Tropical Cyclone Heat Potential is on the increase...we are above last year at this time

Quoting StormTracker2K:
Looking more and more that El-Nino will be here this summer. Looking like we maybe sitting at +1.5 by October.

Hey, Trunkmonkey.

1) You should always provide attribution when pasting such a large chunk of text. FWIW, the article you copied in its entirety is a seven-month-old piece from iWatchNews.

2) The article you pasted was published before separate independent investigations of the Solyndra loan guarantees failed to show any evidence whatsoever that politics influenced any decision making about those loan guarantees.

3) Even if the Solyndra deal had turned out to be the largest scandal to ever strike the United States--which it wasn't--that wouldn't change one iota what aspectre said: that PV prices are dropping as technology improves, making solar an increasingly more attractive source of alternative energy.

Quoting Floodman:


Just another case of someone using an innocuous comment, in this cse about he drop in PV pricing, to tout their political agenda...

Quoting MAweatherboy1:

This has the potential to be a very dangerous year despite some already calling it a bust... We may not see very many storms but if a favorable environment (lack of shear and dry air) sets up in the Gulf and Caribbean and combines with the warm SST's we could be looking at some powerful home grown storms.

Quoting hydrus:
Good morning Flood.

Who's calling it a bust? A ittle early to sound the all clear, you think?

Quoting weatherbro:


After this weekend(behind the front) it appears Orlando will enjoy highs in the low 70's with lows in the 40's/50's.

Geezus.....lightning and thunder for 7-8 straight hrs last night. Didn't sleep, couldn't sleep, by the time you start falling asleep a clap of thunder awakens you only to start the process all over again.

Only 0.86" at the house near the NWS. Just a few miles SW places got up to 3-5 inches. Whole night was lit up constantly, crazy.

Quoting Neapolitan:
The long range forecasts I've seen for Orlando show no highs for the next ten days below the low 80s, and no lows below the mid 60s. Lows in the 40s? It's possible, I suppose; Orlando has dropped into the 30s as late as April 20 (1936), and into the 40s as late as May 15 (1917). But nothing like that appears on the horizon, at least not that I've seen.I remember people calling 2010 a bust in late August--just before a dozen-plus storms formed. I imagine there are some here who would call a season a bust if only three Cat 5s formed when they were expecting four of them. ;-)

Quoting Tropicsweatherpr:


CFS1 will be discontinued in June. CFSv2 will be the only NCEP model for ENSO after June.

Quoting StormTracker2K:


LOL. We still have 45 days till the season starts. It will be interesting to see if this trend of the MJO hanging out across the Caribbean, Gulf, & E-Pac. I think all indicators are in place for an active year in terms of US landfalls across the Gulf region eventhough we may only have 10 to 12 storms.

Quoting RitaEvac:
Radar is way over doing rainfall totals in Houston/Galveston area. I've gotten less than an inch and I'm right near the NWS

Quoting wunderkidcayman:

yes I know but is it June 1st? and please just answer the question

Quoting DavidHOUTX:


It was lightening all night last night at my place but we hardly saw any rain. That cap really prevented the heavy stuff from getting into the Houston Metro area and north. Part of southern Brazoria county did get 4"+ of rain though. Radar is exaggerating with that 6"-7" showing up on there.

Quoting Tropicsweatherpr:


It says June,not a specific date.

yes I know but is it June yet? and please just answer the question

Quoting RitaEvac:
Looks like things are recharging already over Brazoria county

Quoting RitaEvac:


Actually that was bad luck for you, the storms were just lined up and training, no cap. lol

Quoting StormTracker2K:

Quoting Floodman:


Good morning sir, how are you?

Quoting RitaEvac:
Looks like a collision zone is under way for Clear Lake area, storms moving NE over Brazoria county, cell near the west end of Galveston moving due north, and one other cell moving NNW. All this is going to merge somewhere over Friendswood, League City, Clear Lake areas.
