The season's first tropical storm, Arthur, has come and gone. Arthur formed Saturday afternoon--one day before the official start of hurricane season--and immediately made landfall in northern Belize on the Yucatan Peninsula. Arthur brought heavy rain to Belize, southeast Mexico, Guatemala, and Honduras. Resulting flooding in Belize has killed at least two people, left five missing, and flooded many homes and businesses. Rainfall totaled 171mm (about 7 inches) at Tikal International Airport in Northern Guatemala, and
satellite rainfall estimates suggest as much as 10 inches of rain may have fallen in some isolated areas of southeast Mexico. Arthur's remains will continue to soak the region with up to six more inches of rain in the coming two days. No computer models are suggesting that Arthur's center will drift over any ocean areas and rise from the dead again. However, a new low pressure area
(91E) has developed in the Eastern Pacific off the southeast coast of Mexico, just south of Arthur's remains. Moisture from Arthur/Alma may fuel the development of a third tropical storm--Boris--which could form Tuesday or Wednesday, and move northwestward into Mexico.
Before Arthur was a he, he was a she--Tropical Storm Alma in the Eastern Pacific. Alma soaked Costa Rica and Nicaragua with up to ten inches of rain, damaging or blocking 117 roads and destroying a number homes in Costa Rica, where
an estimated 1,500 people are homeless. In Nicaragua, three people died, ten are missing, and 25,000 people are homeless in the wake of the storm.
June Atlantic hurricane season outlookJune is typically the quietest month of the Atlantic hurricane season. On average, we see only one named storm every two years in June. Only one major hurricane has made landfall in June--Category 4
Hurricane Audrey of 1957, which struck the Texas/Louisiana border area on June 27 of that year, killing 550. The highest number of named storms for the month is three, which occurred in 1936 and 1968. In the 13 years since the current active hurricane period began in 1995, there have been ten June named storms (not including this year's Arthur). Five tropical storms have formed in the first half of June in that 13-year period, giving a historical 38% chance of a first-half-of-June named storm.
Figure 1. Tracks of all June tropical storms and hurricanes since 1851.
Sea Surface TemperaturesSea Surface Temperatures (SSTs) are still quite cool in June, which limits the regions where tropical storm formation can occur. SSTs are typically too cold to allow storms to develop between the coast of Africa and the Lesser Antilles Islands, and there has only been once such development in the historical record (Figure 1). This year (Figure 2), SSTs are about 2°C above average off the coast of Africa, which has led to some unusually vigorous tropical waves for this time of year. SSTs near the Cape Verde Islands are about 25°C, and this will need to increase to at least 26°C before we need to be concerned about African tropical waves developing.
Typically, June storms only form over the Gulf of Mexico, Western Caribbean, and Gulf Stream waters just offshore Florida, where water temperatures are warmest. SSTs are 26°C-28°C, which is 0.5°C above average over most of this region. June storms typically form when a cold front moves off the U.S. coast and stalls out, with the old frontal boundary serving as a focal point for development of a tropical disturbance. African tropical waves, which serve as the instigators of about 85% of all major hurricanes, are usually too far south in June to trigger tropical storm formation. Every so often, a
tropical wave coming off the coast of Africa moves far enough north to act as a seed for a June tropical storm. This was the case for Arthur this year (which also had major help from the spinning remnants of the Eastern Pacific's Tropical Storm Alma). Another way to get Atlantic June storms is for a disturbed weather area in the Eastern Pacific Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) to push north into the Western Caribbean and spawn a storm there. This was the case for
Tropical Storm Alberto of 2006 (which may have also had help from an African wave).
Figure 2. Sea Surface Temperature (SST) departure from average for May 29, 2008.
Tropical Cyclone Heat PotentialIt's not just the SSTs that are important for hurricanes, it's also the total amount of heat in the ocean to a depth of about 150 meters. Hurricanes stir up water from down deep due to their high winds, so a shallow layer of warm water isn't as beneficial to a hurricane as a deep one. The Tropical Cyclone Heat Potential (TCHP, Figure 3) is a measure of this total heat content. A high TCHP over 80 is very beneficial to rapid intensification. As we can see, the heat energy available in the tropical Atlantic has declined steadily since 2005, when the highest SSTs ever measured in the tropical Atlantic occurred. I expect that the TCHP will continue to remain well below 2005 levels this year, so we should not see any intense hurricanes in July, like we saw that year.
Figure 3. Tropical Cyclone Heat Potential (TCHP) for May 31 2005 (top), May 31 of last year (middle) and May 31 2008 (bottom). TCHP is a measure of the total heat energy available in the ocean. Record high values of TCHP were observed in 2005. TCHP this year is much lower. Image credit:

Wind shearWind shear is usually defined as the difference in wind between 200 mb (roughly 40,000 foot altitude) and 850 mb (roughly 5,000 foot altitude). In most circumstances, wind shear above 20 knots will act to inhibit tropical storm formation. Wind shear below 12 knots is very conducive for tropical storm formation. High wind shear acts to tear a storm apart.
Wind shear over the past 11 days (Figure 4) has been unusually low over the Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean, and Central America. Th shear was 4-8 m/s (8-16 knots) below average last week, aiding the formation of Tropical Storm Alma/Arthur. The jet stream is usually very active and quite far south in June, bringing plenty of shear. The jet stream looped unusually far northwards during late May, but
is forecast to return to a more normal position over the coming two weeks, increasing the shear over the June breeding grounds for tropical storms. The jet stream will gradually weaken and retreat northwards as summer progresses, bringing lower wind shear and greater chances for tropical storm formation.
Figure 4. Top: Average wind shear over the 11 days ending on May 30. Wind shear is the difference in wind between 200 mb (roughly 40,000 foot altitude) and 850 mb (roughly 5,000 foot altitude) in meters per second (multiply by two to get the approximate wind shear in knots). In most circumstances, wind shear above 20 knots (10 m/s, the blue colors in the top image) will act to inhibit tropical storm formation. Wind shear below 12 knots (6 m/s, the orange colors) is very conducive for tropical storm formation. Bottom: Departure of wind shear from average for the past 11 days in meters per second. Note the unusually low wind shear area near Central America where Alma/Arthur developed. Image credit:

Dry air and African dustIt's too early to concern ourselves with dry air and dust coming off the coast of Africa, since these dust outbreaks don't make it all the way to the June tropical cyclone breeding grounds in the Western Caribbean and the Gulf of Mexico. Developing storms do have to contend with dry air from Canada moving off the U.S. coast; this was a key reason why last year's Subtropical Storm Andrea never became a tropical storm.
Steering currentsThe steering current pattern over the past few weeks has typical for June, with an active jet stream bringing many troughs of low pressure off the East Coast of the U.S. These troughs are frequent enough and strong enough to recurve any tropical storms or hurricanes that might penetrate north of the Caribbean Sea. Steering current patterns are well-predictable only about 3-5 days in the future, although we can make very general forecasts about the pattern as much as two weeks in advance. At present, it appears that the coming two weeks will maintain the typical June pattern, bringing many troughs of low pressure off the East Coast capable of recurving any June storms that might form. There is no telling what might happen during the peak months of August, September, and October--we might be in for a repeat of the favorable 2006 steering current pattern that recurved every storm out to sea--or the unfavorable 2005 pattern, that steered so many hurricanes into the U.S.
SummaryRecent history suggests a 38% chance of a named storm occurring in the first half of June. Given the current two-week wind shear forecast, the odds are that Arthur will be the only tropical storm we'll see during the first half of June. Still, there will be "holes" opening up from time to time in the shear pattern, so we need to keep our eye on the Gulf of Mexico and Western Caribbean. None of the computer models are forecasting tropical storm development in the coming seven days.
I'll have an update Tuesday afternoon, when the latest Colorado State University Atlantic Hurricane season forecast by Phil Klotzbach and Dr. Bill Gray will be available.

That strikes me as a pretty bold statement...also, I'd like to know why they are lower....
you don't have stormy on your nick =P lol
Well I will just say Hello stormyeyes =) nice to see you and good for you to want to protect your family =)
With that I will end the thought the stormys are all one =)
And well I'm still impressed with our tropical waves with great structure in June =O
Also looks like the Pacific and the Atlantic are trading storms =P.

Tropical Cyclone Outlook
21:00 PM UTC Jun 2 2008
The remnants of Former Cyclone Arthur (AL01-2008) continues to produce widespread cloudiness and localized heavy rains over portion of Belize, Guatamala, and southeastern Mexico. While re-development of this system is not expected..associated heavy rains could cause life-threatening flash floods and mudslides..especially in mountainous terrian during the next couple of days as it moves slowly westwards.

JLPR, its mostly tropical moisture from the diffluent westerly flow aloft enhanced by an upper level low that is along a tropical upper trough north of Puerto Rico.
Wow thank you Drak =) lol I had to read it a few times to understand it correctly =P I see its a combination of things, Well I just hope the tropical wave at 55W keeps away until all of that moves out, I don't want it combining to all of the upper level activity =)
calm down...
Is the small area of low level vorticity off the coast of Venezuela associated with the tropical wave that is currently over land there?
Yes.
this is freaky
Since then, that pattern had died in the last few years.
Thanks, I thought I might be on everyones iggy list or banned.
Go ahead... We could use a wet TS right now! Call it TS THANK YOU JESUS!
omg! It was like clock work. I get off from work at 3:30 and sure enogh about 3:00 you would see it starting to get dark and eery outside my office window. Then at 3:30 BAM!!!!!! I would have to drive home in the torrential downpour. Now i'm surprised my tires don't melt off with the asphalt being as hot as lava.
Same here!
sooner or later it will come
problem is it just may be too much all at once thats usually how it goes
Hope I enjoy my stay!
So it's possible that 91E might form into a TD in the Epace and then strike landfall in the Bridge of Mexico then move into the BOC?
I believe he was banned multiple times on different accounts last year.
What do you all know about this? There is also some devasting flooding going on in several states in the South of Mexico, and a few rivers are past critical stage.
Is that 91E going to become another problem right on top of this?
Thanks-
twins
Remember what ya said about not getting any rain, because when you get slammed by a storm you will be wishing that you were somewhere else. Florida will get rain, unfortunately I think the only drought buster that we could get in effect would be a large scale major storm. Otherwise the impact on our water supply that being Lake O, would be in effect very small. But you have to remember the benefit of North Florida getting the rain, is simply this. It will sooner or later flow downstream and into the Lake, unfortunately with alot more pollutants than it had when it first hit the ground.
- Nash, maybe this will help your sentiments.
- Press, LOL. Gotcha, and I caught your message earlier, will do for sure!
Anyone who goes out and starts wishcasting, and who was here last year with as many names as you say you had knows that calls for a ban. We are here to blog, we are not here to be trolls or to be wishcasting. Lets use this blog for what it was intended for.

LOL. What are we 5 years old???
When do you forsee a significant increase in the rain precip. here in South Florida? Or is it like I said, do we unfortunately need a drought busting cane to solve our water issues?
Especially during 2006 with the "westcasting". I remember people thought Ernesto was heading straight for the Gulf of Mexico while he was making landfall over Florida.
so is 91E going to make it or not???
It will make landfall soon; here is the CMC track and forecast for Alma/Arthur/91E, which it has tracked as one system:
However, to put someone on ignore because they disagree with your forecast reasoning seems juvenile. JMHO
Drak,
When do you forsee a significant increase in the rain precip. here in South Florida? Or is it like I said, do we unfortunately need a drought busting cane to solve our water issues?
We'll have rain chances pretty much all week. Some tropical moisture advects up from the south and the frontal system to the north will add to the instability in the atmosphere. These will be cool tropical rains and some of the convection that forms will be slow movers, similar to what we saw today. Moisture will greatest in the inland areas with the daytime heating and diurnal minimum.
by the way how dos evere one like the all new TWC in HD???
I think the stormkat drama scared away all the bloggers.
Still around, had to drive home. Will be in and out watching the twins. So, did all the Stormy's leave at the same time? Sure is much more sane than an hour ago!
...yep, FL looks pretty crispy! Hope ya'll get some rain soon!
I don't know why people think I am stormkat/stormtop...I was on here during katrina, that's when I talked to him....now I am back home and he is going
by stormkat....he's really been one of the only ones on here to be nice to me and explain
things to me. I know nothing about the weather or how to read the maps....so I take
help where ever I can get it....the last comment about the other girls was a joke...forgot to put the lol....at least i know someone else on here likes me...lol...thanks....if you have any weather updates, feel free to email me here...I am
trying to stay off the blog...to many people attack me for no reason.....Have a nice day....stormeyes
any chance of significant rain near or ontop of Lake Okeechobee?
Yes.

do you think she is ST's sister or what?
Who cares. What is this a high school?
Stormyeyes says she's coming to Destin this weekend, if she's real she'll accept my offer to meet her in person while she's here. I'm fairly new to this blog, periodically have watched it for a couple of years, just got serious about participating this year. Everyone is pretty cool, still learning personalities that's for sure.

Id have to agree.
Well, Buoygraph doesn't have any buoys along the Mexican cost, but where there are buoys in the Gulf, there's nothing unusual going on with wave heights:
Windspeeds aren't too impressive either:
Data from stations on land would be more useful here. The most extreme conditions are at 42055 -- ~20 knots, ~6ft waves.
one storm four names that would be... odd?

Hi everyone.
You FL folks can have this dry, but humid, heat back. No rain for 2 weeks. A drop from 90+ to ~75 in the afternoon with a good rain makes this season palatable in SE LA, almost.
Guys, if you quote or talk about the trolls, it gives them a reason to be. Ignore them completely (stop feeding the dog) and they will leave and go play video games or watch Square-Bob Sponge-pants reruns.
If you do that the administrators would probably ban you immediately, if not sooner.
There was an odd 97 knot sustained wind in a ship report, but the only way that could be real is if it was a Cigarette Boat, heading into the wind, setting a speed record. (not real likely, but who knows...)
AND, if memory serves me, too, they are graphics that she created as in "hers!" A w e s o m e, effort, Karen. Thanks!

lol maybe I'll slip in a little something for you...
1) Remnants of Arthur which is currently about to enter the BOC; development is possible in the next couple of days. It also would be named Bertha if so...
2) Invest 91E which located in the Eastern Pacific. Development into a TD or TS Boris over the next 24 hours is possible as it moves N or NNW towards the general vincinity of the BOC or Bay of Honduras. Once there, development is possible once again...
3) In days time, the CMC/GFS (and maybe more models) are agreeing to the idea of a tropical cyclone developing in the NW Caribbean near Cuba and maybe enter the GOM. It may or may not happen; it's just something to keep an eye on.

no one said; well at least the NHC didnt say that development was possible even if the remnants of Arthur got into the BOC
That's what I've been hearing on the blogs though. lol
weatherblog, #1 isnt really true
no one said; well at least the NHC didnt say that development was possible even if the remnants of Arthur got into the BOC
That's what I've been hearing on the blogs though. lol
It could happen....odds not great...but, nothing is written in stone.......that's why we watch.......
Looks like the remnant low from Arthur will be entering the Bay of Campeche overnight with diurnal maximum occuring. Appears that the chances may be increasing for re-development with the low as strong convection has now covered the low. If 91E does not deepen and strengthen, we may see Arthur's remnant low win the battle.
A few of us have said it could. The NHC isn't god you know. Come on, this system has maintained a circulation over land and is headed for 84 degree water. What about this year has been normal btw and followed what the Hurricane Center has predicted? The point is everyone can have their opinion and I'll second the thought that the remnants of Arthur have a good chance to reform if it gets back over warm water.
Look JP, somebody else think what the weatherblog thought.
I am in south central Mexico; it's hard to keep track or know what's really developing or happening. I really appreciate Wunderground, more than ever.
There is an upper-level anticyclone over between Arthur's remnant low and 91E. If the anticyclone moves north, Arthur will have a real chance for re-development into Bertha.
Ok, WeatherBlog. Thanks.
I am in south central Mexico; it's hard to keep track or know what's really developing or happening. I really appreciate Wunderground, more than ever.
Same here.........
You're welcome, condesa...! Wunderground is great for anybody interested in weather; that is, unless you meet a 'stormy' on the blogs, but that's a whole different story.
Looks like these are two circulations that do NOT want to die...does anyone know whats going on with the other waves?
Also...I've discovered how to prevent Hurricanes from striking the land, if anyone cares to ask...
When did you move to South Central Mexico!?
Please don't say tunnels...lol
The convection associated itself enough in the Pacific to be named TS Alma.
Alma disorganized, lost its name and its remaining convection moved into the Caribbean.
Here it reconsolidated and was named TS Arthur.
Arthur moved further inland where it lost it name.
Some of the remaining convection moved into the Pacific where it may become TS Boris.
If Boris were to form it would likely move Nward eventually reaching the BOC.
In the BOC it would most likely strengthen to take on the name Bertha.
ALL OF THIS COULD OCCUR FROM GENERALLY THE SAME LOW. Now THAT would break some records!

nice little flare up...... and I don't think its just a T-storm! LOL
Weather service in Mexico is thinking that new tropical wave is going to make a storm here and that the anti-cyclonic spin is going to dissolve. I translate this, sortof, sorry.
About Stormy whatever... in spanish a storm is a tormenta. Sounds about right.
when you say they shut it down during storms do you mean tropical storms and hurricanes or like thunderstorms...don't you need the weather station during those times?
where is Cuernavaca?
The very first ever stations were installed in Toluca about 10 days ago- and they've got a real international airport... we don't typically get much advance warning, so that's why I was so surprised to see they shut down the ports over on the gulf already.
