For those of us who live in the South East and Eastern U.S., it started off late this year, but it is here. Hurricane Season has arrived. Already, our first storm was a major hurricane, first threatning the Carolinas as a storm, then moving off Virginia to form into a category three monster. It was even forecast to go all the way up to Britian as a hurricane, but then meandered about and died down.
Since then, another tropical system had started forming in the Caribbean. It died down, but it's remnants are in the southern Gulf, and show signs of reorganization.
But now there is a third tropical system on the brew, having just been numbered, about 50 miles south of Grenada, near the winward islands. In about 5 days, it is forecast to be moving into the Gulf of Mexico as a Category 1 hurricane, with no land or unfavorable atmospheric conditions to interrupt it's strenghtening. Now, if this forecast proves to be accurate, I am thinking that, from the plot of the path, that inside two weeks Texas or Louisiana could be seeing a major hurricane, because, as warm as the Gulf waters are, at it being already a hurricane, there is a very definite possibility that it will strengthen a lot more.
Well, that is my up to date hurricane watch. I'm Park Kraken, your hurricane fanatic, posting now.
