The tropics are very quiet right now. The remnants of T.S. Chris are still lingering, but at this point there is no sign of convection. There is an Invest near the Carribean, but at this point, any development would be severely curtailed by the ULL and shear.
So for today, and quite possibly the next few days, the tropics in the Atlantic remain as quiet as could be wished for.
There are systems that the professionals and even little ol’ me will be watching, but for now the most eventful thing in the Gulf of Mexico as it pertains to us remains a very silly toddler I saw running from the waves at the Orange Beach pavilion and giggling like all get out. Her laughter filled the air as she played in the waves and spray. One wave rolled her over, and her mother’s eyes were as large as saucers, but as even as many on that part of the beach became concerned that the noises coming from her were from fear, we realized that she was laughing so hard that she could barely catch her breath.
This is the Paradise Island that we all know and love.
You have a beautiful gift…..the gift of words and tender heart and I love you…….
