First band of Elsa rain just hit....

We've been watching and prepping for the past few days.  

This storm breaks my theory of it being favorable to be "in the cone" early (like 5-7 days out).  

Elsa's cone did not change much over the past week and so far hasn't been negatively impacted by the wind sheer that is supposed to be in the Eastern Gulf.

Storm has intensified from 50 to as high as 70 MPH winds and will be the most signifcant storm since Hurricane Irma passed EAST of us in 2017.  This storm will pass west providing us with the "bad" side of wind and rain.

Storm surge seems to be the biggest threat right now.

Frozen fun from Hot Tampa Bay....

A couple of anxious early days here in Florida have turned into relief and memes while the gulf coast braces for double impact. 

And decisions have to be made....

Bracing for disaster!

C’mon Weather Channel....Isaias will brush the US East Coast over the weekend, but this is totally fear mongering!! 

ISAIAS

With everything else going on in this country and the world, this storm seems to be getting limited attention.  Local meteorologists don’t seem to be overly concerned and there doesn’t appear to be a run on anything.  

Many of us are still sheltering or working at home.  Others may just be numb to 2020. 

I suppose we’ll know more tomorrow once Isaias moves over the mountainous island of Hispaniola.   

And then this happened...

Happy New Year!?

Early look at the 2020 hurricane season shows just a 10% chance for below normal activity and a 45% chance for a normal season.  Read about Colorado State University's Phil Klotzbach's first review for 2020:
