The Revenge of the Return of the Son of TD5
So, I had to go out and checked the weather. I looked at the local radar loop and it struck me that the storms in the area seemed to be moving in a counter-clockwise motion, like a tropical storm.
So, I jumped to the regional radar view and the storms were definitely moving counter-clockwise around a center near where Florida, Alabama, and Georgia meet. It was time to head to the tropical weather site to see what was going on:
Statement as of 2:00 PM EDT on August 15, 2010
For the North Atlantic, Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico –
An area of low pressure, the remnant of Tropical Depression Five, is located over southwestern Georgia. This system is forecast to move southward toward the northern Gulf Coast later today and tonight and it could emerge over the Gulf waters by early Monday, where conditions are expected to be conducive for some development. There is a medium chance, 30 percent, of this system becoming a tropical cyclone again during the next 48 hours.
Elsewhere, tropical cyclone formation is not expected during the next 48 hours.

Just ducky! The slacker couldn’t hack it the first time around, so it decides to give it another go. Rain, more rain, and nothing but rain for yet another week.

Rain? What the heck is that? 😉
if you tire of your depressing sunshine, feel free to come on down. Things are cheap at the moment. If you turn in some bottles for the deposits and check the couch for change you might pick up a condo. 😉
Bryan, it looks like you could get tropical weather in the “back door”. Weird! I wonder if we’ll see it on the rest of the Gulf Coast. Right now we have occasional intense thundershowers.
You are getting the outer band, Steve, while I’m inside it. It passed South of us this afternoon on its way to Louisiana as an almost but not quite depression. This time I hope it stays gone and doesn’t circle again. I’d like to see the sun again.
