Re: Florida Weather
I'm getting the distinct feeling that if you're on the SE FL coast and love storms......this is not going to be your rainy season. I swear this is going to be an extremely East-Coast seabreeze-dominated season. We were supposed to get rain today with storm motion this way, but they've quietly backed off on that. I suspect that we are going to head right into SAL season in a few weeks with very little rain having fallen in a persistent easterly flow regime.

Re: Florida Weather
All of the much anticipated storms are over SW Florida or over the Bahamas with metro SE Florida in the middle with not much. So far the wet forecast for metro SE Florida for second half of Memorial Day weekend has not materialized.

Re: Florida Weather
The ECSB just booked it across the state this afternoon.....and that was with a trough in the vicinity. Scattered midnight scraps are going to be our only chance around here, I'm afraid.

Re: Florida Weather
The much advertised rain is not materialized and I’m afraid our drought will continue. The only hope is the mid level trough moves west from the Bahamas over us and that’s not forecasted, it’s a wish from me.

Re: Florida Weather
Officially at the Orlando Int'l we ended up May with only 0.17" of rain, a new record for the driest May on record. My area did get some rain on Saturday but it did nothing to my brown grass.

Re: Florida Weather
Looking at the WV loop, there is still quite a band of dry air covering most of the state, at all levels of the atmosphere. I think we struggle to get significant rain until this goes away. Even in South Florida with proximity to that ULL, the dry air seems to be wrapping into it and eroding showers and thunderstorms that do try to form.

Roy Leep, beloved former Fox 13 chief meteorologist, dies at 88
A very sad day here in the Tampa Bay area. Roy was a true legend in the field of broadcast meteorology!! My sympathy, thoughts and prayers to his wife Jane, his family, and the WTVT Fox 13 Family.

Re: Florida Weather
I grew up watching Roy. For a school project in middle school long ago, I was able to interview him and see his studio at Fox 13. RIP, you are an icon.
As far as rain, the spicket finally turned on here in South Florida with numerous scattered showers and thunderstorms.

Re: Florida Weather
This east wind pattern has yielded little precip for my locale in SE Palm Beach County and it looks to continue for a while. Rain chances look below normal for this time of year and June is typically the wettest month here.

It's same here in eastern Broward. We got a few showers the other day but nothing besides that little bit. It's been a very, very dry few weeks. Looks like the forecast for the next week or so is keeping things relatively dry too.
Great fishing weather though

Re: Florida Weather
The rainiest month of the year and we can not get a drop of rain and I’m talking about coastal SE Florida. Looking at the 7 day the highest rain chance is 20 %. I don’t wish a hurricane here but some kind of tropical system is what we need here as far as the rain goes because I’ve been down here a long time and I haven’t seen a May or June this dry.

Re: Florida Weather
Interesting.....just throwing this out there. I swear we get less storminess than we once did, especially here in Dade and Broward.

Re: Florida Weather
My neighborhood had maybe half of inch of rain on Friday and that was it, bone dry since then again. You can't tell that it rained only 3 days ago.

Re: Florida Weather
The way I see it is it being dry now could indicate possible tropical troubles later in the summer, or at the very least a bunch of rain come mid to late month so we'll see because I've personally noticed if rainy season is late tropical trouble isn't far behind but that could be an old wives tale

Really tired of this. The new normal (of the last decade) of these delayed wet-seasons.

I agree when are we going to get more than a 5 second sprinkle on my windshield.This weather pattern is hurting us and the canal levels are extremely low to the point I can walk across the other side at one area and not get my feet wet.

Re: Florida Weather
Some dew points across SE Florida are a actually just below 70F this evening. It feels nice and comfortable out there considering we are heading into mid-June, like we are still stuck in Spring. Can’t remember a June this dry and cool. The cooler than normal SSTs across the Bahamas may be contributing.

Definitely didn't feel cool this afternoon. Heat Index was 96 here in Broward
