Awesome & thanks for the report. I love feeder bands. It's sunny and breezy here today. Usually before a threat that's 48 hours out or whatever, it tends to get hot and still here. I think this says something about Katrina's sphere of influence that it's already a tad breezy here and you're getting a rainband and so is Cuba. It all adds up to a big Gulf storm.

Rainband
She is getting bigger. The long range radar is fulled with convection. The Tampa Area discussion said dry air?? Where is it.Sanibel wrote:Dark bands moving in from the SE. Deepest feature yet associated with Katrina.
Wind is gusting to 30 or more.
Dramatic wind shift here to south. Storm should turn soon, however eye is still stubbornly just south of due west...

We have had several rainbands move through here today. Gets sunny, hot and still, no birds even singing. I look towards the SE and it looks clear, then I look towards the west or wnw and it is black. About to have another one come in.... can't say I like getting the rain we have been needing this way though...
My prayers are with everyone who will be affected by this storm.... we (here in N. central FL) dodged the bullet (most likely) this time but the season is just getting started I'm afraid.

I'm about 70 miles south of Tampa and 20 miles south of Sarasota, 1/2 mile from the Gulf. We've had just a few little rain storms with no thunder/lightning, and very little wind, but it's looking VERY dark right now toward the southwest. Thanks for the reports on the gusty conditions up in Tampa, I'll keep an eye out.
We have not even had 1/2" of rain during this entire event. It's been so dry here near the coast lately that I was almost hoping we'd get about four or five inches to give the plants a good drink.
Seaswing, where is High Springs?
