Same Old Story Satellite/radar looks like the same one from yesterday and the day before…but it isn’t. Pattern not changing much through Sunday. Things will begin to change next week…for the better many places..others ..for worse. Below – today’s risk of severe weather – dark green and yellow. ​Below – animated maps for the weekend followed by rainfall predictions for the next 7 days.  Since the GFS Model is the only model that goes out for 15 days….it has been predicting a tropical system for Gulf for Memorial Day Weekend for over 2 weeks now. It has not backed off…and now the Euro is also seeing it. Hard to say where it will go…but below is the GFS prediction for Saturday of Memorial Day Weekend…showing either a tropical storm or hurricane for FLorida. We will be watching it and keeping you posted. Have a nice and safe weekend.
