I appreciate your optimism. Hopefully what I'm reading in the forecast is wrong since it's looking like thunderstorms all week. I really do hope it won't be THAT rainy but I guess I'm too much of a pessimist. I will try my best to enjoy it xD A bit bummed though.

So it appears I picked literally the WORST week to head to Orlando ^^' I've never been in a tropical system before so a part of me is a little excited but I hope this things speeds up a bit because I maybe in the system my entire stay. What's do you all think the chances of it reintensifying into a hurricane? And any lesser known tips I should be aware of in case that happens?

What the fluff?? I just woke up and yesterday I was only hearing about a potential cat 2? Now most of the models have it projected towards a cat 4? Really hoping it weakens because Louisiana can't seem to get a break.

At the rate it's developing, I'd say the coup is more than likely xD 98L, despite the odds, still hasn't gotten its act together.

Greek names by this weekend, anybody? Dang... I never thought I'd see the day where it would even be a possibility for them in September.

It's already showing some promising formations. The only real threat to it's development is it's proximity to the shore. That didn't stop Sally though. It will be interesting to see if this race with 98L to become Wilfred.

Maybe this will be the year TS Omega could be a thing...

As someone from Michigan this made me chuckle. The I remembered the "Huroncane" was a thing and decided it's best not give 2020 any ideas.

Hello! I'm a weather enthusiast who has always been fascinated with weather-in particular severe weather events and the immense power it can display. I recently turned 22 and have decided to put college on hold until the current pandemic subsides. Part of this is my lack of attention in online classes but the other half is to do some soul searching on what, if any, degree I would want to pursue. Ever since high school my parents commented how odd it was that I didn't want to be a meteorologist given how geeky I am with the weather. Truth is I was quite interested but there was a problem: Calculus. When I was doing my research on what courses I would need to take, the thought of calc III was too much for me. To say I had a rough time in pre-calc would be a grave understatement. It was the very class that made me realize that an engineering career wasn't for me. Granted, the teacher was terrible (the denied her tenure if that explains anything) and my AP Calc class the next year went a lot smoother. However, I was never great at actual calculus either. Now, I'll make clear that I actually LOVE math. Algebra and geometry are among my favorite subjects in academia. Pre-calc was the first time where I was in the middle of the class in terms of understanding. For the first time, I felt insecure in my abilities and I decided that anything remotely math based was not on my agenda. This was 6 years ago and I want to believe I'm more open to learning Calc again but I guess my real question is, what else should I expect assuming I'm able to at least have a basic comprehension of the calculus classes? Are the calculus equations the most difficult part of MET courses or are there other stuff that could pose an even greater challenge for a student? Are the physics courses just as difficult? For a long term goal, I'd be more interested in Broadcast Meteorology, does a bachelor's degree suffice or is grad school pretty much expected for the career? I mostly just want to know what I would expect in a college curriculum and if my struggles with Pre-calc are a sign that I may be a bit over my head. Thank you for readning.
