Tropical disturbance in the North Atlantic likely to develop
Although the non-tropical low pressure system in the North Atlantic has moved little during the past several hours it has become better defined with increasing organization of the associated thunderstorm activity. The low is located 230 miles south-southeast of North/South Carolina border.
Conditions are gradually becoming more conducive to its development to a subtropical cyclone within the next 24 to 48 hours. A reconnaissance aircraft is scheduled to fly over the storm and further in investigate it. 90L is expected to drift northward over the next few days. With the low out in the Atlantic, heavy rains are expected over the coast southeastern portion of the United States over the next several days. The chance of 90L forming into a Tropical Storm in the next 48 hours is 70 percent at present according to the National Hurricane Center.

Hurricane season starts June 1st. So far, we are in an unprecedented (in the modern record) strong hurricane drought:
Experts: Hurricane activity at 45 year low, USA major hurricane drought almost a decade
Warming…stupid voice recognition
Are you certain it wasn’t a Freudian slip? I actually like the idea of “Global Woman.”
Every now and then, to make things more lively, I mention to my wife that chaos and confusion have been the result of women getting the vote. I point out the very first thing that happened was that alcohol became against the law, which only created outlaws and made gangsters rich. She laughs and makes some points about “Global Men”, but the ace I have up my sleeve is this simple fact:
Hurricanes have been better behaved since they started naming every other one after men.
Ahhh…I love the women’s movement….especially from behind!
They seem to have named it sub-tropical storm Ana. I thought they were only allowed to name tropical storms and hurricanes?
Rich.
lol they name little winter storms now too..I have no idea why..well maybe I do
The NHC (nor any group in NOAA) does not name winter storms. The Weather Channel does it.
Speaking of hurricanes and typhoons, Typhoon Noul was projected to reach 120 kts at peak. It is currently spinning at 130 kts as it passes offshore of the Phillipines. It is now forecast to reach winds of 140 kts by this evening before dropping back to 120 kts 12 hours later. The Phillipines is going to get drenched.
Nature is a mother. Hence the “she.”
Isn’t it about time for NOAA to predict another “heavier than normal” hurricane season that will be trumpeted throughout the liberal press as proof of global warming, only to quietly slink away in November when we have yet another season with far fewer storms than normal?
