Primarily a tropical weather alert blog, usually, but not always, about Melbourne Florida weather. Initially, an easy way to tell my friends when to board up their house.

Fay gone, next one coming?

The Hurricane Center has finally issued it's last advisory for Fay. The remnants of Fay will continue to drop more rain than most people need over the southern US. The forecasts diverge a fair bit regarding the length that the remnants will hang around the southern US.

There are actually two areas of investigation in the Atlantic. I've been looking for the last couple days at the southern of these two areas, near the coast of Venezuela. The second is near 23N and 52W and honestly appears to be too far north to cause any harm to us and is moving into an area of increased shear, though it still bears watching. The first, southern area continues to be of more concern. The models remain in two camps, one well south of us (not too big a deal) and one just a tiny bit east of us (bigger deal). Either way, we expect this to become stronger over the next few days since the shear is low, and the water is warm. For now, I'm thinking the southern route makes more sense, but I'm not entirely convinced yet.
