Hopefully, the front will sag a bit south and push the heavier rain to the south of Jacksonville. I used to think 6 inches was a fair bit of rain - until I recorded 33" with Harvey and 39" total in August. And 33 inches was one of the lower totals with Harvey. Over 60" in some areas.

Well obviously you can't compare what I'm going through currently with the event going on here now with the strong easterly fetch with what you went through and all the other people in Houston and South Texas. You do not have to bring that up with me 57. Hardly it's no comparison obviously with This current event. I would never get in any type of discussion about that, so I empathize with everyone out there and certainly I don't need to be reminded of that. I empathize with everyone out there who have suffered and are continually suffering there.


I have had my own bit of suffering here with flooding and some wind damage Irma bought to me here recently as well.Have a good day.

I think we've all had enough of this hurricane season. Hope that Caribbean system doesn't develop - and hit Florida.

I think there will be two that develop out of the deep SW Caribbean. One being a major. Historically, the table is set.

I hope not too. Right now along the Forgotten Coast, very gusty winds with off and on rain showers.

BTW I'd say gale force not quite TS force <snip>


The lower threshold for "Gale Force" and Tropical Storm Force" winds is identical..34KT/39MPH.

One difference between the two is toward which type of cyclone the nomenclature is applied - non-tropical (which includes extratropical, subtropical, post-tropical or hybrid) vs tropical cyclones.

The other difference is that they have a different upper threshold - 47KT/54MPH for a Gale, and 63KT/73MPH for a Tropical Storm.

"Storm Force" winds (again, used for non-tropical cyclones) are 48KT/55MPH to 63KT/73MPH.

And of course, "Hurricane Force" winds, which are used to describe the wind force in both topical and non-tropical cyclones, are 64KT/74MPH or greater.

Carry on...


Well I don't want to argue here, but do want to clarify my statement! Now, from what old Wikipedia says

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gale

says gale starts at 32 while TS starts at 39 which is also the start of strong gale which might be what you were referring. Of course that is just a Wikipedia definition that anyone can edit, or cut paste blah blah...
But, my point is the winds last night were not to that TS level ( i felt winds maybe 30 not 40 ). And, this morning they've really let up probably <20mph???








Also, I've gotta agree + vote with all above, no more storms this year I vote end this season!!! as somebody who physically went and helped in Texas with Harvey recovery then came back to my home on the ocean in Florida + rental properties to deal with Irma I'm just tired sooo tired... no more storms thank you very much : ))

Unfortunately with the NAO positive and PNA way negative over the next couple of weeks we may have to wait until November for that.

I don't think I've had a lot more than 3.3" all summer and that includes the remnants of Cindy, Harvey and Irma.

The rain and wind has picked up in the last 10 minutes. I would guess 20 mph gusts.

We have been getting copious amounts of rainfall here.
Water in front of our house is over the curb, across the sidewalk, and into the front yard... halfway up the driveway.
TV now says flash flood warning extended until 11:30 pm, and that we could get another 2 - 3 inches.

Rain today here in Brevard County, FL has been just insane. Pretty much non-stop since about an hour after I left work at 7 AM. Radar is badly underestimating amounts by about a factor of two (2.50 according to the latest RFC bias estimates). 6-12" has easily fallen in the area, and likely more than that off to our SE. Flooding all over the place. Rain shows no sign of stopping anytime soon.

Yeah, you guys in Melbourne are getting it even worse than we are.
This is from a local report just after 8:30
. . moderate rain combined with amounts up to 8 to 10 inches that have already
fallen from West Melbourne area, as well as Melbourne Beach
southward through Floridana Beach will continue flooding issues.
This heavy rainfall will lead to flash flooding, with roadways
becoming impassable and water potentially entering some homes.

Also, there's the whole issue with the area along the St Johns River, that is, I gather, still working through water from Irma

The Flood Warning Continues For
The Saint Johns River Near Cocoa 9w.
* Moderate Flooding is Occurring and Moderate Flooding is Forecast.

*At 17.2 feet, Water enters homes along the Saint Johns River in the
Lake Poinsett area.
*At 16.7 feet, Water covers yards...encroaches on homes and may enter
low lying homes along the Saint Johns River in the Lake Poinsett area.

Much of the local canal system will eventually take the rain that fell near the coast today eastward into the ICW (Intracoastal Waterway)/IRL (Indian River Lagoon). However on the western side of the city, it gets channeled by the local drainage system toward Lake Washington and the upper SJR watershed, which will eventually work it's way to the river and then flow north toward the forecast points, all of which are already at at least moderate flood stage (one is still in major flood).

Not good.
