Conditions Appear To Be Changing In A Concerning Way...

#1 Postby Sean in New Orleans » Thu Jul 27, 2006 11:15 pm

(Not an official forecast..)
The atmosphere and conditions are changing and it appears that we are heading, in the next two weeks, to an active cycle, with most systems heading up the East Coast, but, a couple could swing into the GOM and head towards Texas or West Louisiana. The steering cycles and upper level winds are changing based on satellite views....I think we may be heading towards a more active tropical cycle. Hopefully, the cycle will unwind itself by the second week of September.

Profound statement. I was beginning to think that the shear would last through August!

Almost as annoying as the "season cancel" threads are the "season about to explode" threads. Activity increases in August /Sept (peak of season), but you still need a bunch of factors to come into place to have a TC, let alone a major hurricane. This year is a normal year which in the active period of the past 11 years produced on average approximately 15/8/4 - some as high as 2005 some as low 1997s 8/3/1. We just don't know what to expect. Conditions could be ripe and still could have low numbers. And conditions change daily.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and predict that "a bunch of factors come into place" and we end up with TC's and major hurricanes.

:D

Yes we will, but it might not be until Sept, or it could be next week.

I'm worried about the wave in the carib. right now. If that we'd probably be dealing with a storm entering the gulf next week.

It seems like the gulf is becoming more favorable right now so I hope it does not come in.

I'm worried too. I would really hate to go to bed one night only for it to spin up and be a storm in the morning. The season is heating up for sure!

I'd like to know what conditions are changing? It seems like the same inhibiting factors are still in place IMO.

If the predictions on the following site hold true, it calls for:

August 2-8 - Disturbed weather in the mid Atlantic
August 9-15 - Hurricane weather for Florida...and
to really scare anyone who might believe in this sort of stuff:

August 31-Sept. 6 - Hurricane of great strength for Florida and Gulf Coast
Sept 7-13 - Tropical Storm for LA

Sept 14-21 - High cat storm strikes Florida, with Louisiana having squalls and flooding

Sept. 22 - Hurricane for Louisiana
and...yet another..

October 13-21 Louisiana Hurricane.

Good thing I personally don't take much stock in this at all! :lol:

Astrometeorologist, gimme a break. Lets see, let me break out my tarot cards and Ouija board. OMG they just told me that that Florida and the Carolinas will receive a hurricane threat in September (since both areas receive a warning just about every year it's a pretty safe bet, and less vague than her predictions). :roll:

Sheer is veering North and decreasing...whenever it sheers North, it signals a weakening and disappearing of sheer.
