This didn't quite pan out did it..

[SFLcane]

Only a matter of time before fires start breaking out across South Florida.

Hell no, we need the rain thank you very much.

You know I was being sarcastic when I wrote that.

.DISCUSSION...

Saturday-Sunday...The ridge axis will remain south of the area
this weekend as an upper-level trough digs southeast across
southeastern CONUS. Low level west-southwest winds will increase
and continue a better setup for afternoon shower/storm development
across east-central Florida through the weekend. Isolated to
scattered showers and storms are possible Saturday pushing
eastward across the central Florida peninsula during the afternoon
and offshore. A better chance for rain will come on Sunday as a
decaying wave moves through northern Florida with the associated
low pressure center tracking through the Carolinas before moving
off the Atlantic Coast. Scattered-to-numerous showers and
thunderstorms will develop by Sunday morning and increase in
coverage by the afternoon hours. Highs are expected to reach the
low-to-mid 90s with lows in the low-to-mid 70s.

Monday-Thursday... The longwave upper-level pattern will become more
meridional to start off the workweek with multiple shortwaves moving
along the jet axis through mid-week - keeping a mid/upper level
trough in place over eastern CONUS to start off the week. Meanwhile,
a mid/upper level ridge will remain parked east-southeast of the
Bahamas. Rain chances will continue as multiple disturbances move
through the southeast as the upper-level trough deepens over eastern
CONUS. Area-wide showers and storms are expected each afternoon
through mid-week before a ridge builds over the eastern half of the
country to end the workweek. Temperatures will remain in the low 90s
for highs with lows in the low-to-mid 70s.

If this is going to be our new normal, I may cry. I certainly can’t move out of SW Florida. My whole life has been here.

[psyclone]

The longer the rainy season delays the faster we catch up...at least it seems so. To the extent that is true it is likely a function of less rain = warmer shelf waters which eventually boil over into robust convective events. Lots of upper 80's near shore in the gulf so we're getting into that convective hot zone.

[Cat5James]

Finally got some rain in Broward... only a few passing showers so far, but it was a welcomed sight.

[psyclone]

Brevard county is jackpotting tonight. As long as someone is getting good rain I'm satisfied.

[Nuno]

Finally some showers in coastal Dade.

[chaser1]

Finally..... (at least for those of us Florida inlanders and East Coasters LOL), rainy season looks to begin.

[Patrick99]

Still haven't really cashed in with a storm since early May in my area. E flow, SW flow, doesn't seem to matter much. Maybe today will be the day.

[boca]

Finally raining here and we need several days of this.

[stpeteweathergal]

Here in my little corner of St Pete, no rain. It's been all around. I'm still hoping maybe tonight or tomorrow.

[MetroMike]

Still no meaningful rains in North Pinellas county, we may need a pattern shift which could occur late this week to green things up and fill the local ponds.

[TampaFl]

Same here in Carrollwood ~8 miles north of Tampa. The heavy rains have been all around me here for the last several days. So much for the 70% rain chance today. Maybe tomorrow? I can only hope.

[Patrick99]

Didn't quite hit the jackpot yesterday, but at least it did rain beyond more than a sprinkle, and I did hear a little (but not much) thunder.

I've noticed something over the last several years. Whenever we're in W-SW general flow, here in Miami the heaviest convection seems to stay both south of Kendall Drive and north of the airport expressway/Julia Tuttle. If a line or blob of storms approaches, 9 times out of 10 it mostly splits north and south, as if there is some kind of force field over central Miami-Dade. Seems to happen a lot. Maybe just repeated coincidence, and one year my area will be the one getting slugged repeatedly, but who knows.

[TampaFl]

Go figure. After posting earlier last night the rain gods must have heard me complain. Finally after several days of missing the big rains, heavy thunderstorms occurred early this morning (~4:16AM - 6:33AM) on moist southwest winds off the Gulf of Mexico dropping 1.64" of much needed precipitation. Hoping it continues!

I would like to thank every South Florida poster who thumbed their nose at Mother Nature last week for bringing on this deluge.
