We should all pray that the trough of low pressure that is expected to swing down over the Eastern U.S. on Monday, is weak. It could very well pull Alex northwards through the oil slick region into the northern Gulf of Mexico coast.
Most models are saying that the trough will be weak enough that Alex will cross the Yucatan, emerge into the Gulf of Mexico, then slow down as the trough to its north weakens the steering currents in the Gulf of Mexico on Monday. By Tuesday, the influence of the trough will wane, high pressure will build in, and Alex will resume a west-northwest, or possibly a due west or west-southwest motion, towards the Texas/Mexico border region. That is what Dr.Jeff Masters is saying. I just hope we get some moisture in the air so I can have me some fun watching the storm build then explode.
He He any who keeping my eye Alex watching 94L and always keeping my eyes to the sky!

Tornado fest in the plains, Sunny and beautiful in Florida

I sit outside in my backyard with a genital breeze on my shoulders, My long black hair pulled back so it doesn't blow in my face. I am Drinking a nice tall glass of sweet ice tea with a slice of lemon and I am watching my dog Maddie hunt for lizards, kinda funny she lifts things up to look under them she knows where they hide and yes if she catches it she will kill it.
Weird, my dog the lizard slayer.

I have windows 7 on my laptop which is cool cause you can have your windows side by side so as i write this I have on ChaserTV . A very cool web site for this time of the year. I am watching a awesome storm right now, the shelf clouds are amazing. I wish there was sound, the wind is what I love, the many different sound that it makes. Music to my ears.
Kansas and Oklahoma got nailed yesterday, numerous tornado reports A beautiful multivortex Tornado was caught on video you can see that on Chaser TV
