Gosh, I hate talking about what we get every year at this time. Growing up, you remember it as "the dog days of August". Now the general media calls it "extreme, dangerous, or deadly Heat". Whatever, I won't bore you with what every station is highlighting along with the local National Weather Service Office.
There have been some spotty storms bubbling up during daytime heating, but not everyone saw relief.
The middle radar view was from 2:30 pm, but within an hour it was gone. Until the upper heat dome shifts farther to our west, look for little daily changes the rest of this week.
But this is mainly a hurricane blog post, and the tropics over the Atlantic remain dead.
The water vapor view clearly shows why. Upper-level lows are creating wind shear along with strong wind shear. Add in the Saharan dust, and you can see why it will stay quiet for another week at least.
But even the Tropical Pacific is quiet, with only Lala being a named storm. My next podcast on Wednesday will focus on the history of our hurricanes. Why do some years have clusters of storms while other years have nothing in the Gulf? To watch and hear the podcast, you have to become a subscriber at bobbreck.com. I thank the hundreds who have already renewed for year 2, with only 2 people choosing to cancel. The price is right ($2/month), and the information enhances my daily free FB blog. Come join the crowd to see what you've been missing. Stay tuned!
