Super typhoon Bavi has weakened to a Cat. 4 (150 MPH), but still packs quite a punch. Fortunately, it only brushed Guam and is on a future track that will keep the worst part of the storm away from Taiwan. The western Pacific basin (WPAC) is the only area of the Tropics that has any current activity.
The Atlantic Basin remains shut down due to extensive Saharan Dust and upper lows (TUTT) that hinder any development.
Computer models are hinting the Eastern Pacific (EPAC) will start to see storms in the 10-14 day time frame, but for our part of the World, things should remain quiet. For us locally, it's typical summertime heat with spotty storms.
Some folks are getting hammered again this afternoon.
Where it's raining, it's less hot.
We went fishing yesterday afternoon and learned that the heavy rains of the past two weeks have chased all the trout farther outside into saltier waters. Here's the best thing about our fishing trip.
Despite nearby lightning storms, this is the Shell Beach sunrise. All was not lost as I had to go get my gear to go down to Grand Isle in 2 weeks. Remember the Rodeo begins on July 23 to July 25th.
Go to tarponrodeo.org to register for a chance to win the $ 10,000 grand prize. You don't have to fish or even go to Grand Isle to win. Also, original subscribers to my Podcast will receive a notice for renewal before August 1st.
If I do a podcast this week, it will be on why we should see no tropical threats for the rest of this month. Go sign up before the next Gulf tropical threat arrives in August or September. Stay tuned!
