A modest TS over Tampa Bay during the 4th of July week would disappoint a lot of people around here, but I'd be tickled pink to watch some waves break over a seawall and watch the wind blow our palm trees around during some bands of driving rain. Yea, I know, sick. But that would be my ideal 4th of July week...

GFS is back to showing something in the Gulf a week or so out.

So much for Danny. Guess we'll watch this one...

Webcam on Surfside Beach, SC: https://surfoff.com/webcam/ They have a stiff breeze...

Well, I'll be Danny it got a name.

Looks terribly dry in the swirl.

My amateur non-met yet seasoned lifelong storm obsessed watcher feeling is a late or very late season with a serious punch. Maybe even a short season at that, but enough to keep us on our toes for a bit. That said, wish the best and safety for everyone. Seriously.

OK, I'll bite.

How many times we've awaken to a TD off our coast (Clearwater, St Pete) when going to bed nothing. Good eye FLweather, you have experience around here I take it. Not that anything will develop, but it does happen on the fly as we all know.

And there are times when nothing is expected and 12 hours later there is a Tropical Depression in the Gulf on its way to being a TS.

I just saved this page and our current dialog on Page 54 into the WayBack Machine: But only this page. If someone had the time, they could grab every URL from this site and save every pages of forums. And do it regularly. https://web.archive.org/save No matter what, our dialog on Page 54 of this forum up to just before this post is saved for as long as the WayBack Machine survives. It has been around since the '90's and I hope it lasts as long as humanity! https://web.archive.org/web/20210622011341/https://www.americanwx.com/bb/topic/53254-2020-atlantic-hurricane-season/page/54/

There is the WayBack Machine. I was excited for a moment as they have archived a few captures such as one on November 6, 2020. But it doesn't appear they archived the forums themselves. One can request that they save a URL, but I don't suspect anybody ever did that. https://web.archive.org/web/20201106200055/https://www.americanwx.com/bb/forum/37-tropical-headquarters/ It was a thrill for a minute, until I tried to click a forum link and see what they captured. Wayback Machine has saved many a website butt over the years as far as content, but not this time.

If there was a backup somewhere from before the account was deleted, it would take a person to export the profile and associated tables, then the posts and the join tables that go with them. The images may still be in a folder somewhere as they shouldn't have been stored in the database. So a simple restore would be unlikely as it would erase everything added since then. It would require someone to do a lot of specific work to pull it off. That starts to costs a few bucks, and could be expensive. Doubtful there is a backup from months ago still around. Yea, very sad. A real tragedy when it happens by accident. "Oooops! OH NO!!" Over the decades I've done this kind of work, I've have to rebuild tables a few times when a piece of code I was working on did the wrong thing! Luckily I was able to reconstruct everything lost.

As a seasoned web developer, if there is no backup available they are probably lost forever. Delete can be a terrible thing, believe me I know all to well. Especially when database records are deleted. Databases do not remember.

Hurricane Ping Pong in the Gulfport of Mexico between Texas and Florida... They must be nervous in western LA.

Next run, still something but quite a change from the previous one. I'm not boarding the windows here yet.

ZCZC MIATWOAT ALL TTAA00 KNHC DDHHMM Tropical Weather Outlook NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL 800 PM EDT Sat Jun 19 2021 For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico: The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on recently downgraded Tropical Depression Claudette, located inland over western Alabama. Tropical cyclone formation is not expected during the next 5 days. $$ Forecaster Beven NNNN

OK, Claudette will be remembered by some. I accept the name was justified. Did not expect it to happen, but I know when I an wrong!

Strongest winds I've seen so far is on the water off LA at SW Pass with a 52 mph gust earlier today: Yea, a storm, but I see so many storms around there from fronts and typical monsoon waves. Any storm chasers down there LIVE? I haven't searched web cams yet, but might be worth while if I get a few minutes...

I remember a hail storm in Colorado Springs around 1970 that we saw coming while hearing a terrible loud roar from a black wall coming from Pikes Peak. Baseball sized hail pounded on us and ruined cars, destroyed trees, damaged houses, and left 3ft of ice in our yard in mid-August. Then all that ice melted and created flash floods in town that was as worse. If hail storms had names, it would have been historic and still compared to anything today. Hail Storm Andrew?

If it deserves a name, give it. But if is barely or questionably a name and nobody will ever remember it, let's not waste names anymore. How many names we have had here over my home that nobody will never remember. I do remember the ones that actually created a memory, and even then might have to Google to remember what name that was and what year it visited. I do name my photos, so have my own archive of photos and videos of waves crashing over seawalls or debris in my yard, but even then when looking at them I have to remind myself how the experience was. So many to remember, so many to visit. TS Debbie was one to remember for sure. Or, maybe someday we can name thunderstorms that pop up over here. Some are more intense and exciting than some Tropical Storms. Hey, we name winter storms now, right? Why not afternoon thunderstorms?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tornadoes_of_1995 "The season peaked in May with a near-record of 392 tornadoes that month. June brought over 200 tornadoes, including several that became famous for their videos. The death total for the year was relatively low at 30 (fewest since 1986)." Wonder if JB said the wrong year.

Lot of rain for New Orleans as well, and MS and AL, and mountains of GA. I feel like it might drift east more towards the panhandle of FL. That would better as for valley flash floods in the hills and mountains, but low flat areas could still be under some water.

Any thoughts on the mess off of the Yucatan Peninsula that is not 92L?
