25% chance of Tropical Storm force winds in Melbourne within the next 120 hours (5 days).
I would say “Woo” again, but Brandy chastised me for that last time and said I only said that cause I am 3217 miles away (by road). And that is partially true, but I’d be saying Woo if I was there too.
I mean, A Cat 5 hurricane bearing down on you is kinda scary, but the last Tropical Storm was actually rather fun…
There is a screen to fall down here now.
That would suck.
I had actually completely forgotten about the screen. It was barely there before I left. And when Wilma gave us tropical storm force winds a huge tree branch flew threw the air and landed in the pool. If that happened now, it would leave the screen in tatters, and that would be bad.
So… no WOO. Get every fan in the house and point it to the SouthWest to blow Alberto away…
Our odds have dropped to about 15%. Good.
Back up to 25%. Drat.
Back under 20%. They keep teasing.
Odds back up close to 25% as of Monday at 5 UTC.
Oops. Misread it. Closer to 30%
We are over 30% now. If it goes over 40% I’ll make a new post.
Looks like we are under 30% again… just barely. (Um, in case it isn’t obvious, I’m just looking at the updated chart gotten by clicking through the image in this post.)
Down to somewhere around 18% now.
Odds are now under 5% of tropical storm force winds from this storm in Palm Bay. Ireland has a better shot at it than we do.
So I think we are safe.
