Thanks for posting that! My area was just put under a severe t'storm watch. Although most of the activity is pushing off towards the west, I can only pray we get some much needed rain down here.

[therock1811]

You seem to be missing the activity for now. (BTW, King had to leave so I'll update for the next few minutes) However, I'd expect some backbuilding of storms in the next few hours as that large line in GA moves east. Be careful!

Looks like they took a slice off watch 412... those storms headed for ATL are huge! Watch out in the next few hours if you're on the coast!

[therock1811]

Sorry I meant TW 411

[chadtm80]

What about me jeremy??? Where the heck is my rain? lol

[ColdFront77]

-- We may have our chances today, Chad.

[chadtm80]

I hope so

[therock1811]

I'll throw some down there. Looks like there will be, as I said earlier, some backbuilding this afternoon and evening.

[therock1811]

Actually, looks like there is activity developing already, so watch out the next few hours, as you do have that Severe Thunderstorm WATCH until 8:00 PM

[chadtm80]

Dunno, I hope so.

[Guest]

I am adding a few more radars which has more action developing in Central Fla......

This is from the Tampa area


And this is from the Melbourne, Fla


And this is the Jacksonville, Fla radar

[Rainband]

Sorry chad!!! LOL Today it's my turn..we are awaiting the arrival of the east coast seabreeze then the activity is expected to explode!!! I hope my darn power stays on..we always lose power during thunderstorms I hope we do get the much needed rain though..TOM you should be getting some soon>>

[Stormsfury]

Very strong cells in Southeastern GA ATT...

And also of note: very SLOW movement as well, so localized flooding will also be a problem.

[Guest]

Adding one more long range radar for most of FLA..


And one last one for south FLA......


This should cover all the action in the se.........

[Amanzi]

Thanks for keeping us informed Jeremy and King. We have some cloud cover now... just no rain

John enjoy
