atlantic Basin graphics.
I love the summer time….
UPDATE 7-3-08 5 am Eastern: Congratulations, it’s a tropical depression. TD 2 now being advised about at the National Hurricane Center and Crown Weather’s Tropical Discussion page. Let’s hope it finds the waters off Greenland appealing.
