Today's Podcast, Late Week Heat Wave, increasing Rain Chances,Quiet Tropics,

For those of you subscribers to my podcast, I hope you enjoyed the photos & videos taken last week on my visit to the Biltmore Estate in Asheville.  The views were extraordinary and don't do justice to how awesome an experience it was.  You can go to bobbreck.com and sign up to view it.  For $2/month, you get podcasts about my life, my friends & past co-workers and, most importantly, my thoughts about tropical activity.  Go give it a try.  The Tropics are struggling worldwide.  


There is an old frontal boundary off the East Coast that has several small spins, but none of the models develop anything.  NHC gives this system only a 10% chance, which means it won't happen.  so why give it any chance?  Take a look.



The western most low has a well defined low level circulation, but as the color IR shows, it has no weather with it.  However, farther to the east, that spin does have some storms around it.  Until models show development, NHC isn't concerned nor so should we.  What is coming our way is a return of low level moisture that will allow for higher rain chances the rest of this week.


That is a good thing since daily spotty storms help keep us from getting too hot.  All the national networks are going crazy with the intense, extreme heat wave over the eastern 2/3rds of the country.




Right under the center of the upper high, St. Louis is near 100 degrees and that heat will spread eastward as the upper high drifts to the east.  Radar is showing clusters of storms across Florida moving to the west.



Some of these storms could reach us after dark bringing cooling relief.  In the past, we called this basic summertime.  Now it's intense, dangerous & extreme. You can see where it's raining to our east as temps are less hot.



So let's pay attention for the next 3 months if we're working or playing outdoors.  Use common sense, wear hats & sunscreen and remember, it's called SUMMER!  Stay tuned!
