It gave me the chills too. Not that I believe it. They just want to make us from Louisiana and Katrina victims more on edge. They basically got Louisiana getting hit the whole season or heavy rains in the forecast all summer. They said that a tropical system would form near Texas in early June. Well, it almost June 8th and all is still calm. I will worry about it when it happens and just stay prepared and on guard for the remaining of the season.

Very interesting read, but as the season doesn't effect me directly, I am sure you guys are on edge.

Curious as to why Egan doesn't link her April 2005 longe range report somewhere in that article. Unless I missed it.

Astrometeorology gives me a headache.

June 18th finds heavy rain in the area of Puerto Rico.

Ummm,that is close to what GFS has shown since last weekend and the San Juan NWS folks said in their discussion.Right now GFS has a wave passage over or south of Puerto Rico on the 13th and another on the 23rd.

Yeah, they got us getting hit by a tropical storm and then again by a hurricane in September. And in October they say something about heavy rain in poor storm ravaged Louisiana. What are they trying to do wipe Louisiana into the Gulf of Mexico forever? They must really hate us. :cry:

what does it mean by "strong winds"??? Does that mean a tropical system is producing them? Because strong winds are not typical along the Gulf in the summer.

Just to let you guys know...their forecast DID Horribly last year...check out some of their predictions for 2005:

"August 26th Typically, there will be more named storms this period. The first is a low pressure weather system off the east coast of the states developing perhaps at the Bahamas/Miami and cruises up through Cape Hatteras, eventually affecting Southern New England. The other system has its eye on Puerto Rico and the islands. The Gulf coasts look clear of storms this period."
^^Katrina hit on the 29th of August...not quite a "clear Gulf coast". Also...what is up with the storm in the Bahamas and the other in the islands? Did those ever happen during late August? No.^^

"September 11th. This is not a good week for Florida and the panhandle. There is a threat coming into the area with very strong winds attached. Perigee also occurs Sept. 16th. This storm may have just tropical indications for a while, even if land falling, it will do some windy/wet damage. However, the storm buildup I have found could actually strike in this next period. Windy thunderstorms for Texas. The Carolinas will have seasonable weather."
^^I do not remember any major tropical events in Fl during this period^^

"October 25th This week will have definite rain problems. This time of the season can bring severe tropical rains to the Caribbean and also to the Central America countries and Mexico. Remember Mitch? This is one week to pay attention to where the rain is headed. Cold fronts from the north may be trying to push south against the warm southern air as the season slowly gives up tropical influences. Rainy conditions along the central Gulf coast are expected."
^^looks like they forgot to mention Wilma.^^

Didn't give me a chill. Reminded me of what it was like last time I was without power for 3 days. Hot and sweaty.

C'est la vie.

Umm, being on vacation in Florida, you are somewhat wrong. When T-cells deliver their punch in the afternoon on occassion some heavy gusts can be associated. About two weeks ago, I went running and we had some strong winds associated with some cells go over Central Florida.

I really like her. I would honestly believe her. I don't like to really listen to a lot of hype but, I like her and think she is good.

I am not talking about thunderstorms...they do not say "strong thunderstorm winds" they say "strong winds". To me, "strong winds" are the windy days behind cold fronts in the winter. I do not recall a summer period of constant strong, gusty winds (unless a TS or Hurricane was associated).

Guys i forgot to mention Silvia Brown today on the Montel show said that by the end of summer FLORIDA will be under a catastropic event she went to say august 26 a major hurricane coming up from the carribean and following the coast strait up.Again iam not a big fan of these kind of predictions but just to here them gave me chills.

I read that article and it seems like a lot of hype to me..and thats something NO ONE needs..especially these poor folks along the gulf coast and in Florida that have been to hell and back the previous two seasons.

Cajungal you are right. Stay prepared and on guard this year and every year. When and if the time comes and a storm threatens im sure a hurricane vetrean like you would know how to react. Until then, relax and enjoy the summer.
