The 2008 rainy season has officially begun. According the the NWS Miami May 22 was the beginning, two days later than the median start date of May 20. This is generally calculated by using the daily minimum average temperature of the dew point. After three days of a minimum temperature at or above 70F and average dew point at or above 70F the rainy season has begun. We were almost there last week until the previous cold front came through the area drying us out and lowering our low temperatures a bit.
Earlier tonight the NHC issued a special statement about the remnants of Tropical Depression Alma now in the Gulf of Honduras. Current thinking is that this system will not immediately regenerate but will need to be watched since the models indicate that it may become a closed circulation system again. Most of the models do track the system heading back towards the west. Of course check back here for updates.
One last reminder, the 2008 Hurricane Season begins on Sunday.
More updates tomorrow.
