Hurricane season - 2021

**Rich Z** · 06-06-2021, 01:37 PM

Looks like the long term forecast on ventusky.com is showing that a hurricane may possibly develop off of the western tip of Cuba around 06-15-2021 and likely head up into the Gulf of Mexico.

We haven't gotten a firm start date on our home roof replacement yet, but I would bet that when the date is decided by the roofers, that will become a hurricane magnet for this area. Or at the very least, the dry spell we are having here will end suddenly with heavy rains nearly every day.

I would take a TS as i still have had no rain.

Yeah, been right dry and toasty here as well. Our stream is pretty much dried out. Treefrogs are calling from the woods, praying for rain.

Forecast is showing low percentages of rain for the next week, but that changes every couple of hours, so obviously they are just throwing darts at post-it notes on a wall.

Got lucky around 2 am and got .60" out of nowhere.

You did better than we did. We got a brief dump of rain around 3:45 am that only amounted to 0.04" of rain. The radar showed a real small green blob that quickly passed right over us.

Probably more of the same the next few days with just pure luck as to whether we get another small green blob passing over us.

More than likely, all this will do is just raise the humidity 1000% and not do anything at all concerning watering the plant life.

The yellow flies have gotten REAL aggressive lately. They bite just as soon as they land, so they are landing on skin teeth first.

It appears that that possible developing hurricane mentioned originally has fallen off of the forecast. But that area looks pretty disturbed, so I still wouldn't rule out something developing there late next week.

Doesn't look like much in the way of good chances of appreciable rain in my area anytime soon. But heck, I was looking at the weather radar and it showed we were getting rain right then, but a look outside showed the sun shining and no precipitation whatsoever.

We did get 0.03" more rain around 11:30 am or so, but not enough to really matter. Watering the pear trees as I write this.
