Very intense rainfall, which is common in these summertime t-storms. The fountain was the choise of my parents and the common waterhole of many bird species in my neighborhood. Sometimes it can turn violent when the predators (cats) also want to a drink.

Miami: 3.04 inches

Based on the records of the NWS Miami office, the last time that more than 3 inches of rain were received in one day was May 15, 2006. Just over 4 inches of rain were accumulated that day.

So thats a very wet day then Hurakan, which is really a good thing after the dry May and will hlep to erode the dry anomalies that have been present across that area.

Yea, you beat me to that fact. It is a shame with all the rain though, the record of 1995 still stands grrrrr i hate when that happens.

The only problem with that much rain coming down so fast it the run off. Much better to get that much rain during several hours so it has a chance to sink into the earth. 8-)

This is the intersection of 119 AVE and Coral Way three hours after the heavy rainfall. This intersection is always flooding during intense rainfall.

I've had a slight change in thought in the last few hours. If you look out in the GOM there is a, dare I say, a blob. This is going to make for a rainy day tomorrow across Florida. NWS has popped up the POPs to 60% over most of the Bay area, but at least for now, Im not going to be so strightforward with it. I think POPs will be 50% tomorrow Orlando (or Hernando County) South, 60% West and South of Lake O. 40% north of Orlando. The moisture will reach SW FL in the next few hours to the early morning hours of tomorrow and spread NEwrd. Possible washout in isolated spots for tomorrow. Temperatures should be pretty close to normal.

Well thats not bad fact as at least it should mean that June will not come in nearly as below average as May was in terms of precip, indeed where abouts is S.Florida in terms of the June average right now?

Stormy North Florida.

#2151 Postby **psyclone** » Sat Jun 21, 2008 10:02 am

we got bombed with very heavy rain and small hail earlier. nearly 1.5 inches so far. that storm has headed east and has produced nickel sized hail in hillsborough county. meanwhile, more action is headed for the coast from clearwater beach northward. this much needed rain is great news.

#2152 Postby **dizzyfish** » Sat Jun 21, 2008 10:10 am

The storms have been sitting off the coast from me all morning. Only .05 so far.
Looks like the heaviest are staying to my south.

And, it looks like Palm Harbor is going to get nailed again!

Is Training possible today?

#2159 Postby **psyclone** » Sat Jun 21, 2008 12:10 pm

there has been some training. I have received 2.4" so far. radar shows more rain headed the Caladesi/honeymoon region and points east and northeast. these areas have already been dumped on. normally such rains would cause at least some standing water but as soon as the rain intensity has let up the puddles disappear, illustrating how dry the soil is. it is just soaking it up.

Quite a few severe warnings going up in central FL right now!
