go to base reflectivity
SMALL AREA OF 80 KNOT WINDS = 95 MPH WINDS DERECHO!!!
a large area of 60 knot + winds or 70+ mph winds
I expect a large derecho with Hurricane Force wind gusts

hard to see wind at night
right now 20 mph gusts at my house

Well, I'm glad for TBH that after a dull (for him) hurricane season he is having an almost hurricane like experience.

SPC mesoanalysis page shows a low level jet approaching the FL coast. Low level helicities are greatest in this jet region with the likelihood of supercells, some tornadic, increasing along the FL Gulf coast in the next few hours. Further north, shear is unidirectional and instability is lacking. Dominant mode is likely slantwise convection organizing in to linear segments with wind damage the primary threat.

You can kind of see where the remnant low of Olga is along the front West of Sarasota, I think.
