Florida Weather

[JonathanBelles]

Pink fills the sky,
stars shy,
ahead a great day.

[JonathanBelles]

Storms will again move inland today. They will be slow movers, and may become strong or severe. A slight drift back toward the west coast may occur before the storms die out. Expect storms early along the beaches, and late inland. Sea breeze collisions will dominate inland, outflow boundaries toward the coast. Rain will be the most significant threat today because of the slow nature of the cells. All 4 other elements of svr wx will be possible or present....hail, high winds, lightning, and tornadoes. This should be the last day of inland strong tstorms.

[JonathanBelles]

Storms are starting to pop on the east side of the state and are pushing west. I expect more than half of the counties on the WC of FL from Citrus to Lee to be under an SVR warn at one time or another. As soon as the showers, which are as far west as Ocala and Hardee/Desoto Counties, reach the west coast, they should begin to build into strong storms. If you live in the western half of the peninsula, expect high winds, heavy rain, and a lot of lightning with the possibility of hail and extremely isolated tornadoes. Boating would not be advised off the west coast. If you live on the west coast beaches, watch the weather at all times.

[HURAKAN]

I need one of these to pass over my house. Very little rainfall over the past few days.
