Weather and Tropics Heating Up

>> Sunday, July 30, 2006

This should be our hottest week of the year. Mid to upper 90s will be the rule for highs this work week, and each afternoon we will have some heat index values likely exceeding 100 degrees. Please take it easy and stay cool.

I believe most college football tems start practice this week, and most NFL teams are going as well. With such a hot week on the way fo much of the eastern US, I sincerely hope everyone takes precautions and we don't have any heat related tragedies this year.

I also think the tropics will heat up this week. The tropical wave in the Caribbean Sea will probably wind up in the Gulf this week, and the wave approaching the Lesser Antilles will probably wind up somewhere off of the Atlantic coast by next weekend. Both of this systems bear close watching.

Also, a big tropical wave has emerged off of the African coastline. Interesting to note that the GFS shows a system develop in that region later this week.



So, all in all, I think the tropics will start to pop as this week progresses as well.

Everyone stay cool this week!

Hey Matt, what's wrong with the radar on the News 14 website? It seems as if it has been showing the same shot for the past 2 days. The timestamp on it shows 7/28/2006.

Our engineering folks are aware of the problem. It appears that all of the graphics generated from our graphics system are not getting exported to the web. We will hopefully have this issue resolved ASAP. Thanks!
