Drier, Hotter Weekend Ahead, But Tropical Surge late Next week.

When I started in broadcasting with the late Roy Leep at Ch. 13 in Tampa back in 1971, there was no internet and we received our weather information via slow teletype machines. Regarding tropical information, the NHC/government issued a statement "Not for public information" as they believed those not trained in meteorology could mis-interpret/mis-inform others about the discussion. Fast forward to now and anything goes. All kinds of weather "wantabees" issue their own forecast without having earned the credentials that qualify them as being knowledgeable. Here's an example I found today. See link in comments👇

05/27 Tropical Update: Nothing showing on this mornings NHC 7 day outlook. Lowering pressures and blobs yes. Lots of wind shear through the weekend yes. Atlantic next week no more, maybe less ensembles showing some spin. Little hints continue a low pops north into the Gulf midweek. Nothing to make any bets on as models continue to bounce around different ideas each run. www.spaghettimodels.com
