Florida Weather

[StormingB81]

UCF had 4.10 inches of rain in 90 minutes today. Downtown Orlando had .25 inches all day.

And to think fall and winter is when El Nino really kicks in with the wet weather for Florida.

Hopefully that will not be the case, with the ground so saturated from the summer rains it could be an ugly flooding fall & winter for FL.

We should see a lot of cut off lows crossing the southern states and the tail end will often cross Florida of occluding lows come October, November, and December. Long range OLR has a hose aimed from the dateline across the SW US and at Florida. It will only strengthen with the seasonal jet getting stronger.

Hopefully CA can also get into the action, they need it bad, way more than us.

it has been a rainy day

Getting deluged currently at my locale as a local nor'easter is impacting the Jax area. Already 2 inches+ as been measured and still pouring buckets currently.

[Hurricaneman]

Ex Grace has been causing rain off and on for us in Clermont but do expect tomorrow to be a washout

Still raining snd nor"easter comditions continue in Jax thanks to the Low Pressure area just off shore. Have received over 6.5 inches of rain all week due to this system.

Looks like a pretty good round of rain and storms again for West-Central Florida and the Nature Coast as a low moves into the Gulf. The area is already saturated so I wouldn't be surprised if some flood warnings are issued for this system.

You beat me to the post. Finally!!!!!!!!!!!!

Definitely looking forward to this weekend now! This summer has been one of warmest, most boring, and uneventful(t-storm wise) summers in recent years here on the East Coast of FL!

Beautiful weekend across peninsula Florida with a preview of the dry season. Moisture looks to be on the increase though across the peninsula starting today. You can see the tongue of less dry air from the Upper-Level low pushing into the peninsula.

Check out how expansive the dry air is across not only the FL peninsula but across the Gulf and down into the Caribbean as well. This is some trough for this time of year:

Oh yes, will be waking up in the morning to temps in the low-mid 50s across interior Northeast Florida. May need a light jacket .

Already at 57.4 degrees at my locale currently with calm winds and clear skies. Perfect radionational cooling conditions. There is either a small possibilty that areas across interior North Florida may touch 49-50 degree mark. Beautiful weather.

[northjaxpro]

Bottomed out at 52.3 degrees at 7:26 a.m. at my locale this morning. The coolest reafing thus far in this early Fall season. A very crisp, cool Autumn morning. Felt very nice. Looks like a repeat tomorrow morning with lows down near 50 interior areas.

A few areas dipped into the upper 40s across North Florida and the panhandle this morning checking obs, most notably Crestview, the state's notorious cold drainage spot. They checked in at 47 degrees at 7 a.m.
.

[psyclone]

And Crestview is expecting a high near 90. the temp ranges in the cold spots always impress me. The coldest places are often the hottest and sometimes that happens on the same day. those types of hi/lo spreads are more typical of the west.

[TheStormExpert]

When might we expect some of that cool weather to head further down the peninsula into South Florida? This heat and humidity is REAL OLD!

[FireRat]

Probably around Thanksgiving, just basing on averages in the last several years.

[gatorcane]

NWS Miami is showing some very windy conditions across the Atlantic coast of SE Florida with wind gusts to 36 mph as the pressure gradient really tightens Sun and into Mon.

[SouthFloridian92]

It does get cool at night but it gets hot again during the daytime. We sure do have some big temperature swings here in Sebring. Gets 65 at night and up to 85-90 during the day. Most people are sleeping while it's cool out unfortunately.

[TheStormExpert]

It felt great out today along with tonight, with dewpoints in the 60's all across South Florida! In fact here in West Palm Beach dewpoints are in the low 60's and have been that way mostly since this morning! With the temperatures, and humidity on the low side it feels pleasant finally out.

[TheStormExpert]

Could we see our first significant cold front of the season at the very beginning of November? It is possible depending on how the teleconnections behave. The GFS has been showing it's arrival on or around November 1st-3rd through the last three consecutive runs FWIW, with the 00z run being the most bullish. The Euro also on it's 12z run today shows a High Pressure centered over Southern Louisiana on October 30th pumping cooler air down the spine of the FL peninsula on a NW wind.(Though it's only the 850mb graphic)
