ISP sucks

well my ISP sucks. day before yesterday I found out that they are kicking the price up all but triple! To hell if I am gonna pay almost $50 am month for dial up!!!
Right now I am limited to just 10 hours a month for free. So I hate to say it but updates here will be very limited. Trying to get with some of the other Admin at echoofthunder.com to help with updates there but to no availe. Ashame too. we just had our 5000 hit in the last 4 months too.

I hope to have something before the start of hurricane season June 1st. so keep your fingers legs and toes crossed for me. If not I do not know what I am gonna do.

It's alive

Yes my death was not true I am alive. That cold was really a touch and I know I can not spell it right pneumonia Thank god for a spell check lol. But I am much better now. Did a lot of sleeping yesterday and today though. When I checked this morning at the SPC the are saying that Monday maybe a pretty good outbreak. Talked to bob a little of this tonight over at HH and he said it will all depend on the Thoth and the warm air out of the gulf which I already knew. Loved to have seen his face when I asked of the high pressure area though? From what I seen today I think it will still be in place by Sunday and Monday. All this WX will move to the NE not eastward as bob said. Oh well I do love this time of year. Spring is like a poker game. you never know what your gonna get until your hand is dealt to ya.

As you can see I have added my Twitter here, so you can add me to that too. that is if anyone ever reads this, lol. I would hate to think I am just doing this to keep my typing skills up.

Put up my 2009 Hurricane prediction up in the forum www.echoofthunder.com/aef under 2009 hurricanes. Just will have to wait and see. I will revise most likely Late July or early Aug if needed. For now I am sticking to it.

Well talked enough. Time I talk to my pillow some. I will have to get up fairly early tomarrow anyways. going to Walmart. Gonna get some headphones or some decent speakers for this PC. Most likely a headset though. who knows though. Oh well I will STHU and go to bed.

Laters TTYL

woke up with

Oh man This morning I woke up feeling like you know what dried in the NJ Sun. A bad cold. Coughing and sneezing what little brains I have out all over the place. Hot one min cold the next. And this is just day one. They say the 3 day is the worst. Gee something to look forwarn too lol. Nose is running so bad I cant catch it.

Boring Saturday.

It was such a boring day here I almost didnt even post here. Scanned around all the weather sites and blogs and Zippo. Another fine day in the US other than some flooding in ILL due to snow melt and the rains they have had. Nothing serever for the last couple of days and nothing comming up from what I have seen. Good Mother Nature did take that chill pill. things was getting out of hand there a bit.

80 days to go

wow just 80 days and counting until the start of the 2009 hurricane season. From what I have seen of what has been happening in the southern hem, it will be a very long and busy season this year. I still feel as it will start early too. If you remmeber I said a few weeks ago of something that I read of how some thing that the effects of the moon and tides also effect hurricanes. Well we will have a new moon on the 24th of May 2009. Start of the season is June 1st 2009. so that is 1 week. They said that if one does form, it should be a day or so after the new moon. Also too The Old Famers Alamanac said too that South Fla may have a Early TS. I wonder if these two things will hold up? But what I really would like is to be a fly on the wall down at the National Hurricane Center about that time to see what they think.

Speaking of that. The Natinal Weather Service will be using Google Maps soon for there radars! Wow that will be great. Then they will be able to really pin point the area storm.

long last few days

Well it has been a long last couple of days for me. Redid my computer room, then today found out that the Data base on the forum at echoofthunder.com had a small error. All fixed and ready to go again I hope. Had to reinstall AVG again too. Gee It's good having but boy oh boy does it slow down the PC.

Noticed that hits have been down the last 2 days on the site. Not happy with that, nor have I had any clicks on on forum or any of the other links. Maybe because here since that last small out break the weather has been so nice. Give and Take I guess.

Well we have the Barometerbob show tonight at 8:00pm EDT on http://www.wrbn.net and also on http://www.echoofthunder.com Should be a great show. I have not looked yet to see just who Bob's guest will be. But I bet for sure it will be a good one. Can not wait!

todays wx

tornado watch number 52 was a buster. Thank goodness. maybe a half a dozen serever thunderstorm warnings issued in both Oklahoma and Kansas. still a meso out on it so I am gonna stay up a little bit longer and see if they do not reissue it, if not a thunder storm watch. Great I just looked and they have even canceled that meso for thunder storms. Oh well at least while I was waiting to see what the weather was gonna do I did something worth while. Put up the new page a couple of weeks early over on www.echoofthunder.com I hope everyone will like it. pretty much the same style just a better layout. Added are 2 RSS files. one from the storm prediction center and the other from the national hurricane center. Kept the NJ radar, but when a hurricane is about to make landfall I can add the effected area to that spot.

yesterdays wx

Well as I said, here is yesterday's report from the SPC 3/8/09 storm reports

Not as bad as it could have been with only 2 hurt. 1 by breaking glass and another in a mobile home. Just goes to say stay away from windows, and mobile homes in a tornado. Right now things are very calm. SPC still says slight chance today but be on gaurd please. Never know when it could pop.

Nasty looking day here on the NJ Shore. Cloudy cool and misty. Perfect for a Monday huh? Snow to my north in NH and Mass, wind adv to my west. I guess old man winter is still wanting to stick around a bit.

what a weather day it was

Wow what a weather day this was. As of 10:51pm EDT All watches have expired or have been canceled. Numorous tornado watches and warnings issued. Same with thunder storm warnings. Last watch issued was a serever thunderstorm watch #51 now canceled.

http://www.spc.noaa.gov/climo/reports/090307_rpts.html that is Saturdays report from the SPC. I hate to even go look at todays, even though it is not final as of yet. I will post that in tomarrows blog.

They say all this could last until Tues maybe even Weds. I feel tomarrow is gonna be starting in Tex and Oka. from what I have seen in some of the charts. My feelings are it will start out very slow as mainly some hail and wind. By the time that ULL moves more to the east then Look out Mo. Only my feelings. Have to wait and see.

wild day Mother Nature on PMS

Its a wild day, I think mother nature is on PMS

Had a idea

Here is something I would like to run by everyone here http://www.echoofthunder.com/ews.htm Email me let me know what you think or leave me a comment

TORNADO WARNING

Serever thunder storms

The SPC in Normal Oka has issued a Server thunderstorm WATCH for Kanasa until 10:OO PM CST tonight http://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/watch/ww0045.html
Just things to come. I will be here watching this very close. Temps have been running above normal in that area. so it would not suprise me any if they even had some small tornados in the area as well. the storm prediction center is saying mainly Hail. but that threat is there.

interesting day so far

Things are interesting today. since midnight 17 serever thunder storm warning issued and 1 tornado warning. that was in Co. http://kamala.cod.edu/svr/
Gotta love them spin offs. can not wait to see if it will be confirmed or will be called a dust devil or what.

Meso removed

Well they have removed that meso that they had over northern Mo. Checked the SPC and a couple have hail reports alone with a serever thunderstorm warning. other than that. looks like later on today could be the start of something. temps in Mo have been running higher than normal, and with this front and the area of low pressure they say that will bulid up along it. this should make for a interesting next few days.

Meso is now out

Well the Storm Prediction Center has a Meso out now for Northen Mo. http://tinyurl.com/atmevo
Calling for some hail and maybe adding a watch into it too. Most likely a thunderstorm watch I feel from reading it. Oh well Who needs sleep. will be up for a bit more to see just what happends.

Got to wonder now

Well As I do when I 1st get up I go to the Storm Prediction Center and take a look ahead. Now they have Sunay in slight with monday in serever. Kind of thinking the models I looked at before may have been right after all. Just happy that I am not the one that has to make these calls.

weekend weather

Well now it is all comming together. Looking more like this sunday and monday will be a big weather day in the south, then all moving east tues and maybe weds. I looked at a lot of other models today and tonight and also asked around and found out not all are the same. That is way I was not seeing what the SPC was seeing. Learn something new every day

Fri thru Monday

Well looking at the SPC they now say Friday and Sat are slight with Sunday and Monday Serever in Tx and Ok. From the GFS and NAM I still do not see it happening. Could be but I am seeing this happening more with the GFS, than in the NAM like I did yesterday. But I am running other GFS and NAMS and they are looking more like it should by what the SPC is saying, Have a feeling the one I normally use may not be right anymore or have a problem. So all I can say right now is for all to be very careful this weekend and to monitor your local NWS for updates.

Little something I found on my twitter.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/29530066/

same ole thing

1:20am Been watching the GFS and NAM all day. I still do not understand why the SPC is calling for Sunday. I see more of a threat for Monday than anything and more to the east than what they are calling for. Well they are the ones that make the call not me. I will say this though. I will bet that Sunday will be slight by the time the next update is issued at 4am this morning and Monday will be Serever. Gonna have to wait and see though.

Working still on trying to create a new page for hurricane season. problem is the rss files that I want to use. one can be fixed in size and the other since it encludes a satillie pic can not be resized. Going to have to figure out some way I can place it and it not through off the whole site. Maybe will have them both on 1 page and then have them scroll with a mouse over so it will stop. Will try that later on today. Bob over on http://www.hurricanehollow.org did not seem too worried for sunday for some reason. maybe he feels as I do that there will not be much to it. As I said before though. A game of wait and see.

Thunder storms for sunday

Well I just checked the SPC in Norman Oka, and from what they say. This Sunday the 8th could get a little server in Eastern Tx Ark and La. http://tinyurl.com/ysl9xh
Still early yet to know just how big or little it will be. But I do know that the temps will be right. From what I have seen so far this morning the Temps in Texas alone will be in the 80's all week, which at this time of year is prime thunderstrom settings.
Honestly I do not see much for Sunday. Only the start of things. Just looked at the NAM and GFS. The NAM is not showing anything in that area while the GFS is, but not for Sunday but Monday into Tues. From Eastern Texas into La Ark and Ms. This is what I really hate so much, when 2 forcast models do not match up. I will give them both another run later on today and see if there is a match.

When I find out more I will update here and also post on Twitter and Echo Of Thnder Weather. Until then be safe and very careful.

Cold Cold Cold

Bright and sunny day here but bitterly cold. with all the snow on the ground and this bright sun, you best have sun glasses. LOL other than that. it is calm and beautiful. Fla, though is catching the bush fires, around tampa. God they need the rain. well just 90 days left to hurricane season though. Just hope that they don't burn up by then.

Have a funny feeling that this season will be a big one too, starting early and ending late. Keep informed everyone.

snow

Nice snow huh? over a foot here on the new jersey shore.

The Snow is here

Well woke up this moring to about 1 half of an inch of snow. now at 7:30pm it is here again big time. the local nws is calling for 10 to 15 inches before it is all said and done. Well we have been very lucky the last few years. I guess it is our time. Saw today that Jackson Tenn has 12.5 inch of the white stuff too. Guess the saying is true. when it snows in the south like that we get dumped on next.
