Several so called ‘experts’ from the State University system in Colorado are mentioning that the 2009 Tropical Storm and Hurricane Season could be a near-identical copy of 2008 or even more intense, to a degree. I’d like to see their computer projection program because that type of prediction this far out is meaninless.

Our own studies group will be running our own analysis data in early May to see the general scheme of things. We will also be posting Hurricane Preparation and personal safety information in this area as the season draws near.

This is the list of names for significant Tropical Weather Systems for 2009:

Claudette

Just an early morning reminder to take care of your water pipes by allowing outdoor faucets on elevated residences to drip slightly to prevent broken copper and PVC pipes. The cold temperatures this morning will give way to a slight warmup over the next few days. Take care and stay warm!!

Special Weather Statement Monday Dec. 08, 2008 – 12:30 PM USA CST

A very strong winter storm is intensifying in the Central Plains states today. This intense low pressure area will bring the potential for severe thunderstorms to the South Central and Gulf Coast states Monday night into Tuesday as well as icing conditions in the Central states and near blizzard conditions in the North Central states. Hazardous conditions will be present over the next 24 to 48 hours in these areas and travel will be difficult – especially in the ice and snow forecast areas.

The majority of the models have Paloma traversing Cuba then tracking Northeast. At this point, we do not see this system being a threat to the United States, other than interests in the Bahamas.

As always, we will monitor this system and update as needed.

Tropical Storm Paloma developed over the past 36 hours from a tropical depression in the western Caribbean. The storm is forecast to make Hurricane status sometime on Friday. The storm will cross central Cuba to the northeast on Sunday and Monday and will also affect the Bahamas and south Florida.

Persons in the Florida Keys and the southern counties in Florida or who plan on visiting those areas are being asked to watch the progress of this storm carefully. We will post additional information as it becomes available.

Please use the first link below for Tropical System information and the second link below for active watches, warnings and data.
