It looks amazing!!!!

We went to the Great Loop Rendezvous, and here is the link to that.  

At least living in Texas I am used to this unpleasantness. 

Hey Ricky!  We've headed over to Wheeler State Park in Alabama for a "Looper" Fall Rendezvous. It's a 3 day conference and there will be 25-30+ looper boats (some currently looping, others past loopers) there where you can tour and talk to the owners. I was waiting until then to "actively" start searching for a boat. I have a good idea what I'm looking for, but I'd really like to get on a few of these boats and talk with the owners about what they like, dislike, and what they would change abou

Steve Have you made any progress on your dream trip? It was so interesting reading of your childhood and your dad. I was not blessed to to be a part of such a lifestyle, though I wouldn’t trade the love I had at home with Dad and Mom and the spiritual background they installed in me.  I have always had a mind that was full of imagination, loved to read. Louis La’mour was one of my favorite authors and I lived through his writings. I will look forward to your writings and descriptions to d

SPC 1730Z Day 2 Outlook Day 2 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1139 AM CDT Sun Sep 08 2024 Valid 091200Z - 101200Z ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR PORTIONS OF WESTERN INTO CENTRAL NEW YORK... ...SUMMARY... Thunderstorms will be possible on Monday in parts of the lower Great Lakes, along the Gulf Coast, and from the Four Corners northward into the northern Plains. Some storms may produce damaging wind gusts over western into central New York. ...Synopsis... A pronounced mid-level trough will eject into the Atlantic while weaker mid-level troughs, embedded in mainly zonal flow, traverse the Pacific Northwest and Northern Plains tomorrow (Monday). Surface high pressure will dominate the Midwest to Atlantic Seaboard while surface troughing becomes established over the central and northern Plains. An embedded mid-level impulse will pivot around the backside of the East Coast trough and provide adequate lift for at least scattered thunderstorms over NY and immediate surrounding areas. Meanwhile, strong surface heating and orographic lift will encourage isolated to scattered thunderstorm development over the Great Basin into the Four Corners region, with scattered thunderstorm development also possible over the Northern Plains with the passage of a mid-level trough. Finally, scattered thunderstorms may also develop by afternoon peak heating amid a moist boundary layer along the Gulf Coast into FL. ...Portions of New York... A 500 mb speed max will rotate around the backside of the East Coast trough by afternoon, when boundary-layer heating will support the steepening of low-level lapse rates to about 7.5-8 C/km, resulting in over 500 J/kg MLCAPE over central NY. While buoyancy will be weak overall, the 500 mb speed max overspreading the region will result in elongated mid/upper-level hodographs. As such, highly sheared and low-topped multicell storms are expected to develop during the afternoon. Some of the stronger storms may produce potentially damaging wind gusts, necessitating the introduction of Category 1/Marginal risk probabilities. ..Squitieri.. 09/08/2024 Read more View the full article

SPC 1630Z Day 1 Outlook Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1116 AM CDT Sun Sep 08 2024 Valid 081630Z - 091200Z ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST... ...SUMMARY... Organized severe thunderstorms appear unlikely through tonight. ...Synopsis and Discussion... Recent surface observations show a nearly stalled front over north FL. Daytime heating of a moist low-level airmass south of this boundary will likely encourage the development of scattered to numerous thunderstorms this afternoon over the northern and central FL Peninsula. While occasional strong/gusty winds may occur with any downdrafts, the presence of poor mid-level lapse rates should hinder updraft acceleration and overall convective intensity. Even with upper ridging remaining prominent over much of the West, high-based convection may develop this afternoon over the southern/central Rockies, and perhaps into the adjacent High Plains along/near a weak lee surface trough. Limited low-level moisture and generally weak effective bulk shear over these regions will likely preclude an organized severe threat, although strong winds may occur with any convection that can be sustained. Water vapor satellite imagery shows a mid-level shortwave trough over the Pacific Northwest this morning. This feature will move generally east-northeastward towards the northern Rockies through the period. Isolated thunderstorms may occur across interior portions of the Northwest this afternoon ahead of the shortwave trough. But, rather modest low-level moisture (surface dewpoints generally in the 30s/40s F) should hinder the development of any more than weak instability. Along with only modestly enhanced mid-level flow, the limited instability is expected to keep any severe wind threat with convective downdrafts across eastern WA/OR into ID and northern NV/UT quite sparse. ..Gleason/Halbert.. 09/08/2024 Read more View the full article

SPC Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1110 AM CDT Sun Sep 08 2024 Valid 081700Z - 091200Z No changes are needed to the ongoing forecast. ..Wendt.. 09/08/2024 .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 0201 AM CDT Sun Sep 08 2024/ ...Synopsis... Broad troughing over the Pacific Northwest is forecast to intensify as a shortwave perturbation moves onshore across parts of WA and OR today. As the shortwave trough intensifies, flow aloft should also increase as it overspreads the Northwest and Great Basin. Showers and thunderstorms, along with gusty, winds are likely across much of the West, with elevated fire-weather potential. ...Dry Thunder... Beneath the cold core of the upper trough moving inland, a thunderstorm may be ongoing through the morning hours across portions of the Pacific Northwest. Greater storm coverage is expected to develop through the day, as daytime heating and lift from the upper trough interact with deepening mid-level moisture. Model soundings show weak buoyancy atop warm and dry low levels and storm motions greater than 20 kt. With poor precipitation efficiency expected, isolated to widely scattered dry thunderstorms appear likely over receptive fuels. Confidence in dry thunderstorm coverage is greatest across portions of the northern and central Cascades, into eastern ID and far southwestern MT. Scattered thunderstorms are also possible farther south across the southern Great Basin and southern CA. Displaced from the stronger flow aloft, and with access to more robust monsoon moisture, a wetter storm mode is expected. A few drier strikes are still possible outside of the wetter cores within receptive fuels, but the coverage of drier storms appears limited. ...Northern Great Basin and the Cascades... As the trough moves inland, a belt of stronger mid-level flow is expected to intensify over parts of the northern Great Basin and the southern Cascades. The stronger flow aloft will support an increase in surface winds to 15-25 mph. Residual warm temperatures beneath the weakening ridge and the increase in downslope winds will favor drier low levels, with RH minimums below 15% likely. Widespread elevated to near-critical fire-weather conditions are possible across the northern Sierra and Great Basin, where the dry and breezy conditions will overlap with areas of dry fuels. Farther north in the lee of the Cascades, gusty downslope and gap winds may also support brief elevated fire-weather potential as stronger flow aloft develops. However, some humidity recovery will eventually occur as marine influence will increase with time, potentially limiting the coverage and duration of fire-weather concerns. ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product...

SPC 1300Z Day 1 Outlook Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0724 AM CDT Sun Sep 08 2024 Valid 081300Z - 091200Z ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST... ...SUMMARY... Though a few strong thunderstorm gusts may be noted in the interior Northwest and central High Plains, severe potential appears too low and disorganized for an outlook area. ...Synopsis/Discussion... In mid/upper levels, the large-scale pattern will deamplify somewhat over the CONUS this period, but maintain a mean trough in the Great Lakes and eastern CONUS, and mean ridging over the Intermountain West and Southwestern deserts. A shortwave trough -- evident in moisture-channel imagery over the interior of OR/WA into far northern CA -- is forecast to continue weakening as it moves northeastward, crossing the northern Rockies between 06-12Z. Still, associated cooling aloft and midlevel moisture, over pockets of marginally favorable low-level moisture and diurnal surface heating, will contribute to general thunderstorm potential in parts of the interior Northwest and Intermountain West. A few of these high- based cells may produce strong gusts, but severe potential appears to be limited by lack of greater moisture/buoyancy. Farther east over the central Rockies and adjoining High Plains, isolated to widely scattered thunderstorms are possible this afternoon into evening. Activity should be related to diabatic heating of elevated terrain, along with lift near a surface lee trough, and a corridor of meager but sufficient low-level moisture. Beneath strongly difluent but weak west to northwest flow in mid/ upper levels, bulk shear should be modest, despite considerable veering with height. Here too, a few cells may produce strong gusts through a well-mixed subcloud layer, and a severe gust cannot be ruled out. However, severe potential appears too isolated, poorly focused and conditional for a categorical risk area. Elsewhere, isolated to scattered thunderstorms will be possible in a very moist air mass (but with poor lapse rates) from parts of the Gulf Coast States across FL and the southern Atlantic Coast. ..Edwards/Kerr.. 09/08/2024 Read more View the full article
