With all the media hyping the start of the 2008 Hurricane Season, it appears the first depression is about to form...but...IT'S IN THE PACIFIC ! Yep, in fact, the system is very close to the Costa Rica west coast. Movement should bring it northward over land during the next several days producing flooding rains to much of Central America. For the Atlantic basin, all is quiet and likely to stay that way as computer guidance brings another east coast trough by late this weekend. Typically the first 2 months of our season sees little activity. We begin to ramp up in late July with the peak time for storms between August 10th and October 10th.
No need to lose sleep over the start of this season. We will have plenty of notice if a storm is coming our way. Sure beats living in an Earthquake zone or Tornado alley. There you have little or no warning.

Seems like placing a hurricane season count down clock on the site as if it was a dooms day clock is hype... Meteorologists normally warn very well for tornados...
Oh caveman I love it!!It keeps us on our toes. Way to go BOB!!
There is another tropical storm in the Atlantic named Arthur that is just off the northern coast of Belize. It's from the remainants of Alma, but since it crossed from the Pacific to the Atlantic, it has to be named a different name. So I guess the Atlantic's first tropical storm started one day early.
Yes it does suck to live in tornado ally. I was down there for 6 yrs, went through Katrina, came back to KC Missouri last July and I am being welcomed back with some scary stuff!
thanks for the stats review, bob..you are my rock..i only listen to you.:)
