Bob Breck's Blog: Gulf, Caribbean Remain Quiet, Next Name Storm Way Out?

Ever since those 3 early June storms (that bothered almost no one), the Tropics have gone dead due to wind shear & dust. NHC must be totally bored as they have highlighted an area way east of Bermuda for possible tropical development. Why? Because models say so.

There is no activity in the area highlighted and I guess whatever forms must come from the upper (T.U.T.T.) low NE of the islands? The low off New England is a surface cold low(yellow arrow) so i guess the spin out over the Atlantic is the system NHC will follow.

Locally, our "extreme" heat wave has been broken by the return of the upper trough over the eastern states that allows daily storms to form.

Amazing how most of the country has highs in the 70s & 80s with the 'extreme" heat confined to the desert SW. What makes it feel warmer are the high dew points (75-80) from Texas to Florida.

What we're bombarded with daily is the reporting of the "extreme" weather from coast to coast. We are lead to believe/scared the end of the World is just around the corner. What we don't hear is Las Vegas had one of their least hottest Junes in terms of 100+ days. It's supposed to be hot there every summer, same with Phoenix etc. Nope, all we hear is it's never happened before. Nonsense. It tells me there is an agenda and to follow the money

I have no clue how MSY reached 94 today since their hourly reports only showed 91. We still have some strong storms around and more are likely during the next 3 days.
