Calm Weather

The Friday afternoon map discussion is on the server:

One week ago we were making the big adjustment in the forecast track of Katrina and ramping up the concern for the central Gulf coast. There were so many products to issue and adjust we didn't have time to get out the regular map discussion video. It was a wild day.

Today all is quiet in the weather office. Dry air means no rain for at least the next five to seven days. Temperatures will slowly trend downward, and nights will remain pretty comfortable.

TROPICS: The wave near 10N/40W has not shown any development today... but we will watch it closely over the weekend. TD number 14 is now tropical storm Maria, but will move north/northwest across the open Atlantic and is no threat to land. But once again, we stress we have a long way to go in this tropical season. We will be waiting and watching.

Have a wonderful weekend.
