Its seems that the Bermuda High is sitting over us here in the Southern parts of the USA and this is the reason we are not getting any precipation. All the systems go east and north - therefore that why all the severe weather went over the Midwest. Doesn't look like its going anywhere anything soon - there our rain chances are very slim and it will remain HOT and MUGGY. Our normal temps are 85 and 65 - but they are running at 90 and 80.

The Bremuda high will play a part in the track of CV storms this season too!!! :o

The jet stream is parallel to the surface cold front. However, the thunderstorm activity seems to have moved more southeasterly than expected... edging south of Birmingham, Alabama and Atlanta, Georgia.

Florida is still expected to remain hot and dry this week.

Looks like a seabreeze driven TS is heading your way!!!! If it's moving east..may be stationary!! I am looking at your signature radar image!! :wink:

The cold front MAY be moving a bit more southeasterly than originally expected. I am not saying that it is. It appears to be doing so more and more since the forecasts issued two to four days ago. We shall see.

Jonathan, that shower is heavy and not moving much, it isn't that far from me, but I am not being effectd by it. Sky is gray to my east (at least was before sunset).

Agree with Rainband about the bermuda high being a big factor if it stays like it is now because it will be a big problem for the caribbean as those cv storms will move west and not go fishing.

I would like to see more Bermuda highs in here in the east coast of USA. Thus could bring more 90 to 100 degree days in the NYC area as where I live.

Well its still firmly in place and looks to be hanging around in the long-range forecast here.

I am curious how this will affect the upcoming hurricane season? And how far does it extend out into the Atlantic ???

Basics of it are that with the Azores high more S than normal and the Bermuda high extending further W the tendency will be for CV storms especially to be furhter S and go further W than normal. That means The Carribean and GOM could be under more of a threat than usual as well as the FL peninsula. Of course the CV season is later in the season and things could change by then. What it means right now is that anything that pops up in the Carribean or GOM in the short term would tend to go more W, in other words more towards TX or LA.
