Tropical Depression 2 is forecast to become the season’s first tropical storm.

Neither shows much sign of developing into a depression or tropical storm, however.

Forecasters say upper level winds are not favorable for…]]> Weather Dog 2009-07-19T08:24:28-05:00 We like our weather forecasts, survey says http://www.tboblogs.com/index.php/news/story/we-like-our-weather-forecasts-survey-says/ It seems Americans have quite an interest in weather, with nine out of 10 getting an average of nearly four weather forecasts a day, according to a survey by the National Center for Atmospheric Research based in Boulder, Colo. The survey conducted in 2006 was paid for by the National…]]> Weather Dog 2009-06-23T12:35:57-05:00 Hurricane Center watching low in Gulf http://www.tboblogs.com/index.php/news/story/hurricane-center-watching-low-in-gulf1/ The National Hurricane Center is keeping an eye on an area of low pressure in the far western Gulf of Mexico, but forecasters don’t see a huge chance of it developing.

It’s tucked fairly close to the east coast of Mexico and is expected to move to the northwest, which…]]> Weather Dog 2009-06-23T12:23:43-05:00 Tuesday could be race between heat, clouds http://www.tboblogs.com/index.php/news/story/tuesday-could-be-race-between-heat-clouds/ Though forecasters expect some afternoon rains Tuesday could bring an end to the series of triple-digit heat index temperatures we’re seeing, there may be one more afternoon of silting in store. Part of the weather service outlook still holds potential for another afternoon that will feel like 105 degrees or…]]> Weather Dog 2009-06-22T13:09:08-05:00 How hot was it? http://www.tboblogs.com/index.php/news/story/we-may-see-repeat-of-these-heat-index-temperatures/ The weather service says today should be the last in the string of dangerously high heat index readings as high pressure may finally be shoved aside as early as Tuesday, allowing some clouds and afternoon rain.

Until then, though, we could face a repeat of Sunday’s muggy conditions that made…]]> Weather Dog 2009-06-22T07:22:58-05:00 Expect hot afternoons this week in Tampa Bay area http://www.tboblogs.com/index.php/news/story/expect-hot-afternoons-this-week/ Today will show us what Florida would be like without our afternoon rains, and it really isn’t nice weather. Think hot mixed with muggy.

High pressure is in control of our weather through the rest of the week, and that means little chance for afternoon thunderstorms or even showers.

The hurricane center gave it a low probability, which means 30 percent or less,…]]> Weather Dog 2009-06-09T07:13:12-05:00
