Hurricane Kyle


Kyle upgraded to a tropical storm Thursday and grew up today and now kyle is our 6th Atlantic hurricane this season. The tropics have woken up from it's little nap and now the Atlantic is quite active again with 3 areas of interest and of course kyle.

Kyle is headed to the Maine and Canada's Maritime provinces,defiantly not a fish storm.


At 5pm, Kyle was about 780km south of the island of Nantucket, Massachusetts, and moving north at 37kph.
The way north is about to get a taste of the tropics.As Dew would say"Great googley moogley!

Tropical Storm Kyle continues to grow in strength as it makes its way toward the U.S. coast. Image: gsloan/Flickr.
I had to share the picture its not mine as you can see from the title below the picture but it sure is beautiful!
I wonder how the east coast is handleing these stong waves bashing it's shore.
WRIGHTSVILLE BEACH, N.C. -- Strong winds kicked up rough surf Thursday as an intense low-pressure system chugged toward the Southeast coast with wind gusts of up to 50 mph, knocking out power to thousands of homes in Virginia.SOURCE

Now onto my weather: Beautiful! What more can I say. Not a cloud in the sky today over my area and my ac has been off since Thursday when the dry air covered my area.Sweet.See that black circle?Thats where I am at. Its not gonna last, good things never do. Not to be negative but here in Florida perfect weather comes in waves.Here is a clip from NOAA weather discussion:AREA TO TRANSITION INTO MORE MOIST PATTERN
INTO MIDWEEK. DRY AIR OVER N FL TO HOLD INTO SUNDAY WHILE SFC FRONTAL
BOUNDARY AND ABUNDANT TROPICAL MOISTURE OVER S FL SLOWLY MOVES NWARD
OVER THE FL PENINSULA REMAINDER OF WEEKEND INTO MONDAY. UPPER TROUGHINESS
TO HOLD OVER THE DEEP SOUTH PRODUCING SW FLOW ALOFT WITH SERIES OF
EMBEDDED VORT MAXES ROTATING OVER THE AREA IN OVERALL FLOW. EXPECT
SHARP MOISTURE GRADIENT AS SFC BOUNDARY MIGRATES FROM S FL TO SW FL
TONIGHT AND SUNDAY TO CENTRAL FL MONDAY.
But then there is this: MID LEVEL TROUGH DROPPING
SOUTHEAST INTO THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY WILL STEER A LOW PRESSURE AREA
OVER THE GULF OF MEXICO JUST NORTH OF THE YUCATAN PENINSULA TOWARD
WEST CENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST FLORIDA MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY. THE
SURFACE LOW WILL MOVE EASTWARD ACROSS THE STATE LATE TUESDAY INTO
WEDNESDAY WITH A FOLLOWING COLD FRONT PUSHING SOUTH TO THE SOUTHERN
PART OF THE STATE. MODELS VARY ON TIMING AND STRENGTH OF THIS
BAROCLINIC SYSTEM BUT AT THE VERY LEAST THE SYSTEM WILL BRING BREEZY
CONDITIONS AND RAIN. NORTHERLY WINDS BEHIND THE FRONT WILL USHER IN
DRIER AND SLIGHTLY COOLER AIR THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY. I love the dry air but no clouds is a sad sad thing I love to stalk them clouds as you lnow so it looks like i will have my chance Monday.
I am trying my best to keep my blog updated i have been slacking quite a bit this summer, I am not going to make any promises but i am gonna try to at least sumit a picture each day.
Hope the rest of your weekend is grand! peace and love!
