Here we go with another storm:

5.1 2008/04/25 18:22. 16.1 S. 175.0 W. Tonga.
I was looking at it yesterday and thought "Storm" but it was too early to say.

Or maybe it is that things are about to go pear shaped. In which case
the biggie is definitely on for today or tomorrow.

Now there is a Low in Greenland and an High in Scandinavia but the Low
that was stationed off Newfoundland for so long has almost come home.

Here are a set of charts covering most of the northern hemisphere:

And I've had a crick in my shoulder all day. (That's since I got up on
the 26th.)

I don't believe that the UK weather forecasts are all that they could
be. And the spell is running out (28th nominally but things get off to
a flying start in North America on the 27th -which is today.)

Looks like a humdinger is on its way. Nargis in the bay of Bengal is
headed due south, so it's relatively safe. Which is just as well as it
is already 65 knots and slated to reach 115 on the 1st May. That's a
Cat 4.

I must say I am relieved as it will twist away the time of the phase
and give a spell not too likely to be painful for people like me.

Even my shoulder feels better.

This is an odd one. It has the Low bouncing back from Scandinavia even
going to the south of England and all sorts:

So that means some storm is about to run out of steam; eh?

What tropical would that be then?

Tornado rips through Virginia, 200 injured: officials
AFP -
WASHINGTON (AFP) — A tornado ripped through southeastern Virginia on

said. ...

WASHINGTON (AFP) — A tornado ripped through southeastern Virginia on
Monday, causing about 200 injuries and damaging homes, authorities
said.
"Suffolk looks to be hardest hit," said Bob Spieldenner, spokesman for
the Virginia Department of Emergency Management, referring to the city
in the southeast corner of the state.

"They are estimating somewhere around 200 injuries."
A local hospital was also hit but was still able to receive patients,
he said.
Local television footage showed houses blown apart and trees cut down
by the tornado.

The twister had hit other south-central counties along the border of
North Carolina on Monday afternoon but the extent of the damage was
difficult to ascertain with the onset of nightfall, Spieldenner said.
