depression

We are in the final full month of hurricane season; so don't eat your spam and drink all the water in your hurricane supplies just yet. We have an area of weather to watch northeast of the Leeward Islands.

It would seem that (once again) Southwest Louisiana has dodged the tropical bullet. This must come as a shock to those irresponsible web weather prognosticators that earlier this week were predicting a Labor Day weekend hurricane here. Earlier this week I saw several facebook post warning the Gulf coast about a hurricane next weekend...

Billy Joel says that, in recent years, he has battled depression. Depression doesn't care how famous you are or how much money you make and a great many people have problems with what Winston Churchill called 'The Black Dog.' I can identify with Joel as I have battled depression a great deal of my adult life. Here's Billy Joel's story.

We have been watching this area of low pressure for a few days as it moved through the Caribbean Sea. NOAA is now predicting it will enter the Gulf of Mexico later this week.

We are all waiting for the arrival of fall. We had a little taste of it last week.  One good thing about cooler weather is that it usually signals the end of hurricane season. Well we jumped back up into the 90's and just to let us know the season is not over yet ... we have a new low pressure system to watch.

Last week one day we had two tropical storms and a hurricane. None of them impacted the United States. If the current forecast holds it will be another such week.

This is the most tropical activity we have seen so far this year. To this point  mother nature has spared us ... unless you have vacationed in Cancun at the wrong time this year.

The tropics have been very busy lately. The good news is that no storms have threatened the U.S. Coastline. Let's hope that does not change.

We wake up on a Saturday Morning to a tropical weather map dotted with four areas of disturbed weather. One of them looks like it develop further in the next week.

The first of these tropical waves is out in the Atlantic  (about 450 miles east of the Lesser Antilles). The other one is just moving off the coast of Africa..

Here we are headed into the Labor Day weekend and it looks to be Tropical Weather free for us. There is a system of disturbed weather moving over Florida though.
