It's The Waiting Game...

There really isn't any news to update tonight as NHC continues to highlight multiple areas for possible development.  Nothing is threatening to any land areas right now and the thinking is it may stay that way for awhile.

The areas way out in the Atlantic are 2 weeks away from us so I won't even waste time talking about them.  The disturbance over the eastern Caribbean does appear to be trying to rotate but NHC keeps the chances for organizing the same at 80%...translation...it will happen.  The system off the east coast remains at 70% chance for development so we'll have to see which one becomes Nana and which one will be Omar.  As you can see, most early computer models take it straight westward into central America.

the other system off the east coast will quickly head out to sea as another name will be "wasted" on this year's list.

The frontal boundary to our north has stalled out, but it is kind of exciting to see the dramatic difference in air masses with dew points in the 40s & 50s north of the front.   Models continue to hint we'll see our first Fall front sometime during the next 10-14 days, and that would be nice!

With the current lull in tropical activity, I've been looking back over the years at old Ch. 8 tracking charts and seeing some of the folks I worked with.  In the 80s it was New Yorker Joe Cioffi who had not only weather knowledge, but a great sense of humor.  I went to Joe's wedding back in the 80s because he insisted I see a "real New York Italian wedding".  You won't believe it and Joe was right.  It was 4 days of eating & drinking.  I put on 6 lbs.!   Ch. 8 promoted us with billboards "On your side".  I think after Ch. 8 dropped that slogan, Ch. 6 pick it up in the 90s!  Joe left us to go to a Cable TV station in Long Island to be closer to family.   Next update Monday morning.  Stay tuned!
