The rain is just about over here.

[Sanibel]

Over 2 inches in 2 days. Good heart of dry season rain. We've have consistent dry season rain fronts this winter. Probably La Nina. Summer like depth to band as it approaches Keys. Early.

[JonathanBelles]

Whats that to the South of LA?

What the heck is that? (key west radar)

[dizzyfish]

Whats that to the South of LA?

I saw that too. Wonder if it will come this way and bring more rain?

[CrazyC83]

In the April 28-May 4 time frame, what is the typical weather in central and northern Florida? Since I am going to be there then...I'm wondering what the typical patterns (rain, fronts) are. I know the main rainy season doesn't start until June.

[Evil Jeremy]

Where did this come from?

^^

Looks better than Barry ever did.

[HURAKAN]

[Evil Jeremy]

Is it me, or does the new burst of vapor look like a piece of shrimp?

[HURAKAN]

Very interesting.

[Evil Jeremy]

Well, it looks like Florida is not done yet. Looks like it will be here in SFL at around dinner time, if not sooner.

NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAMPA BAY RUSKIN FL
145 PM EDT MON APR 7 2008

.SHORT TERM (TONIGHT - WEDNESDAY)...CAN`T HELP BUT HAVE ATTENTION
DRAWN TO THE TSTM COMPLEX OUT IN THE CENTRAL GULF ATTM. WATER VAPOR
CLEARLY SHOWS A NICE MID LEVEL SHORT WAVE ASSOC WITH THIS COMPLEX...
AND WHILE GFS AND NAM BOTH HAVE THIS FEATURE...THEY DIFFER ON
DETAILS. FIRST OFF...NAM INITIALIZED THE MOISTURE FIELD TOO FAR
SOUTH...BUT HOLDS THE SHORT WAVE TOGETHER AND TAKES IT ACROSS THE
SOUTHERN THIRD OF THE PENINSULA LATER TONIGHT AND EARLY TUESDAY.
THE GFS DID A BETTER JOB INITIALIZING THE MOISTURE FIELD...BUT
THEN SEEMS TO SUFFER FROM CONVECTIVE FEEDBACK SHORTLY INTO THE
RUN...WITH EFFECTS ON THE SHORT WAVE. AS SUCH...WE HAVE LOW
CONFIDENCE IN BOTH GFS AND NAM SOLUTIONS WITH THIS COMPLEX. SAT
TRENDS SUGGEST THAT AT LEAST OUR SOUTHERN MOST ZONES MAY HAVE A
CHANCE TO GET SOME LIGHT RAIN FROM SHOWER ACTIVITY ON THE OUTER
PERIPHERY OF THIS SYSTEM...AS IT SKIRTS BY TO OUR SOUTHWEST LATE
TONIGHT AND EARLY TUESDAY. CAN`T RULE OUT THAT IT MOVES FARTHER
EAST GIVING MORE OF OUR CWA A CHANCE FOR RAIN...BUT FOR NOW WILL
KEEP POPS LIMITED TO OUR SOUTHERN ZONES NEAR FORT MYERS (20 PCNT
TONIGHT). NEEDLESS TO SAY...WATCHING THIS ONE CLOSELY!
OTHERWISE...OUR FAR NORTHERN ZONES STILL SEEING SOME LOW CLOUDS
THANKS TO COOL MOIST NE FLOW. ALTHOUGH CLOUDS CONTINUE TO BREAK
THIS AFTERNOON...NE FLOW AND COOLER AIR WILL SET THE STAGE FOR
SOME PATCHY FOG TONIGHT...MAINLY TAMPA BAY NORTH.

Guess they see it too. lol

[JonathanBelles]

This from the TWD:

GULF OF MEXICO...
A SHORT WAVE TROUGH OVER THE CENTRAL GULF SUPPORTS A SFC TROUGH
THAT HAS DEVELOPED OVER THE SAME REGION THIS MORNING. AT 1500
UTC...THE TROUGH RUNS FROM 28N90W TO A 1007 MB SFC LOW LOCATED
OVER THE BAY OF CAMPECHE NEAR 19N93W. SATELLITE IMAGERY AND
LIGHTNING DATA REVEAL AN AREA OF STRONG CONVECTION ASSOCIATED
WITH THIS SFC TROUGH. WEAK CYCLONIC TURNING IS NOTED IN THIS
AREA OF SHOWERS AND TSTMS. UPPER DIFFLUENCE AHEAD OF THE ABOVE
MENTIONED UPPER TROUGH IS ENHANCING THIS ACTIVITY THAT IS NOW
AFFECTING THE CENTRAL GULF FROM 23N TO 28N BETWEEN 86W AND 91W.
ACCORDING TO THE COMPUTER MODELS...THIS TROUGH WILL MOVE EWD AND
WILL PROBABLY BRING ANOTHER ROUND OF SHOWERS AND TSTMS OVER THE
STATE OF FLORIDA FOR THE THIRD NIGHT IN A ROW. THE UPPER TROUGH
WILL BE NEAR THE WEST COAST FLORIDA EARLY TUESDAY. THE REMAINDER
OF THE GULF REMAINS PRETTY TRANQUIL WITH MAINLY LIGHT SE WINDS E
OF THE TROUGH AXIS AND NE WINDS W OF THE TROUGH AXIS. LOOKING
AHEAD... THE RETURN FLOW IS FORECAST TO INCREASE THU AHEAD OF
THE NEXT COLD FRONT WHICH WILL MOVE OFF THE TEXAS AND LOUISIANA
COASTS FRIDAY.

[HURAKAN]

The mysterious convective system continues to expand and move eastward.

[JonathanBelles]

I have a feeling this 20% chance for tonight is gonna be much higher.
