    Until its a hurricane, I'm not going to get excited. TS's are no big deal...unless they sit on Houston for 24 hours.

    Isn't this like the 3rd time Claudette has been used for a TS/Hurricane ?

    Hurricane Claudette hit Texas in 2003 and I think a TS Claudette caused a mess in Texas in the early 80's. Anyone remember that one ?

    Maybe you could leave a bowl of Storm Chow on your doorstep.

    Careful though, once you feed it, it will never leave.

    :D

    Models are showing a trough setting up along the East Coast that should protect us here from those long track storms (Ana, Bill etc).

    There is an interesting blob in the Bay of Campeche. Probably will poof soon but its worth watching since its so close.

    Edit: btw, Ana looks like it died again. I expect next advisory will be the last for Ana. Keep it mind this is the second time its died.

    One more time and they will have to rename it Tropical Storm Shirley MacLaine.

    Wellp... I guess it's right to admit that I was wrong... you can take your shots at me now. ;)

    You have every right of calling me a clown... I didn't know this thread was used so importantly... I'll try to keep myself disciplined when I'm in here.

    What are you basing this on?

    I also want to point out that a fish storm means that all landmasses are missed. Bermuda counts. I think there is still some concern for the NE US or Canada with Bill. They need to watch closely.

    I heard on CNN that it could reach NYC. Now maybe just a depression but it still can happen..

    Im assuming you are referring to Bill, eventho Ana is the one that is a depression at this point.

    Bill is *expected* to make a north turn eventually, the deciding factor will be how much of an effect a trough will have in turning it, and the timing of it. If the trough is late getting into place, Bill could very well skirt the eastern seaboard and give NY some love, but if it gets into place earlier...then Bermuda is likely to be the only landmass close to the CONUS that feels his wrath.

    As usual...this far out nothing is certain, but a majority of the models call for Bill to make a nice northerly turn before it gets to the area off the Florida coast.

    I would certainly be keeping an eye on Bill if I lived anywhere from Florida to Maine.

    It will probably curve up away from land and just cause rain along the coast.

    Ana's remnants are still out there. They could possibly regenerate into a tropical storm before hitting somewhere. You just never really know.

    True...NOAA has it less than 30% chance of forming into anything...

    What was left of Ana got eaten up by an upper level low. It's going to be interesting to see what happens with that ULL. They have been known to turn tropical over time, though rare. Check out the satellite loop. It's pretty interesting.

    I don't really see anything...i think it's pretty much gone at this point. What I'm interested in is that area off Bay of Campehece. It's still there. Maybe that area can come over and give us some rain! :) Bill sure is looking handsome...
