The eastern Pacific Hurricane season begins on May 15th and today finally saw their 1st named storm. Watching David this afternoon, he indicated there have been only 2 other years with later named storms. Humm...must be global warming?
Crossing the Causeway yesterday, 2 things I noticed were the haze in the sky and the algae in the water. FOX 8 has been tracking this dust layer coming from the Saharan Desert and it's one reason no tropical development is expected for the next week at least. The algae in the Lake is likely to get worse before it gets better and we have all seen the stories on how all the fresh water pouring through the Spillway is creating a crisis on our LA/MS coasts. The River is slowly falling, but the process will take weeks before the Corps shuts the Spillway. They announced this afternoon they MAY start closing the bays by the second or third week in July. Yikes! You see why it will likely get worse before it gets better.
If computer models are correct, higher rain chances should return by Friday PM staying around into early next week. That should make us less hot. For Thursday, expect another hot & mostly dry day with more Saharan dust keeping skies hazy. The dust should leave by Friday. Stay tuned!
