[Cyclone1]

Atleast you got showers...

[Patrick99]

Freak rains down here in central Miami-Dade today and yesterday.....some of the showers I saw both days were pretty heavy. Really warm and humid for February.

[JonathanBelles]

NWS says I got .01" ....

you can decide for yourself....pics I took as the last drops were falling..

[JonathanBelles]

for those who haven't noticed, TBW NWS now has graphicast!!!!!!!

[JonathanBelles]

Magnificent sunset tonight. Glassy altocumulus clouds above altostratus moving in. In between the altocumulus clouds there was a deep blue sky. Closer to the sun the altostratus were a bright pink turning orange and yellow getting closer to the sun. If cameras were as good as eyes, I would have taken a picture, but a picture would have done no justice.

[tropicana]

loved those pics, jonathan! awesome!

[flwxwatcher]

for those who haven't noticed, TBW NWS now has graphicast!!!!!!!

Nice find.. I also noticed This afternoons Tampa AFD mentions the GFS showing a possiblity of strong storms on Sunday as a pocket of cool air in the upper levels comes thru and it looks like a better chance of wed as well.

[dizzyfish]

I'm getting some rumbles and it's getting dark. Should start raining soon!

Seeing it on the radar...The only thing is my kids got football games today...Looks like we are going to get wet.

[dizzyfish]

Hey feederband!

Don't they cancel the fb games if there is lightning?

[feederband]

Hey feederband!

Don't they cancel the fb games if there is lightning?

If there is a lighting strike they will stop the game for 15 minutes...If it continues they they will postpone it till Tue. night...If it is past half time they will call it...

If its just raining cats and dogs they will make them play...Actually its kind of fun to watch them play the mud bowls...

[dizzyfish]

You may get to watch one of those mud bowls today.

Only about 1/4" here so far and it looks like most of the nasties are south of me now.
Down to only drizzles now.

[JonathanBelles]

lol, they skyrocketed the chance of rain today from 30 to 80%. Im gonna get hit in the next half hour.
