Convert it to Propane or Natural Gas if u have it. A company called US Carburetors has the kit for around $200. Simple 30 minute installation. And it can still run on gasoline. I’ve converted 5 between my family and neighbors. All have been flawless so far and passed Zeta with about a week each of running 24hrs / day.
Interesting and detailed 2021 Hurricane Forecast from Joe Bastardi @ Weatherbell. The last sentence of his forecast is pretty bold but sobering:
"With all these things in mind, when it’s all said and done, back to back, this may exceed 2004 and 2005 and become the new benchmark for hurricane hits on the U.S.”

I don’t know what to think about this season. One very prominent weather observation of mine is daily surface winds. They never calmed in 2005, last year and so far this year. What if anything does it mean? Who knows. Seems to possibly suggest a connection to steering winds from the Gulf imo. The N central Gulfcoast is also in the hairs of some respected forecasters. Except for a few low end outlooks it looks by far at or above average. These forecasts do bust historically but if anything they have been wrong on the low side. I’m hoping for a struggling basin into August. Everyday with dust, sheer, cooler waters, sinking air and land interaction is a win. On the flip side I fear for at least 2 majors in the Gulf. I keep thinking Mother Nature will take a break. However, recent history shows different. She could care less about our climatology numbers and statistics. NOAA has already upped averages from this point moving forward. This will be one of the most significant seasons to me ever. Low or high numbers, I think hurricane science and it’s participants are on edge. I am. These are my OPINIONS and thoughts. Not all science. We have all gone through sooo much this last year. And he we go again???

I wonder if this year will be the year that the tiny sliver of Louisiana from Morgan City to Baton Rouge that wasn't affected much by any of the 17 hurricanes to hit the state last year will be hit LOL!

So sinking air is good? or should I say bad for TS development?

Yes Dutar76 ...sinking air suppresses thunderstorm activity. No "lift" to allow the towering cumulonimbus clouds to develop.
