Don't go to florida blob, come to SE TX and Louisiana where we REALLY need the rain. The last time we received an inch or more of rain was April 8, and the last measurable rain at my house was April 24. Brein, did you know the airport received .26" of rain yesterday? So I think this means that it won't officially be the driest May ever. Rob said on the news that we can look forward to tropical moisture and much better rain chances next week. Let's hope that we can stop worrying about not getting enough rain in June and start focusing on the TROPICS!

Just saw our local met again, he said that tropical moisture from some sort of storm in the Pacific will begin to move into our area by the beginning of June. Until then, my hand and the hose will continue to be the best of friends! :lol:

Never was a threat. For something like that to develop, it has to move into an area of high vorticity, which is what Allison did

Hang in there the RAIN will come eventually!!! :wink:

Rainband you did see a circulaton right well it was a mid level circulation but that was all because shear is too strong and that system didn't have all along favorable conditions but neverless it was interesting to watch today.

1) Convective Fart

3) Tropical Thingy

4) Tropical Disturbance

5) Tropical Depression

6) Tropical Storm

7) Hurricane

Thanks for the info! Upon further investigation, I have discovered that something can go from a convective fart to a tropical storm or hurricane very quickly in the minds of a wishcaster.

Allison would have been considered a "convective fart" and she was a JOKE of a tropical storm.......until she made landfall. Unfortunately, she wasn't just in the mind of a wishcaster. :roll:

wow also note the amount of thunderstorm activity South of New Mexico! could it be the monsoon starting there?

The interesting thing about Allison (which has gone unnoticed by many) was that careful re-analysis determined that the origins of Allison can be traced to the Eastern Pacific.

Thanks for that information!!! I think I heard that somewhere already :wink:

At any rate she was a major disaster :o

What is "Vorticity?"

Derek Ortt · #57 Postby **Derek Ortt** » Wed May 28, 2003 5:19 pm

Vorticity is the amount of spin in the atmosphere

Vorticity measures the rotation of very small air parcels... :wink:

The storm should dissipate... I'm not surprised as we're still a few days from the official start of hurricane season.
