Additional Thoughts
The previous blog left out any talk about the weekend Gulf mischief but the details are still worthy of discussion. The tropical wave that will increase rain chances along the Gulf Coast during the late weekend and into next week is passing over the Lesser Antilles. Convection has been enhanced this afternoon due to some westerly shear and an upper low. Conditions are not favorable for development, and the models aren't doing much with it. Even the Canadian model is no longer showing a tropical cyclone entity, which is to the contrary of last night's run.
In other news, despite the recent upswing in activity, 2009 is still one of the latest starting seasons since 1950. Remember, we officially do not have our first named storm yet. Here's some dates for the latest named storm...
07. 1950: 1st named storm 8/12
06. 1983: 1st named storm 8/15
05. 1992: 1st named storm 8/16
04. 1984: 1st named storm 8/18
03. 1962: 1st named storm 8/26
02. 1967: 1st named storm 8/28
01. 1977: 1st named storm 8/29
