Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
800 AM EDT Wed Jun 1 2022

For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:

1. Near the Yucatan Peninsula and Southeastern Gulf of Mexico:
A large area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms located
over the northwestern Caribbean Sea and Yucatan Peninsula is
associated with a broad area of low pressure. Environmental
conditions appear conducive for gradual development, and this
system is likely to become a tropical depression while it moves
northeastward over the northwestern Caribbean Sea and southeastern
Gulf of Mexico during the next couple of days. Regardless of
development, locally heavy rainfall is likely across portions of
southeastern Mexico, the Yucatan Peninsula, and Belize during the
next day or so, spreading across western Cuba, South Florida, and
the Florida Keys on Friday and Saturday. Interests in the Yucatan
Peninsula, western Cuba, the Florida Keys, and the Florida Peninsula
should monitor the progress of this system.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...high...70 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...high...80 percent.

2. Southwestern Atlantic northeast of the Bahamas:
A weak surface trough located around 200 miles northeast of the
central Bahamas is producing disorganized shower activity as it
interacts with an upper-level trough. Surface pressures are
currently high across the area, and significant development of this
system appears unlikely as it moves generally east-northeastward
over the next several days away from the southeastern United States.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...low...10 percent.

Today marks the first day of the Atlantic hurricane season, which
will run until November 30. Long-term averages for the number of
named storms, hurricanes, and major hurricanes are 14, 7, and 3,
respectively.

The list of names for 2022 is as follows:

I’m always conflicted about hurricane season. On one hand I hate to see people lose their homes and all the property damage that goes along with these storms. On the other hand DH makes mad overtime when the storms hit.

Either way it always escapes my mind that hurricane season starts in June, so thanks for always keeping everyone in the know on these storms @Arcadian

When Florence was coming it was a cat 4 for us and we chose to leave and go to Ohio to my sister's (3 and under we stay) by the time we got to Ohio it was downgraded to a slow moving 1 but it hung out here pouring rain on NC for days and so much of our area was flooded badly. Due to the flooding roads we couldn't return for 10 days, when we got back we were lucky our house did not sustain damage or flooding but all the streets arounds our street did have terrible flood damage and many lost everything. We did have damage to the cars we chose to leave parked on base (metal debre flying around scratched up 2 of our cars)

The first 2 weekends in June (I believe its 10 days) in FL is tax free for disaster preparedness on certain items. I totally take advantage of that.


This week and next will be me checking on the things I'll need for the season. I'll be stocking up on cans of soup, mainly because they're super portable, filling, can be eaten cold, don't need a can opener, the dogs can eat them too. I usually get 40 cans. Instead of buying water, I have a 100gallon outdoor water tank because I updated the entire house to high level filtration that dosen't need electricity. Its not filtered, but I can hook it directly to the filter and use it for the house if there's an interruption of water.

Also this year because FPL is trippin, I'm making the move to solar to offset the bill. I moved to solar. No way in hell should I have a 180.00 electric bill using LESS than the previous year :x2 And if it gives you any idea, last years bill was was 132.00. The rates are only going to go up.

Also with solar, I'm also in process of having 2 backup batteries installed. Not doing Tesla for a ton of reasons, most of which has to do with the fact they aren't as effecient as Enphase IQ batteries + availability and price. I will at least this year keep my generator but having those walls and the panels ensures that I will have power to my home (we have rolling brownouts here at times as well) The process is going to be slow but I'm hopeful to have it completed by July.

Back to the current storm, there might be some wind but again, no model is seeing this thing turn into a mega storm and biggest threat is the rain amounts (they'll be pretty massive)

It will likely be a weak Tropical Storm if it becomes anything. Still, having one so early in the season means we may have quite a bit of excitement this year.

Wow, you're really on top of things with your house @Arcadian (I'm impressed).

My prep...I need to make sure our propane tank is fairly full. Need to pick up some soup. Probably get some batteries.

While we do need some rain, hoping that these 2 disturbances don't cause anyone any damage!

Welp, we got ourselves a cone. I got a call from the Palm Beach Country saying we're under Tropical Storm watch. That was quick.

well, if y'all jutted out into the ocean like a peen, you might! :lol:

little known fact that FL also has a fire season, which just ended. There were some pretty big fires 10-15 miles west of my house a couple of days ago, however the recent drenching took care of that.

You could have had ours no problem...lol We got LOTS of water, more than I really wanted to see. Street water came up to the sidewalks here during the worst parts of the storm which was about 2am to 7am. And thats when we got the 40 MPH Gusts along with that rain. Parts of West palm along Flagler got flooded (per usual) and also parts of Hollywood/Ft Lauderdale as well.

Miami on the other hand is pretty trashed because they had all the storm rain + high tide... but you spit in the wrong direction and it floods down there. Looking at some of the footage now and its pretty bad.
