Thunderstorms from space. People worry about hurricanes, but the flash flooding from a few entrained supercells thundering through your neighborhood also can leave a lasting impression. Peak hurricane season starts in two weeks. The National Hurricane Center says research trying to link devastating weather to global warming is inconclusive, according to al Reuters.
As for the tropical wave near the Bahamas, meteorologist Bob Rose doesn’t expect it to amount to much except maybe bring Central Texas some lower daytime highs if it pushes enough moisture in from the Gulf of Mexico by the weekend. The coast might get half an inch. "Further inland, the showers will become very scattered in nature, with totals generally around 0.25 inches or less. High temperatures next weekend will be mostly in the middle 90s."
UPDATE "Gentlemen, start your generators." TS Chris takes on the Caribbean and the CHN gets to work: " Prepare for widespread power outages, especially in the BVI’s and isolated elsewhere if the track stays the course. More after the next advisory. Good luck, be smart, and be safe!! Dave."
