Tropical Storm Barry, right on time
The first true tropical storm of the 2007 Atlantic season has formed in the Gulf of Mexico on this first day of the new season. It carries the name Barry, the second name on the list for this season, because the first name, Andrea, was given to a sub-tropical storm that formed off the coast of Georgia and Florida last month.
Here's the latest public advisory for the storm, which is threatening the west coast of Florida. And here's the projected storm track, which would carry Barry (by then just a tropical depression) off our Maryland shores by late Sunday or early Monday morning. We could sure use the rain.
The season runs through November 30. We're off and running.

ANY CHANCE THAT BARRY WILL KICK OFF THE SOUTHEAST RAINY SEASON?

I thought we might have an even more active "pre-season" but now that the season has started hopefully we will get some nice fodder for the weather blogs and not too much for the disaster blogs. I was wondering if you would care to submit this post to the Wicked Winds blog carnival that I am hosting? It’s a new blog carnival and I would really appreciate the submission. Of course feel free to submit any of your other posts that you feel would be appropriate as well.
