No Rest For The Weary in Hurricane Season 2005

As Emily comes ashore and finally leaves our Radar after 9 days of tireless storm tracking, we thought we would soon be able to put a record setting July 2005 behind us. I need a nap. As I tracked Emily coming ashore last night, a new tropical wave caught my eye in the Eastern Caribbean near Puerto Rico. Sure enough July 2005 may not be done yet.

This morning the NOAA Hurricane Hunters posted their Schedule for Tomorrow and they are heading in. If I am tired, I can't imagine how they feel. They have named this new Tropical Wave 90L.Invest and it has its sights set on SE Florida. Conditions look favorable for development at this time, so we may have a Tropical Depression or Tropical Storm on our radar in 24 hours. Everyone from Miami and the East Coast of Florida needs to keep tuned to their local weather and watch this new development. Those in the Gulf of Mexico may want to keep tuned as well. 90L.Invest could push across Florida into the Gulf where conditions are also favorable for development.

The fact that we could have 6 named storms in 2005 before August even gets here clearly shows us that there will be no rest for the weary in Hurricane Season 2005.

On a side note, its 93 degrees here in North Carolina today with a Heat Index reading of 105. I feel like I'm breathing thru a straw.

Updated: It appears that the models have been run on 90L.Invest and here is what they are saying currently for this storms future track.
