Where's Storm Alert?

Is TD 3 that tropical wave that was being watched closely?

Yes. Its expected to really strengthen. NHC has the forecast strength over the next 5 days up to a Cat2

Models with TS Ana are all over the place right now.

IMO, I think it's gonna track further south towards land and remain weak until it gets between the Bahamas and Cuba.

Has anyone seen a 10+ Extreme before on their star for uv?

I've seen STARs showing that, yeah, but the UV index can only get up to 10 here.

Felix, it doesn't have to be hot for the UV index to be high.

Yeo, I see this all the time mostly during the summer though.

Tropical Disturbance #4 (Homebrewed SE Coast Tropical Storm?)

It's like Duck,Duck,Goose in the Atlantic! Which one will be the duck (Ana) and which ones will be the goose for the time being?

SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE NORTHEASTERN GULF OF MEXICO ARE
ASSOCIATED WITH A WEAK TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE.  SURFACE PRESSURES
ARE HIGH IN THIS AREA AND THERE ARE NO SIGNS OF ORGANIZATION.
THERE IS A LOW CHANCE...LESS THAN 30 PERCENT...OF THIS SYSTEM
BECOMING A TROPICAL CYCLONE DURING THE NEXT 48 HOURS.

Wow, awesome! You should send these to TWC.

I just sent the first one since it looks more realistic, the reason why the other ones dont is because of my camera, which one looks the best though?

I like the first one, but I think the second one is awesome too.

Interesting...I thought TD 2 was going to develop into something (maybe even a hurricane), but I guess it ran into conditions that greatly weakened it (although it never really was much ).

Any ideas on when the second "disturbance" will become a TD?

It probably will be a TD by the weekend if not a named storm Andy, the NHC has it at high risk for development (50% >). btw why is the disturbance in the carribean being ignored? it's looks much more healthy today.

You shouldn't be, it's going out to sea.

Is there a chance we could have 3 tropicals storms at once?

IMO who gives a rip about the heat...the kids are inside >90% of their school day anyway >_>

That's whats I think, Jonathan. Heat should really have nothing to do with when school starts.

What about most of the students who have to walk home during the peak of the heat? I hate to keep bringing up the heatwave in August 2007 but it was hell having to walk home when it was 105° outside that whole first week I went back that year. Having a heavy backpack didn't make it any better. I couldn't take the bus or the train since it's halfway between my house and school that wouldn't make any sense. and nobody in my family drives anymore except my sister who's at work when I get out of school. Like Molly said it would better to go in September when it's cooler like in the 70's and low 80's.

It's called water and cool clothes. >_>

That still doesn't help me, I easily get more sick in hot weather than I do in cold weather, maybe you like feeling like your body is on fire during the summer, but I don'thaving serious migranes that feel like hangovers and being nauseated constantly. You smart attitude wasn't needed I'm not in the mood today.

I seriously don't get as to why people start school so freakin' early. Who would want to go to school in such hot weather? Most schools in the Southeast have school starting this week. In the Northeast, most people go to school in September. I can understand going to school in the end of August but in the first week while in "full summer mode" doesn't seem right.

They haven't had the first day of school start in September since the 90's here when my sister was in school. They are ripping us off of a summer vacation because were technically getting out in Late Spring (May) and going back during the peak of summer (August) Don't they know how to look at a calander? I rather be out from June to September, I wish they could realize that would be much better.

Double Whammy?

I'm think the first storm is Ana and the one that follows behind is Bill coming near the DR/Haiti.

GFS tends to overexaggerate! As Patrick says to me, those models are designed for mid-latutide weather. Also the GFS model beyond 7 days suck. Dont rely on that!

That's true, but it's not overexaggerating that much, other models are showing similar solutions of a hurricane hitting somewhere along the EC sometime around the 23rd -26th of this month and they have been consistent in showing that the past few days, it's the tropical disturbance leaving the African coast as we speak that's being picked on models as being a significant hurricane once it gets near the Caribbean. I don't even believe TD 2 will become Ana, I think the wave leaving Africa now has a better chance of being named Ana.

Im loosing hope with this system. My new hope is that it moves away from the next disturbance which is further south than the first system. This also looks promising

That may be the system being picked up by the GFS in today's runs.
