Eye On The Tropics

A great way to get caught up on rainfall is by the transport of tropical moisture into our region. The remnants of a tropical cyclone raining out over Virginia could bring us that "liquid sunshine" so many of us desire. However, beware! Tropical systems like Juan (1985) and Camille (1969) are examples of too much rain here in the Old Dominion.

We're just past what is considered the "peak" of hurricane season. Below is a quote they use in the Caribbean regarding hurricane season. I've found this saying to generally be true in the past. If nothing else, it's fun to say!

June - too soon!
July - stand by!
August - look out you must!
September - remember!
October - all over!

The 2007 Atlantic Season officially ends November 30. I've put a "countdown" clock on my blog so you can check off the days with us in the SkyTracker7 Forecast Center.

Hope your week is going well! --Jay
