Stuck Under A Ridge of Death, And All The Smoke With It
Hard to believe the weekend is already over. It was very hot and smokey here much of the weekend, and very stagnant. Sea breeze circulations each day helped to stir things around some and make it less hazy, but it remained hot. Both Saturday and Sunday reached to 90F here at my home, but humidity levels were low, so it didn’t feel like the normal Florida 90s. Those lower humidity levels and the continuation of very dry ground conditions make for prime brush fire weather and sure enough there was several over the weekend.
Even as I type this pre-dawn post, the smell of smoke is getting into the AC unit, and when walking out side, it’s very still, with hazy smoke hanging over the area trapped below the strong inversion. A lot of flashbacks from the 2007 spring wildfire season last year, and I sure hope this is only in the short-term, but the extended forecast looks grim for a break in this ridge and any rain possibilities.
Public Presentation This Evening On Hurricanes and Season 2008
I’ll be on the road much of the day today, and this evening I’ll be speaking at the Wellington Community Center in suburban West Palm Beach, FL. Tonight a pre-hurricane season 2008 meeting is taken place and I’m one of a few that will be presenting. I’ll be showing some past hurricanes videos scenes from 2004 - 2007, and showing some sneak peak previews of a Florida Weather documentary that I have been working on.
I know I have many South Florida readers out there that read the blog, so come on out this evening for some weather talk and video presentations. The meeting begins at 7:30PM Hope to see some of you there!
