As far as how models show that far in advance...They base it on atmospheric conditions, pattern recognition, teleconnections, fluid dynamics, thermodynamics and all the good stuff. lol. Thats why its a general and not a specific because so much can change within 2 weeks.
No, that makes complete sense, I wasn't aware there was an actual tropical wave for the NHC, NOAA, etc. to analyze that why I was wondering.....thanks!

If I see a strong possibility or high risk I'll start a new thread.

Until then... think ahead... I'm thinking sandbags...Trees not so much since they are far enough from the house. Sideways rain is a killer.

Maybe I'll even go out and spend a few bucks on 5" gutters.

WOW..... wow wow..

As much as I love your weather analysis and discussion (and i genuinely do). You are so over the top on this its not funny. So MANY things would have to happen for this system to create issues in CT. It has dry very stable air to encounter first..then IF it gets past the mountains of Hispaniola in one piece it could go ANYWHERE... cmon man this is what we talked about last year...

Yup. Waters are warm enough all the way to Jersey, but we have to watch the Trough, Dry Air, and Shear. Those 3 could make it so we just get rain and usual winds.

But it never hurts to have a heads up on the possiblity. It didnt show this for last month...or today...it's consistant on showing it for the 27th time frame...

ANYTHING CAN CHANGE BUT THINGS SHOULDNT BE IGNORED.

And it Hasnt even formed yet. lol Thats whats so fasinating to me. Actually Hunters are out to investigate "Invest 97" which is this wave and clusters of storms, to see if its now a Depression. I'm guessing by tomorrow it should be.

Take a look at the front page of The Bridgeport Post 56 years ago today, Friday, August 19, 1955. "Floods of disaster proportions swept Connecticut" after the second deluge in less than a week left four major cities in a state of emergency. Governor Abraham Ribicoff called the floods "one of the greatest tragedies in the state's history

The 50s had Hazel (1954, 113 mph gust in NYC, fastest non-tornado wind speed ever recorded there) and both Connie and Diane in 1955 flooding up the Northeast! Then Donna in 1960 (if you're one of those "purists" who thinks a decade begins with the "1" year and not the "0".....)
