Chance of rain coming back into the forcast

Well I didn't keep my promise but I am sending Pictures..and here am with another post in the same month.
We have been stuck in the same weather pattern for awhile now, We haven't seen rain in 2 weeks, so much for April showers.
.SHORT TERM (TONIGHT-SUNDAY)...HIGH PRESSURE WILL START OUT THE
SHORT TERM PERIOD IN CONTROL OF THE WEATHER. THE HIGH WILL BE
CENTERED NEARLY OVERHEAD BY TONIGHT. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR MUCH LESS
OF A GRADIENT...AND DECENT RADIATIONAL COOLING TO OCCUR TONIGHT.
FOR SATURDAY...THIS HIGH NEARLY OVERHEAD WILL ALSO ALLOW FOR THE
AFTERNOON WEST COAST SEABREEZE TO RETURN WITH THE LACK OF GRADIENT
FLOW. SO SHADED TEMPS A TOUCH COOLER TO THE WEST ALONG THE
COAST...BUT EVEN STILL IT SHOULD WARM TO NEAR NORMAL EVERYWHERE.
BY LATE IN THE DAY CLOUDS WILL BE INCREASING FROM THE SOUTH. THIS
WILL BE AS A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM BEGINS TO DEVELOP NEAR THE
YUCATAN PENINSULA. DEVELOPING H5 TROUGHING WILL HELP TO DEEPEN THE
SURFACE LOW AND PUSH IT UP THE FLORIDA STRAITS BY SUNDAY. THIS
WILL RESULT IN MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES...AND CHANCES OF RAIN AND
THUNDERSTORMS...WITH TEMPERATURES A FEW DEGREES BELOW NORMAL FOR
THESE REASONS.
With my fingers crossed I sure do hope I will see some thunderstorms,Its been a long time since I heard the sound of thunder. Oh how I miss it.
Living back at my childhood home has brought back a lot of memory's. One I get to relive is the sound of the wind through the pine trees,Austrian pines. What a wonderful song they sing. I love all the trees in the back yard.

Thursday afternoon.

NICE WARM DAY AND FRECKLES IN THE SKY

Spring Time, Lost time....

Yes it is April of 2010, I haven't blogged in some time now. Why? Well for many reasons:
First I had only one computer and I just couldn't compete with my husband and my son.
Plus my camera took a shiz. I did get my computer a lap top, so now i can make time for my blogs. Another reason is life, ya know sometimes it gets overwhelming and Really didn't want to record that part. That is why I write or blog is to record my thoughts and weather for the time. I think it is cool that i can share that with others who choose to read it. Hurricane season for 2009 was ruled by El Nino. There was only 9 name storms.
It did rain a lot which is good because as i have written in the past it had been pretty dry. Winter was incredible. Several states broke record lows. I who have who was born and raised here in Florida, never saw it so cold for so long. Working in a factory with no heat sucked the big one.
December 9,2009 My mom died,heart attack. She was only 58. She had gotten the H1N1 flu shot 7 days prior and got real sick 2 days after, throwing up and diarrhea. She called out of work Monday tried to come in on Tuesday but here boss sent here home. She was real weak. My brother who is 22 lives at home with mom, my dad died in 2002 after a long fight with cancer. Anyway my mom called the doctor told them she had the flu and they prescribe her pepto bismal she died before 1pm on Wednesday. My brother talked to her in the morning and went to his room took a nap and when he came out he called her name out when she didn't answer he went to check on her and she was dead.Ted My brother called me after the police got there. I was in total shock. Her official cause of death was cardiac arrest do to influenza. I was renting a house in Port Richey with no lease so i gave the owner a month and half heads up I was moving. I now live in this house with my brother who is socially challenged. He has never worked and is extremely shy. Lord give me strength. I am updating the house which may I add is 54 years old. I am in probate but it should be done with it by May. I am gonna sell this house even though it has the best yard ever. The house sits on a double lot. The back yard is huge. My dog Maddie is loving it. But both my parents died in this house, It's hard to be here. To many memory's.
Febuary 10,2010 Jordan Christopher Norris was born, my grandson.
Yup I am a grandma. My daughter who is 22 is a wonderful new mom. I will have many Pictures coming.

So now it is April, It has been a cold wet winter and I welcome spring with open arms.
El Nino is showing signs of weakening and their calling for a an active hurricane season. I have my my fingers crossed.
For now I go with a promise to myself to write everyday.
Remember: Keep your eyes to the sky!

no name storms yet

So much for an early season, its already August and there has yet to be a named storm.
Thanks to ElNino it looks to be a quit year.
I haven't had any great storms ether, of course with out a car I cant chase the sea breeze storms. So again I'm just a storm watcher from a far.
Which is really getting frustrating even with a car my freaken camera is broke too so life as a storm chaser is just gonna have to be put on hold. I am trying to be positive but it seems i just keep getting let down. Arg.
That's why i haven't been blogging. I am active with Face book, just look up Jessika Bland and u can check in on what I'm up to, If your interested.
So for now keep your eyes to the sky and pray for me that life gets a little better.

Yea its getting interesting around here!

Florida heat wave

It's only May and yes folks we are seeing temps reaching the 90's.
The drought is getting worse, Florida is 4.53 inches behind in rain already for the year. This is bad, and yes each day that goes by without rain is just making it worse.I read recently my county- Pasco is doing a good job with conserving our water.but that also means no fun in the hose for the kids this summer. Those of us without pools no how bad this sucks! While I'm here bitching about no rain five states,TX,LA,MS.Al.GA are getting pounded,storm after storm after storm. 30 Tornado's have been reported since Friday,and wide spread flooding hail storms and on
Saturday a severe thunderstorm warning went up at 3:06 pm in Dallas Texas At 3:30pm 70mph winds collapsed the Dallas Cowboy's practice facility. They are reporting that event as a MicroburstClick on Microburst to read how this event forms.
Scary stuff if you don't know whats going on weather wise around you. That's why a weather radio is an absolute necessity!! If you don't have one go out and get one before you become one of those people....you know what i mean.
Jess
