Rain is marching in from the south already and the self-destructive sunshine is out here.

[HURAKAN]

Sorry but I have to go!

Wow. I don't know what to say. This is going to be a long night. Where on the SPC website did you get those images anyways?

if you click on the convective outlooks tab on the SPC page, click on the day 1 oulook, the three tabs are on the top.

So if I am reading this right, South Florida has about a 5% chance of having a tornado and a 15% chance of high winds?

[JonathanBelles]

See ya Sandy

9am update from me: (none of the below is official)
Layfayette, dixe, gilcrest, levy, Alachua, and counties NE to Jacksonville need to watch this line as it does have hail signatures and straight line winds involved. I think that the farther south this line goes, the weaker it will get. All west Central Florida needs to watch the line until tonight. I think cells will develop in front of the line with the heating of the day.

Except for extreme SF yes. The chances drop off the farther south you go.

[Evil Jeremy]

Not surprising, almost all of Florida is in the "Severe Weather" circle in the latest NOAA forecast graphic. I won't be surprised to see some new Severe Thunderstorm/Tornado watches or Mesoscale Discussions issued within the next hour or so.

Give me your best guess as to when the weather should start to deterioate in the Tampa area.
