Fire Season is here for NE Florida/SE Georgia

[JonathanBelles]

Pop up storms to my east.

[Tampa Bay Hurricane]

Big storms developing over interior central and south florida
as i speak

I am reporting a strong west coast seabreeze
moving inland...winds are out of the West
in Saint Petersburg
the seabreeze has moved into
interior central and south florida
thunderstorms will develop
along this seabreeze boundary

[Tampa Bay Hurricane]

SEVEVE THUNDERSTORM WARNING
HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY! HIGH WINDS AND
LIGHTING AND DAMAGING HAIL POSSIBLE!

[JonathanBelles]

WOW! I could see the cloud tops from my pool. Its too bad that they are heading east. Its very Breezy here.

[Tampa Bay Hurricane]

WOW! I could see the cloud tops from my pool. Its too bad that they are heading east. Its very Breezy here.

fact789 all hope for rain for us is not lost
if that storm in NW hillsboro sends out an outflow boundary
that crosses tampa bay it could interact
with the stiff seabreze to produce
an isolated storm over our area
or some brief gusty winds

[JonathanBelles]

When It colides with the easterly seabreeze, Will it move east or west? I dont see that outflow boundary forming a storm that close to the coast.

[Tampa Bay Hurricane]

oh well no rain...looks like the storm missed us again fact789 drought continues
the interior got hammered
that outflow boundary didn't reach pinellas
it was sent Eastward...but sometimes if strong
enough storms can send a westward going
outflow boundary that collides again with
the seabreeze from the west coast and
creates additional storms
but that did not happen today

we're very dry

[JonathanBelles]

I didnt think that seabreeze would hit us. Ususally it doesnt start coming this way for another couple weeks when there aere 2 seabreezes (E and W)

1211 PM CDT SUN MAY 06 2007

AREAS AFFECTED...CNTRL/SRN FL PEN

CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH POSSIBLE

VALID 061711Z - 061915Z

TRENDS ARE BEING MONITORED FOR AN INCREASING SEVERE THREAT AND THE
POSSIBILITY OF A WW.

HEATING/DESTABILIZATION OF THE BOUNDARY LAYER IS WELL UNDERWAY.
AND...LATEST RUC GUIDANCE INDICATES THAT MIXED LAYER CAPE IS NOW IN
EXCESS OF 2000 J/KG ACROSS MUCH OF THE CENTRAL FLORIDA PENINSULA...
WHERE INHIBITION IS BECOMING NEGLIGIBLE. IT APPEARS FORCING
ASSOCIATED WITH WEAK UPPER TROUGHING...DEVELOPING SOUTHWARD WITHIN
NORTH/NORTHWESTERLY UPPER FLOW REGIME NEAR SOUTH ATLANTIC COASTAL
AREAS...WILL AID CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT THIS AFTERNOON.

SURFACE WINDS HAVE ALREADY TURNED TO NORTHWESTERLY ACROSS PARTS OF
NORTHERN FLORIDA INTO THE PENINSULA...AND IT APPEARS LOW-LEVEL
CONFLUENCE COULD AID INITIATION OF STORMS IN THE VICINITY OF ORLANDO
BY/SHORTLY AFTER 18Z...WITH ADDITIONAL ACTIVITY POSSIBLE ALONG EAST
CENTRAL COASTAL SEA BREEZE. LARGE-SCALE FLOW IS EXPECTED TO SUPPORT
A SOUTHWARD/SOUTHWESTWARD DEVELOPMENT OF STORMS ACROSS INTERIOR
CENTRAL/SOUTHERN PENINSULA THROUGH THE AFTERNOON HOURS. THE SEA
BREEZE OFF THE GULF OF MEXICO COULD AID ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT.

UNSATURATED MID-LEVEL ENVIRONMENT AND STEEP LOW-LEVEL LAPSE RATES
WILL CONTRIBUTE TO POTENTIAL FOR DAMAGING DOWNBURSTS. AND...30 KT
NORTHERLY MID-LEVEL WINDS MAY SUPPORT MARGINALLY SUFFICIENT DEEP
LAYER SHEAR FOR UPDRAFT ROTATION. A SHORT-LIVED SUPERCELL OR TWO
MAY FORM...WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF AN ISOLATED TORNADO...IN ADDITION
TO ENHANCED RISK FOR LARGE HAIL.

Ditto...we need the rain badly...my lawn is turning brown, and I can only run the sprinklers one day a week.

[jdray]

I saw three sprinkles..... then they went away!

[nicdeedoop]

Yes we could definatly use some rain!

A fire in Walton County is now estimated at roughly 1200 acres, as firefighters continue to work towards controlling the blaze

[Nimbus]

The thunderstorms yesterday just started more fires.

Now we have dry windy conditions behind the front.

Doubt if central/south Florida is going to get much of a soaking from the coastal hybrid storm.

[Bellarose]

I'm not in NE FL (I'm just north of Tampa), but does anyone know of any links that show fairly exact locations of the fires? I woke up this morning and my car had a little layer ash and the smell of smoke is really bad. Can't find anything on any of the local news sites, other than maps with fire icons. Thanks!
