[HURAKAN]

We need at least some cloud cover. 95°F this very minute.

[JonathanBelles]

Looks like there is a ribbon of storms developing with the blob behind it.

[dizzyfish]

Yeah, I'm ribbon and blob watching too.

[HURAKAN]

Nice to see rain in the radar!!!

[dizzyfish]

Doesn't sound like I will get much at all...

All that rain did earlier was add to the humidity, but now that the winds are coming up its getting a tad more comfortable.

[dizzyfish]

Ribbon fell apart then came back together and gave us.....


a trace.
Oh well. It was nice to see clouds for a change.


I did hear this weird noise though. I think it might have been thunder.

[HURAKAN]

Happy to know my weather station is not crazy. The highest today was 96.4°F.

[Cyclone1]

So after today, when's our next chance of rain, January?

[JonathanBelles]

Tomorrow.

[Cyclone1]

Oh. Well, I was close.

[HURAKAN]

South Florida would probably stay dry during the forecast period.

The local news here in Houston had a story that the Everglades are on fire...

Yep. The smell of smoke has been here for days and today in the morning the Sun was red because of the smoke. Last month my weather station recorded 5.77 inches of rain. So far this month, 0.12 inches.

This is a good sign thunderstorms coming off the coast of Cuba. Finally the hint of moisture down here.

I just realized, the PSU "e-Wall" regional maps cut Florida off at Orlando.


No close-up three hour time frame model data for South Florida. How annoying. I wanted to check latest models on Everglade fire drought relief.

[JonathanBelles]

I'm really hoping the GFS is right for tomorrow. It shows up to 1.5" tomorrow for CFL.

[JonathanBelles]

The local news models all showed rain mostly Sarasota County to Brevard County southward.
