Please Welcome Pastor Gary

With over 20 years in Law Enforcement and a Doctorate in Theology and Divinity Studies, Pastor Gary’s impressive credentials lend themselves to storm preparation and analysis. Gary is an avid and accomplished spotter, running his models in conjunction with the public models that we use to provide timely and accurate information on this blog. He is also a Certified First Responder and Chaplin, providing vital aid in times of need.

His goals are the same, to ensure the protection of life and property, and provide assistance to those affected by the devasting physical and emotional trauma that follows a significant weather event. Please join me in welcoming Pastor Gary, as his experience and insight will prove invaluable before, during, and after a major storm.

This blog remains part of a project and plan that we (Gary and I) have been striving towards for over 3 years, first on various forums, and now, at long last, in a centralized location. Gary and I have worked closely together on weather patterns and severe events for over 3 years, and his expertise has proven time and time again to be invaluable.

On a personal note, Gary, I am proud to have you as a member of this team. For several years I have respected and appreciated your input, guidance, and friendship. Welcome aboard, my friend!

Invest 92L has not developed a closed low level circulation, however, the maximum sustained winds remain at just under 35 knots. Satellite imagery shows outstanding outflow, better than some named storms. The waters are essentially bath water, with warm temperatures and low shear as well. The SAL is rapidly loosing impact in that the thunderstorm activity is becoming more concentrated.

The graphic to the above-left from http://www.weatherunderground.com/ illustrates the high Sea Surface Temperatures (SST’s) ahead of this Invest. This system remains a very serious potential threat, and is still expected to develop. For now, it is a small, compact system, which, as history demonstrates, could rapidly develop in a short time.
