Storms Here
      #526 - Fri May 31 2002 08:37 AM

Hey Rad...yes, you're right you did get a great light show Wednesday night. I can't remember the last time a storm lasted that long here. Last night we got some more rain and some good boomers, but it was a relatively short storm compared to the one the night before. However, we are grateful for the rain. We sure needed it. My grass is brown (not my biggest worry of the year) but hopefully this rain will have helped.

One More Thing...
      #527 - Fri May 31 2002 08:52 AM

I just finished looking at the IR loops in the GOM and the flow seems be an East-West flow in that area. Given that there's only been a few loops, it's hard to tell exactly how far south it will make it, but if it keeps going e-w, Florida may get MORE rain out of this system. Remember that storms a couple of years ago that came in from the GOM? They pounded FL for almost 3 days. If anything, it should be interesting to watch where they go.

Gray Lowers Numbers
      #528 - Fri May 31 2002 09:01 AM

Dr. Gray lowered his numbers once again to:

11 named storms
6 Hurricanes
2 Intense Hurricanes


This is a mistake - It will be above average - Steve H.
I'm figuring 14/9/3
Lower SSTs than anticipated will not affect an above average season IMO. If El Nino comes on it will be a factor, but I believe it won't be that strong.

What's up Rick?

Good to see you back. You gotta know that South Alabama is going to get creamed this year by at least a Cat-3. I'm looking forward to it!
