A 1958 movie which introduced Steve McQueen to the movie-going audience.
It was the only time he was listed as Steven McQueen. It made more money
than anyone expected and is considered a classic these days. Oh sorry...
wrong Blob blurb :)
O.k., there's a Blob (my technical term as you know for what is more
officially known as an 'invest' or 'Low'). It is hanging off the
Texas/LA coast (and those in TX will already know this because it's
probably raining or will rain... yet again). This morning it looked like
there was some circulation to it, but that is no longer obvious and from
what I see, it is just a mass of heavy convective activity. The NHC will
send a plane to investigate it early this afternoon so it might get
bumped up to a formal Tropical Depression. It is already interacting
with land.
The bigger Blob:
The Blob movie was remade in 1988. I didn't see that one, but I'm sure
it was riveting (?!?)
This is actually a nice looking system with circulation and convection
at about 13-14N, 45W in the Atlantic. This has far more promise in terms
of developing further. If the storm in the Gulf is not named, then this
is the most likely candidate to become Humberto.
I'll send out another update later today on both of these systems.
Have fun in the sun (unless you live in Texas). :)
