1. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAVE BECOME A LITTLE MORE CONCENTRATED
NEAR THE CENTER OF A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM LOCATED ABOUT 1150 MILES
EAST-SOUTHEAST OF THE WINDWARD ISLANDS. ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
ARE AT LEAST MARGINALLY CONDUCIVE FOR SOME GRADUAL DEVELOPMENT OF
THIS DISTURBANCE OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS AS IT MOVES WESTWARD AT
15 TO 20 MPH. THIS SYSTEM HAS A MEDIUM CHANCE...50 PERCENT...OF
BECOMING A TROPICAL CYCLONE DURING THE NEXT 48 HOURS

Maybe the same warning is just being updated with more information like storm reports than the first initial warning had even if it doesn't say "update" on the warning crawl. Usually when I see the warning crawl it's because Fulton, Dekalb, or Clayton county is being affected, however I have seen the warning crawl show up for counties that border those counties like Cobb, Paulding, Gwinnett, etc.

Not that this means anything, but below is a list of hurricanes/tropical storms that were in the current track/position of where invest 99L is right now, there are some interesting ones listed too. I'll redo this list and narrow it if/when we have a TD that has developed.
NOTE: I only visited the years of the 1981-2011 period. I also want to make it clear that even though there are some scary names listed, I'm not using this list to say this invest will turn into any of these tropical cyclones, this list is based on tracks ONLY.

Hurricane Karen (2007)
Hurricane Emily (2005)
Hurricane Ivan (2004) - Formed further east (around 32W)
Tropical Storm Nicholas (2003)
Tropical Storm Dolly (2002) - Formed further east (around 30W)
Hurricane Bertha (1996)
Tropical Storm Bret (1993) - There are a couple of GFS ensembles that have a similar track which is why I'm including this one.
Hurricane Andrew (1992) - The Canadian yesterday I believe showed a similar track to this one, but I don't think it had the invest hitting FL or the SE coast for that matter.
Tropical Storm Danny (1991) - Formed further east (around 30W)

Out of all of these, I personally think Hurricane Emily and Tropical Storm Bret would be the best analog tracks going by the ensemble model tracks right now.

Hurricane Allen (1980) is another good analog track, it's similar to Hurricane Emily; I also think this type of track is feasible.

I mentioned how the GFS was showing Cape Verde disturbances from now going into early August. Looks like we got one with a lemon drop on it. This is also the one the GFS has been showing slowly developing somewhat before basically disappearing into oblivion once it's in the Central Caribbean.

1. A TROPICAL WAVE...ACCOMPANIED BY A WEAK AREA OF LOW PRESSURE LOCATED
ABOUT 800 MILES SOUTHWEST OF THE CAPE VERDE ISLANDS...IS PRODUCING
AN AREA OF DISORGANIZED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. ENVIRONMENTAL
CONDITIONS APPEAR CONDUCIVE FOR SOME GRADUAL DEVELOPMENT OF THIS
SYSTEM OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS. THIS SYSTEM HAS A LOW CHANCE...20
PERCENT...OF BECOMING A TROPICAL CYCLONE DURING THE NEXT 48 HOURS
AS IT MOVES WESTWARD AT 10 TO 15 MPH.

The Game Room / Re: "In my pants" Game

« on: July 28, 2012, 09:42:41 PM »

We don't have that in my neighborhood imp. Mostly everyone is nice and friendly, but we have neighbors who love to drag race up and down the street, a one way street might I add. WTF they would want to do that is beyond me imp.  If they're not doing that they're drunk and partying at all times of the night, God forbid it's a holiday like this past 4th of July where they were lighting tons of firecrackers in the middle of the street. Don't these idiots know they could have caused a massive power outage or worse house fires imp?

Wow, sorry about the random rant, I started off about the drag racing and dug in way too deep for this game.

Was "The Girls Next Door" by Pat Metheny and "In the City Life" ever used?

The first one was, don't know about the other one.

Call me crazy, but I set up another pair of speakers earlier this evening to watch the Olympic Games on (4-channel setup FTW).. will be watching as much as possible with my TV tuner

Would you like me to print you up a name tag so we can eliminate any doubt from others?

Like Mike, I'm not really hung up on the Summer/Winter Olympics. I look at some events though.

I miss seeing Dagmar Midcap on WGCL. When I went to Atlanta, I would watch her every night on there back in 2008. She was very professional with her job though I can understand her reasons for leaving the station 2 years ago.

Pearson is another great OCM. I wish them the best of luck with their future endeavors. 37 years is quite an accomplishment

Don't you mean news anchor? Monica isn't an OCM.

Dagmar had a nice down to earth and charismatic personality which I liked. For something who isn't certified, she seemed to act as if she knew quite a bit. As shallow as this sounds, she's the only reason I would watch that channel. She was voted Sexiest Weather Girl here that same year I believe. Pretty sad about what happened to her boyfriend, I can understand why she chose to move to California to be with family. She's an OCM in San Diego now.
