1. Thanks for the heads up

It's never too early to keep an eye out.

3. Well, we just had a tornado that did a mess o'damage in REVERE of all places!

Nothing shocks me any more!

[steve2470]

4. yea sorry to hear that !

I only learned of northeastern tornadoes recently. Kind of like it snowing in Florida, happens infrequently.

5. The weather this past year has been crazy...

I never saw so much snow this winter since the late sixties/early-to-mid seventies!

6. we've dodged many bullets in Florida the last several years

Since 2004, when we got hit by FOUR hurricanes, it's been fairly quiet. Hopefully this year will be the same, for all of us.

7. We actually wish this was coming through the Caribbean sea

We really need some rain.
Could be a TD later today. The longer she (will be TS Bertha they say) takes to form, the greater chance of reaching the mainland.

8. Right now it looks doubtful at best.

It still has a nice spin but the thunderstorm activity is struggling with dry air. As of this morning, almost all the weather models kill this thing north of the Bahamas.

I think the wave right behind it will suffer the same fate. It looks like there some good storms over Uganda that could be something in a couple weeks when the climate is traditionally more favorable for formation.

Thanks for spreading the word about Weather Watchers!

9. question

If you prefer not to answer, I understand. Do you have formal meteorological training ? I've just picked up information over the years myself.

10. Unfortunately just another average weathernut.

However I spend my days frequently perusing hurricane blogs and forums of people that are weather experts, most notably wunderground's Dr. Masters and the Storm2k tropical weather forum.

11. thanks for the new forum info ! nt

14. Storm2K is the BEST!

Addictive as hell during hurricane season.

15. I know, right!

I just need to look at one more model before bed. Ok maybe one more. Ok this the last one, I swear.

Didn't realize there was a "Weather Watchers" group!
