Another storm developing on the gulf now i believe! In Virginia that tropical low has been with us for a few days now, so off and on thunderstorms have been going on every afternoon but it turns down right HOT this weekend. 80s all week and 90s this weekend then upper 80s plus the humidity late next week. Summer is coming! What caused that low to stay over us for so long? if you are familiar with the tropical low staying anchored on top of the mid-atlantic. I just dont want a tropical storm to hit because that leaves me with bad thunderstorms near the Blue Ridge.
Evelyn, you are correct! The reason why we have this early season tropical storm is because of the very warm waters in the atlantic! Anytime we have a storm the warm waters will pretty much make it a major storm. Our meteorologists have told us multiple times that the waters are abnormally WARM! Think of winter.. the ocean did NOT cool off. The low snow pack, the atmosphere has made the waters so warm. The reason why this winter was so warm was because the waters didnt cool off in the Gulf of Mexico. Thanks Evelyn for the blog as always. Summertime is coming around! I hope to see some blogs about this summer so I can finally be quiet. Lol!!! Im not starting a debate about the water temperatures.. My husband happens to be a retired meteorologist also. Stay cool in the heat! Virginia is warming on up too
Thanks, Denise. The Gulf Stream is on steroids and pouring a lot of warm waters off our shores. The fishing fleets are reporting that warm water fish are arriving weeks earlier than normal.
ms Browning you POSTED the wrong link. The IMAGE you posted shows SMALL area of mildly above normal SSTA in the carib. It does NOT show abnormally HIGH SSTA...
The Atlantic Sea Temp is Abnormally LOW at the moment. Where is the Nonsense coming from?
