Something is Brewing Off the Southeast Coast
This blob of thunderstorms erupted today of the coast of South Carolina. There’s a good chance that this blob is turning into a tropical depression as I type, and given the current weather pattern, could possibly bring some much-needed globules of moisture next week. This is what the weather folks in Taunton have to say about it:
OTHER FEATURE WORTH MENTIONING WILL BE THE QUASI TROPICAL WAVE CURRENTLY OFF THE SOUTHEAST U.S. COAST. AS BROAD SOUTHWEST FLOW BECOMES ESTABLISHED ALONG THE EASTERN SEABOARD EARLY NEXT WEEK IN RESPONSE TO LONG WAVE TROF OVER THE GREAT LAKES AND NORTHEAST…THIS SYSTEM WILL BEGIN MOVING NORTHEAST AND POSSIBLY TRACK ACROSS OR NEAR SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND MON OR TUE. THIS MAY RESULT IN A WIDESPREAD APPRECIABLE RAINFALL EVENT.
The uppercase letters don’t necessarily mean they’re “yelling,” that’s just the way the National Weather Service discussions are formatted. But you never know – weather folks get excited about this kind of stuff.
We need globules of moisture.
