ATL: ALEX - Post-Tropical

[Sanibel]

Steady flooding rain Sanibel...

[jlauderdal]

Power outage at my place, 20 mph winds did it, heavy rain

Good luck with that there’s absolutely no pressure Gradient. Thus far these wannabe rain bands are meh with mostly light to moderate rain. I am not sure those rainfall totals might come to pass. Well see.

It’s June

Power back on but to be clear, this was more about poor grid infrastructure than wind and rain. Most of the day has been light to moderate, underachieving on the rain totals. 2.5 since midnite.

Typical east weighted June rain event system

Too weak to classify from SSD dvorak:

A. 01L (NONAME)

B. 03/2331Z

C. 22.1N

D. 85.8W

E. FIVE/GOES-E

F. TOO WEAK

G. IR/EIR/VIS

H. REMARKS...THIS SYSTEM IS TOO WEAK TO CLASSIFY DUE TO LACK OF
CONVECTION NEAR THE LLCC. THIS WILL BE THE FINAL BULLETIN UNLESS
REGENERATION OCCURS.

This one is an absolute mess. Reminds me somewhat of Colin in 2016.

All of its convection is being blown away. I can’t see how PTC-1 will survive the night if this continues.

Good riddance. Rain is fine, the Everglades can use it. We don't need the storm surge, wind damage risk, etc. It can form into something after it leaves our state and becomes a fish.

[ObsessedMiami]

Pounding rain here in Kendall but not a breath of wind. Complete calm

[eastcoastFL]

Power outage at my place, 20 mph winds did it, heavy rain

So annoying, sorry… I’m prepared for gusts up to 28 mph!

If you have FPL, 28 will do it for sure. I was ready for it, not my first tropical system as you know. I heard the transformer blow down the street.

I feel like when the first decent gust comes they just shut it off.

[Sciencerocks]

I honestly was debating with myself on rather I should post the Famous DR.McCoy picture with this loop or not. I choose not to as it still has chance once in the Atlantic.

[floridasun]

here by mia airport now raining heavy it litght most afternoon

Models have been pretty consistent in not really spinning this up until after passing Florida.

Looking at the recon flight's measurements, it seems as if there are 4 competing centers of circulation, with the most visible one being around 25.3N, 84.6W. This thing is an absolute mess.

[Category6]

All is pretty quiet so far here in Central Broward (about 7 miles west of downtown FTL). A steady rain all day, sometimes heavy, but more often than not pretty light. One brief wind gust earlier this afternoon, but other than that, hardly a breeze. Maybe 1.5 to 2 inches of rain so far. A lot of the strongest bands have stayed offshore. I don’t see how we get the 8+ inches of rain that was being forecasted.

[ElectricStorm]

This thing is looking awful and almost certainly won't get a name before it gets to FL. Should still be on track to become Alex once it crosses FL but it's going to have a ton of work to do to get there.

[HurricaneBelle]

from potential tropical cyclone to wasted potential tropical cyclone

[TallyTracker]

Land might help this mess. Some of the competing center could dissipate allowing it to consolidate east of Florida. Certainly can’t hurt it!

Its appearance tonight would have to improve to look like crap. Most of the heavy squalls have already moved east of Florida. I still think it'll be Alex after passing Florida. Obs suggest winds are closer to 15 or 20 kts vs. 35 kts. Good, I can take tomorrow off.

[NDG]

Not a drop of rain today at my house out of this, just gave us a nice sunset on one side and a rainbow on the other side.

Well, looks like recon's found some flight-level winds of 35 knots or so, which would suggest 25-30kt surface winds (though the SFMR isn't even 15 knots most of the time). It still looks like absolute poop though, I'm pretty sure recon's found 5 centers at this point
