Anyone been following the low that has been bringing rain to Florida? It is forcast to further develop and if it manages to be a named storm, it will be Jerry. There is an upper level high that will keep it from coming our way until sometime on Monday I believe.
Everyone along the Gulf Coast has been made aware of this, at least on the MS side.
Angel, I'm glad you posted this. I haven't watched the weather channel since early this morning. I just read my email and a friend in Tx. said they're watching to see if it'll turn into anything cause it's heading that direction now. Kind of strange cause Fla. hasn't been getting slammed like normal this year and other areas have been.
I know. This one kind of meandered it's way from the eastern side of Florida over to the Gulf. What happens next is anyones guess as it has become a bit stationary and if it continues to do so, the high might weakern or move on off to the north, although it is supposed to come on down south a bit. It is a wait and see situation.
I'm six hours north of the coast so what we will get is rain by early next week, but we need the rain.
According to the Weather Channel, there are quite a few storms that develop in the Gulf. The surface sea temps of the Gulf are conducive to tropical systems forming, currently the temps are mid to upper 80's so are quite warm, put warm waters together with a low and you get tropical systems. How strong can only be determined by how long it stays over warm waters before landfall. I belive if it does form, it will not make a large or strong storm, unless it sits there and circles around itself or goes west and hits western la or texas.
Since I have just to moved to the Houston area and this is my first "hurricane" season I have been following all the storms closely. The weather here in Houston seems to be forecasting it to hit Louisiana instead of us but then they qualified it and said that can't be totally sure what it is going to do. Doesn't give you a lot of confidence. I have been a huge bundle of nerves every time a storm enters the gulf since I have never been through this before I don't know what to expect. Kinda scary for me.
Well Ladies and Gents, we officially have a sub tropical depression #10 on our hands and tropical storm warnings have been posted for parts of the Gulf Coast. Oh boy...
Oh my, that doesn't sound good. I have to apologize to the people in Tx. I am a weather jinx and have always been that way.
We normally take an autumn vacation and we've been looking around. Alabama looked interesting, but we decided against that. We had done a bit of research since we'd never been to the desert, but decided against that. This morning they showed a huge explosion at a tire factory in Maricopa and we had been looking at that area. Not exactly weather related, but you get my point.
Oklahoma~we were there last year and we really like it there. Remember there awful floods this year???? I think I jinxed them.
Well, we sort of decided we'd rather go some place we've never been to.
So, we finally decided that we would vacation to the Texas gulf coast. We love beaches and the birds and the palms and flowers and plushness. Our plans are to be there in about 4 weeks. SO, hopefully my jinxing has worn off.
Remember 2004 in Fla???? Well, we were there twice that year. One time was the middle of Sept. and we barely slipped inbetween the canes.
There's more, but I don't wanna be burned at the stake so I'll leave it at that.

Hey Jammie, I think I am a jinx too. A couple of weeks ago I commented to my husband that wow with all the rain storms we have had here there was a lot of moisture but no winds or damage or anything. Two days later we had an awful storm that knocked down trees and we lost our power for a day. My hubby looked at me funny and told me that if he had known that I had the the ability to call down the lighting and the thunder he might have reconsidered marrying me (Ha Ha).
So don't feel bad you aren't the only one.
