Florida Weather

[JonathanBelles]

yes, storms are to be expected this time of year.


I expected more widespread storms as well as stronger storms.

[KWT]

Yep because I've been hearing that Florida wet season has been on the slow side to get going this year, I take it its finally starting to get going a little now.

[JonathanBelles]

Judging from the pool level, Im guessing I got 2" and its still raining.

[dizzyfish]

Aww fact, that just ain't fair. lol

Our rain chances are down to 20% tonight, tomorrow and tomorrow night. 40% on Sunday.

I guess yardwork tomorrow and pray for rain on Sunday.

Great rainbow after the storm:






I was gonna try to stitch them together, but I couldnt figure it out. I have a few more zoomed ect too.

[dizzyfish]

Thanks! I just love rainbows. Hope you made a wish!

[JonathanBelles]

I just lost power again for a few seconds so something is loose somewhere.

[JonathanBelles]

I might actually get rain today after all...huge billowing cloud out my window.

Edit: Never mind it looks like it has turned west

[JonathanBelles]

Is it just me or did the cell go right around the bottom of Pinellas?

[JonathanBelles]

Can somebody tell me why the storms are still going at 2:30am??


Lightning lighting up the skies here giving the clouds a reddish tint.

[dizzyfish]

We got hammered in the wee hours. I'm gonna guess at the time cause I was sleeping
maybe around 1-1:30 it started, lost power about 1:30ish and it came back on about an hour later.
2.2" in the gauge this morning. Wasn't expecting that at all!

[jinftl]

Although rain chances are looking good for the coming week....and it can quickly go from too dry to too wet...we have only seen 0.46" of rain in Fort Lauderdale for the first 2 weeks of June...to put that in climatological perspective, the average monthly rainfall for June is 9.89"...or almost 1/3 of an inch a day!!!

[feederband]

Had some nice steady rains today... Look forward to some more this week...

[feederband]

Chances look pretty good today..

Interesting line setting up off the coast.

[Evil Jeremy]

It is thundering loud over here, and the radar is showing a storm headed towards Plantation. This is the begening of what should be a long few days.

[JonathanBelles]

Today is probably the last west coast day.

[Evil Jeremy]

Today is probably the last west coast day.

Can you please explain what you mean by that?

Today is probably the last west coast day.

Can you please explain what you mean by that?

Wind is going to shift to SW, which will drive storms east.
