Florida Weather

[Cyclone1]

That storm today... was massively dissappointing...

Not a drop...

[Sanibel]

Well you can see how the dry slot seeks us. We got 60 seconds of shower from a random cell.

[Tampa Bay Hurricane]

Traveled to the north side of Tampa to USF, there are some branches
down, one of the cells yesterday may have produced wind gusts of 50 mph or
so in this area.

Thursday night and Friday could feature an outbreak of
severe weather for the florida peninsula. Strong warm
air advection with a warm front moving north tomorrow will
pump in a lot of moist tropical air and high dew points. An area
of low pressure is expected to form and ride this front. The low
may interact with strong directional shear to produce strong
to severe thunderstorms especially north of Tampa, but strong
thunderstorms with damaging winds will be possible for the entire
peninsula combing these factors.

I expect winds to increase tomorrow as the warm front lifts
north with scattered thunderstorms developing along the warm
front. Then, as the low and associated cold front move in, I expect
a cluster and squall line of severe thunderstorms to sweep
the florida peninsula Friday afternoon, and with day time heating
some of the storms are likely to be severe with wind gusts
in excess of 70 mph. I expect winds to reach a baseline 30 mph
in gusts associated just with the low pressure area. Strong thunderstorms
are likely to produce damaging winds with daytime heat, high dew points, high
instability, and strong directional shear on Friday.

[JonathanBelles]

Im hearing distant thunder now. Looks like Central Pasco to maybe around Port Richey northward will get the strongest weather. I wont be suprised if a SVR warning were to be issued.

[Cyclone1]

Look at that radar! That's quite a mass of rain of the coast!

[Sanibel]

Nothing for us like usual. Another system that if it happened in August.

[Cyclone1]

Hearing thunder for the first time in a few weeks. Small line right at my doorstep. (Lakeland)

[JonathanBelles]

Those S Fl storms look nasty. I was just barely missed by those storms from Pasco County northward. So far I have gotten a few drops.
