A different take

#1 Postby jlauderdal » Thu May 19, 2005 4:24 am

Headline from the weather america newsletter this morning:

Midwest System May Weaken, But Gulf Of Alaska Storm Poses Major Threat Of Severe Weather To Great Plains And Corn Belt Next Week; Eastward Translation Of Sonoran Heat Ridge Could Set Up An "Adrian" Stall Over Florida And/Or Cuba

There is no telling what shape the Adrian circulation will be after crossing through the high mountains of Central America. But a sound argument can be made (similar to that seen in the 0z May 18 GGEM scheme) for the Adrian-related low to stall very close to the Yucatan Channel by Day 5, and presenting a rain threat to Cuba and FL. Any discussion about regeneration to named storm status would be very premature at this point; but the disturbance could be an important factor in FL weather next week, if the center gets stuck between the Sargasso Sea heat ridge and the subtropical anticyclone in GA and TN.

I am only including the following because Iknow the question will come up:

Very interesting take on the situation next week.

Any thoughts from the meteorologists here on what their take is on this potential scenario?

It's in the Atlantic. The story "20,000 Leagues Under The Sea" took place there. Notorious for its seaweed, Sargassum, which we see a lot of here on the beaches in Galveston. For a couple of weeks a year, it STINKS because of that stuff!

The Sargasso Sea occupies that part of the Atlantic between 20o to 35o North Latitude and 30o to 70o (the horse latitudes), West Longitude.
