Florida Weather

[HURAKAN]

I poured here for about 20 minutes and thunder was frequent, too..

[HURAKAN]

[HURAKAN]

It continues to pour. The good news continue!

[KG4HPN]

It continues to pour. The good news continue!

I think I'm ready for some bad news if continuing downpours are good news. Perhaps we need to set up some giant fans in N. FL and blow some of this rain down your way!

[Sanibel]

Morning thunder. Don't know how much rain came along with it.

More bands being dragged up from south for daytime heating.

Overcast.

[gatorcane]

Lake O getting *alot* of rain again today.

Expect lake levels to rise.

1127 AM CDT FRI MAY 22 2009

AREAS AFFECTED...SRN/CNTRL FL

CONCERNING...HEAVY RAINFALL

VALID 221627Z - 221830Z

RAINBAND ATTENDANT TO THE GULF OF MEXICO LOW WILL SHIFT SLOWLY NWD
THROUGH EARLY AFTN ACROSS SRN/CNTRL FL. HEAVIEST AXIS OF RNFL WILL
LIKELY EVOLVE FROM THE MIAMI-DADE REGION NWD THROUGH ERN BROWARD
COUNTY...AND FROM LAKE OKEECHOBEE NWWD INTO POLK COUNTY. HOURLY
RATES COULD EASILY EXCEED 1-3 INCHES.

VORTICITY SPOKE ROTATING AROUND DEEP LAYER CYCLONE CENTERED 260
MILES W OF KTPA WILL MOVE NWD THROUGH CNTRL FL THIS AFTN. MODEST
LLVL CONVERGENCE BENEATH THIS BAND AND WITHIN WEAKLY CAPPED AND VERY
MOIST AIR MASS /MLCAPES 1500-2000 J PER KG AND PWATS 1.5-1.8 INCHES/
HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO NUMEROUS TSTMS. PRIMARY BAND OF STORMS WILL
TRANSLATE NWD AT 10-15 KTS WITH LEADING CONVECTION MERGING AND
BOOSTING RNFL RATES. SRN PORTIONS OF THE LINE WILL BE ORIENTED SUCH
THAT TRAINING RAINFALL WILL BE AN ISSUE ACROSS THE URBAN CORRIDOR
ALONG THE SERN CST. IN ADDITION TO THE HVY RNFL THREAT...GUSTY
WINDS TO 30-40 KTS WILL BE LIKELY AS STRONGER CORES COLLAPSE.

Which is all well and good until the property appraiser gets wind of it and wants to charge me for the view! It seems to have tapered off considerably here this afternoon. Hoping we're seeing the tail end now.
