Good Bye Old Friend, My Old Friend...



The Nancy Parker Boyd memorial Service was this morning and will be rebroadcast tonight on FOX 8 between 8-10 PM.  .Her husband Glynn sang 3 long songs to her and it was both heart warming & heart breaking at the same time.  It was a fine tribute to a great long story.   If you're able, you can help out by contributing to the Nancy Parker Education Fund at any Gulf Coast Bank & Trust.

The area of disturbed weather remains over the western & northern Gulf.  I can not find any upper low on the daylight satellite loop and it appears a cluster of storms is gathering east of Brownsville.   NHC is not talking about it yet and no models show development.   We still expect some heavy rains at times over us for Saturday & Sunday.   Invest 98L is now expected (90%) to develop off the Carolina coast this weekend.  The satellite and radar loops show a circulation half over land near Miami so little development is expected until this system gets back over the Gulf stream late Saturday into Sunday.  It will have no impacts for the northern Gulf.    Another system (Invest 99L) is over the central Atlantic and NHC now thinks it could become Erin (50%) during the next 2-3 days.  Satellite loops have a swirl of low level clouds with some storms around it.  It could approach the Leeward Islands in 2-3 days.  Since it's that far out, too soon to even worry about it.

Our focus will stay with the Gulf disturbance since that is nearer home.  Just keep up on the weather over the weekend.   Models still show some kind of front nearing us next week.  Stay tuned!
