Cil, I like your picture of the person ducking behind the couch. Too cute! They are saying it mainly is going to be a rainmaker anyway. Hope it puts out those forest fires that are burning down there. Too Far Tampa, don't know how hot it has been down there, but it was 98 here today. We could use that rain up here. We are below normal for the year and month! Need it to cool things off!

it has rained for 2 days here in our little corner of the world, and a high today of 58. where o where did summer go ?

In Destin, the waves are about 6 feet, wind about 15 mph. The Gulf has white caps all over it and the beaches have been closed.

Looks like rain tonight, we need it so badly!

I wonder how much of the beaches are going to get eaten up by this small system.

I have my camera ready. Took some photos this evening and will again in the morning.

So how's the weather there? It appears some of the radar loops show the cloud cover is starting to reach land. Any views of this weather from land yet?

Kurt & SJ, have your cameras handy?

Yes, here are some photos from today at Seaside, WaterColor, and Blue Mtn Beach.

We are only one week behind last year, when TS Arlene roared through, nibbling away on the dunes. Do you guys remember that this is only the 11th day of Hurricane Season?

Audie, I would be glad to trade with you. You can have our 98 degrees and I will even take your 58 and the two days of rain! I like temps like that. I do not mind the freezing temps either. Sure prefer them over near 100!

Double red and big waves at sunset. Full moon and high tide will mean high water. Anything left on the beach will be buried or washed away in the AM including a nice rental canoe I saw.

Awesome breezes, surf, and sunset/moonrise.

Tropical Storm Warnings issued all the way North to Indian Pass. Path has shifted Northward more than they originally thought......

Looks like another Arlene?????

i really don't want your 98 degrees - too hot for audie ! but a nice 70 with some sun would be lovely. i don't think 70 degrees is too much to ask for, it's practically the middle of june for crying out loud ! i think it may be decent today and tomorrow, but i am quite sure that will probably change since i am off work !

Over Cedar Key.

Arlene passed well to the west of us which put us on the bad side. Although we are getting some big surf, not much blow.
