It apparently has been decreed that these are no longer to be called Hurricanes, instead they are to be known as 'Climate-Canes'

 

http://www.mrctv.org/blog/obama-prepare-flee-climate-caused-hurricane-devastation

 

 

Pres. Obama called for every American to put together a disaster supply kit and evacuation plan because climate change is bringing “more powerful and more devastating” hurricanes to the U.S. – even though the U.S. hasn’t been hit with a major hurricane in more than a decade.

Announcing the June 1 start of hurricane season, Obama warned Americans to prepare for imminent climate change-caused hurricanes:

 

“All of us have seen the heartbreak, the damage and, in some case, the loss of life that hurricanes can cause.  And 
as climate continues to change, hurricanes are only going to become more powerful and more devastating.

“One of the things that we have learned over the course of the last seven and a half years is that government plays a vital role, but 
it is every citizen’s responsibility
 to be prepared for a disaster.  And that means taking proactive steps, like 
having an evacuation plan, having a fully stocked disaster supply kit.
  If your local authorities ask you to evacuate, you have to do it.
Don't wait.”

 

Obama chastised Americans for their “complacency,” and told them to be ready to evacuate when the climate-canes hit:

 

Meanwhile, the U.S. has now gone a record 127 straight months without a major hurricane making landfall – and the National Oceanic and AtmosphericAdministration (NOAA) is predicting a “near normal” Atlantic hurricane season this year.

 

For the past ten-plus years, “normal” has meant no major hurricanes - even with the effects (if any) of climate change - so “near normal” suggests the U.S. will remain safe from climate-caused hurricane devastation.

@spann 15m15 minutes ago Hoover, AL

Still evidence of tropical mischief in a week or so in the GOM…

That would be great. It would potentially soak some of our friends in the deep south; which actually need the rain. Less areas with drought conditions the less chance of bad heat waves.

"Colin" or possibly, looks to track pretty far into the central gulf, before speeding up and heading basically ENE , on most models! Reall wish the strong front could be delayed and let this thing get more North and give the parched SE some relief!

Looks unlikely now, but FL looks to get drenched next week! Saw somewhere that if we got Colin, by 6/6, would be the 1st time in Atlantic basin history, to have 3 named storms by this date!

It doesn't seem to matter one bit where in the Gulf the thing emerges: west, central, east... It takes the exact same path right along the coastal Carolinas. It just will not come inland.

Strung out or not, that's a lot of rain headed your way  :)   :snorkle:

Put off power washing the house for a week - let nature do her thing in the meantime!

BTW - I prefer winter weather and watching you all and dreaming!

Nah, watching these tropical storms/hurricanes is much more fun. Different story if you are actually experiencing the winter weather.

12Z Model Runs:

 

12Z GFS has landfall as a 1002 MB Tropical Storm about half way up the west coast of Florida

12Z GEM has a landfall as a 994MB Cat 1 Hurricane on the Florida Panhandle, has it strengthen a bit while landfalling, and then hug the SC coast strengthening and then goes OTS.

12Z NAVGEM is similar to the GFS.

Euro looks a bit more inland, no?

 

Euro does look a bit more west.....right along or just inland at least till it gets to SC then its hard to tell I can only see the maps on tropical tidbits and it goes from Sav to 200 miles ENE of Hatteras I am not sure how it gets from Sav to there though but if it is a gradual shifting track then it would be right onshore for a lot of SC at least.
