Weather.com upgraded their radar this morning, adding a new feature. Now you can choose to see the past hour or so on a loop, the current radar image, or the "future". Its a cool thing called "TruPoint" that estimates in land rain for the next 4 or so hours at 15 minute intervals, and should be really interesting today.

Unfortunately, sun today would only just increase the storms lol. With this system around, if the clouds clear and the sun comes through, it would increase the heat, which would mean more storm potential.

WV images show an increase in humidity for South Florida after a dry period. Maybe we can get a few showers and thunderstorms this afternoon.

There's a Rex block set up over the US trapping the Florida Low in place. TWC said the Low should slide south tomorrow and the next day bringing rain to south Florida.

The dry grass in our front yard went from dry season drought to early heavy rain. This is way early.

Just had a downpour. Low retrograding over us from the southwest.
