Another tropical system?

[TOADS]

Models for the last three runs have been trying to bring a tropical system over the Yucatán north to New Orleans on the 8th.

Obviously something to watch....

I'm going to go out on a limb and say this will definitely end up hitting east of New Orleans and/or be a total sheared mess by the time it comes ashore on the Gulf.

Looks like the system will be names Nate and come ashore across the central Florida panhandle as a cat 1 of 80 mph after daybreak Sunday morning.

You know it’s been a rough season when you read this and think “yay! Only a cat 1!”

Another thing to stop naming. Why the hell did they ever start?

To differentiate the storms and make it easier for people to discuss them. The naming of storms has helped to save lives by drawing attention to them and helping the public differentiate storms when there are multiple storms occurring at the same time.

Hurricanes have been named since the 50s. Now naming winter storms began about 10 years ago and we still scratch our heads on that one.....

Just received a notification from my Weather Channel App.

At least seven people were killed Thursday after Tropical Storm Nate moved over Central America with clusters of heavy rain and gusty winds.

In Nicaragua, two women and a man working with the Health Ministry to provide aid were killed after being swept away by a flooded canal in Juigalpa, according to the Associated Press. Two other men reportedly drowned in the Carazo area and in the Coco River near the country's border with Honduras.

Costa Rica's President Luis Guillermo Solis said the storm has caused two deaths in the country.

Nate and the larger circulation it developed from produced heavy rain over Central America the last few days, according to weather.com meteorologist Chris Dolce. This rainfall has already caused flooding and more flooding is likely as the storm lifts northward toward Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula late this week.

My prayers are with those families and the victims. <3

So just back from the store and have my bottled water and non perishable snacks all ready if Nate does indeed come to southeast Louisiana and we loose power for awhile.

Tropical storm Nate has hit the U.S. gulf coast and there are reports of flooding and power outages. Thankfully there seems to be no reports of loss of life or major damage.
