In about a month dewpoints will be near 80 so we better start getting used to it and enjoy the relatively lower dewpoints :wink:

In SE FL dew points near 80 are a rarity it seems.

Well, it finally happened late Saturday, the first 90 degree reading measured this season here at the home station. Actually it reached 91.2 degrees. There will be many more from here on through into early October of course.

Right about on schedule. Generally, we see the first 90 degree reading on average during the first week in May.

Storms possible on tomorrow. I will be monitoring that during the day.

Another day of active convection for SE Florida it looks like. Marginal risk of severe storms as sea breeze collides with overall west wind flow.

Big complex of storms have moved in from Apalachee Bay and now through the Suwanee River Valley region. Storms now approaching the I-75 corridor and will be impacting Gainesville and Lake City within the hour. Radar detecting hail in a few of the storm cells as these storms are moving northeast.

Robust shower and thunderstorm activity in northern florida extending out into the gulf. Fast forward motion tells us this isn't typical rainy season stuff yet...but it's starting to get that feeling... Looks like a severe warning has just popped in northeast florida...forward motion on the storms is a very Midwest-like 45 mph.

Wasn't expecting the weather to get this bad this soon. I woke up and discovered that another severe thunderstorm was already in effect for my county, and a few minutes later, this one was issued. Also, I'm confused as to why the warning says northwestern Clay County is one of the areas affected when one of the locations impacted is Orange Park (in the northEASTERN portion of the county).

Rain is just starting here at the home station, with a potentially severe storm cell entering the western portions of the Jax metro area, out around the Cecil Commerce area. Severe Thunderstorm warning now up for much of Jax metro.

Looks like Jax metro area did not have any severe weather reports that I have not seen come in yet after this initial round of storms moved through. These were fast moving storms, so we did not get any torrential rainfall totals for the most part.

There is another potent line of storms entering into Saint Johns County currently and will be impacting the World Golf Village area and moving into Saint Augustine proper in the next 20 minutes or so.

They also will be moving through Flagler County as well, affecting the Palm Coast area shortly.

Looks like I might be under severe thunderstorm warning AGAIN in eastern Clay. This is the sixth SVR issued today and it's just past noon.I wasn't expecting the weather to be this interesting today. For what it's worth, though, the severe thunderstorm with significant rotation in Putnam / Marion never materialized (in terms of possible tornadic activity) and the warning was just allowed to expire.

I think the worst of the weather has passed, though, and as northjaxpro said, thankfully we in the Jax metro area did not get hit too hard. Unfortunately, the same can't be said about those unlucky people in Union County / Bradford County a bit farther west.

Marine conditions in northeastern FL / southeastern GA are equally terrible, with constant ~50 kt wind gusts all over the place.

Edited for the 99th time to say that Pinellas County is under tornado warning. Not sure what's going on there, seeing as I nowhere near that part of Florida.

I’m starting to think cloud cover outrunning this Mesoscale Convective System could prevent anything from becoming to intense or severe here in S.FL.

EDIT: Well I guess I was wrong with, apparently there was enough sun peaking through at times this afternoon to allow enough instability for afternoon storms to fire south and east of the MCS. Also storms are now re-firing just west of the Palm Beach County Metro-area.

Not a good year for SunFest (or RainFest :lol: )with the Rainy Season starting earlier than usual!

Plenty of good sized limbs down around here indicative of the near to SVR wind gusts. Took a walk on the beach this afternoon and saw a small pleasure craft pushed up to the mangrove line by a meteotsunami (1.5' at the clearwater gage) that accompanied this line...personal watercraft suffered the same fate. We all know that ignoring the weather comes with peril but you see stuff like this quite a bit. Sea tow has a bustling business. The storm was pretty wicked. Experiencing it on a boat with blinding rain, storm force winds, frequent lightning strikes and an angry sea state would have been terrifying..

Fantastic storm blanketed the city of Miami yesterday evening, easily one of the best storms I've seen in years not counting tropical stuff. I was watching the radar in the late afternoon, and it was looking like the main line of storms stretching from Martin County down to about Miami Springs was going to entirely miss everything south of 836, as it was chugging along to the east-northeast and absolutely nothing was upstream to the south of that. However, when the line got to about the longitude of MIA, I could see a pretty significant outflow boundary, clearly spreading south. Then the radar just lit up with bright reds. Lot of wind, rain, lightning.....great storm.

Remember when I said that areas of north/northeast Florida besides Union County weren't that badly affected by yesterday's storms? Well...
