Hurricane Prediction and Tracking Resources

How did it go up there John? How about other folks up the coast, some good swells come in? It was flat as a pond off the SE coast on Sunday. That is except for these mysterious sets that would move in out of the blue every once in a while. Bill swells likely enough, way to the south of the system too.

I had quietly put this away around the first of November. Impressions can sometimes be wrong, regardless of how much you would like them to be true. So, back up it goes for a while longer. Fingers crossed and best of luck to the folks in the Gulf dealing with Ida.

Just added some new resources to the top of the list of weather sites. They include some powerful new GIS/Sat. Map interactive pages. Check it out!

Looking wet and breezy for Friday and Saturday in the SE. Hope this one doesn't amount to much.
