The Saharan dust is going to get a little thick over the next couple of days, but the plants love it as the rains bring down some that nutrious minerals down.

While this may be true Saharan dust has been know to contribute to red tide. Those of us in Tampa Bay Area don’t need increased issues with this problem.

I had no idea it helped plants or red tide. Dust away. Hopefully it can suppress convection for a time...we need some drying

Gigantic bust by NWS MLB today for the entire Treasure Coast region. It happens.

I'm hoping today is my day to get the rain before the dust moves in. The past 2 days the storms left me in a donut hole of dryness. As if it's trying to avoid me.

Get ready Central Florida, today is looking similar to this past Wednesday where some strong storms and heavy rains were focused on our area. Areas from Jax south to the Cape should get a good few rounds of heavy rain over the next day or two as well.

As a side-note, it would indeed be interesting if our new invest 90L were to deepen to at least a TD (i doubt any more then that); a westward overall motion toward Savannah or points southward would be worth noting with regard to continued broader longwave track tendencies for W. Atlantic basin trop cyclone tracks yet to occur this season (as opposed to the more common poleward motion tendencies OTS that we tend to see most seasons).

Here in South Florida we are under a flood watch with 2 to 4 inches of rain expected thru Monday.

For those who are counting, and I'm NOT lol ..... another epic blown forecast on the Treasure Coast by NWS MLB. It's OK, I still love them.

The NWS should cancel the flood watch for our area too much dry air and it rained for 10 minutes yesterday and today doesn’t look flood watch worthy.

Quite a bit of rainfall over East Boca and along the coast of Broward yesterday afternoon including Deerfield Beach and Lighthouse Point. Probably received around 3 inches.

It's been nice to have some drying around west central FL in recent days. June and the last first half of July were excessively wet. It's likely that nutrient rich runoff contributed to our red tide issues too. After weeks of saturation it's less swampy. Of course the standard trade off with less convection is more heat.

Is it just me, or has this been one of the "cooler" SFL summers recently? Obviously it's still hot, but it seems to me that we've seen more breezy and overall cloudy periods than usual.

We haven't seen many of those days with light westerly flow when the temp gets to 95+ in Miami/FLL/WPB before the east coast seabreeze kicks in later PM and all hell breaks loose.

Yes overall this summer has not been one of the hottest summers I can remember. That said the last few weeks have been rather hot but really early morning and late evening haven’t been too bad.

Even if 94L gets dragged across the islands this week, it may well dump some 3"-5" of liquid sunshine over chunks of S. Florida by late next weekend. Not sure it'll do anything to mitigate the horrible Red Tide scourge affected the W. Coast beaches south of Sarasota. I was on Manasota Key beachcombing for sharks teeth last weekend and it was painful to even drive by the beaches with the window's closed; that's how bad the stench of Red Tide and dying fish were at the time.

So, upcoming Fred - if it does take the currently projected track over water just north of Cuba once past Hispaniola.......are we really thinking it wouldn't become a H, on that track, in August? That's pretty much the classic Keys/SFL August-September hurricane track. I'm pretty skeptical. I'm guessing there's still plenty of uncertainty regarding the extent of land interaction.
