Just what I need. Headed out from Destin offshore for a Shark Tournament and will be out 150nm south of P'Cola come tomorrow morning early am and returning Sun. Nite. We should be ok, will be in a 58' Hatteras, but may make for lots of bobbing if this area in the Gulf develops anything.

Don't worry, no development. Could be a few scattered storms out there. GFS indicating ESE-SE winds 8-12 kts Sat-Sun with waves in the 2-3 ft range. Looks reasonable. Good sharkin' weather.

A little ot, but... I did all my sharkin' off my surfboard or the beach in P'cola. Who needs a boat? :cheesy:

Have to admit I caught a few sharks offshore here in TX though. Good eatin'!

It's being sheared pretty good but check out the little swirl @26.4 N 86.75 W before daylight is gone.

Is this the weather that is supposed to head towards the MS and LA coastlines and bring lots of rain? We've had pretty good rains here but we can still use some more. Our local MET as well as a few of the NOLA Mets have mentioned the possibility of our area receiving some rain from this system.

I've been gettin' some mighty good rains here this morning and I hear more thunder to my south and more rain seems to be headed my way according to the latest radar. My brother in SE Texas would sure like to have some of this rain.

Quick moving Upper Low should help us with increased rain chances tomorrow into Monday in SE TX. :wink:

I hope that you good neighbors there in Texas get the much needed rainfall of which you are in dire need. We could use some more here in SW LA as well, but I know that you need it more (fingers crossed for luck for you).

It's raining here tonight which is good and it's forecasted to rain for much of the day later today which is also good.

Extreme downpours with lots of thunder and lightning today. We had three rounds of it.

Lots of cloud cover and thunder here today but not a drop of rain in my neck of the woods.
