Hurricane season - 2021
 

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. :face_palm_02:

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.

Now ventusky is showing what looks like a tropical system kicking up off of the east coast of Mexico around 06-18. Subject to change, of course. But I would think that would be more of a threat to Texas than it would be for Florida.

I would just like to see some rain bands thrown our way from it.

Well that tropical disturbance off the western tip of Cuba is back again, but not until 06-17. Details are vague, of course, but any tropical storm blowing up in the Gulf of Mexico this time of year warrants keeping an eye on it if you are living in Florida.

Bring it my way. Only about a 1" of rain this month so far.

You've got me beat by quite a bit this time. We have only had 0.07" for June. Everything is so crunchy underfoot. Hope no genius nearby gets it into their head that now would be a good time to burn trash in his yard.
