12Z ECMWF showing a weak low developing in the GOM and heading towards the panhandle....with rains for peninsula FL. The GFS shows this low, weak, heading towards the West Central FL area while CMC develops it more and heads it through Southern FL.

If these trends continue, lots of rain will spread through FL next week to kick off the summer 2009 rainy season

Indeed but that High is already starting to build down the peninsula and you can see those large cells getting shunted east by the strong Atlantic seabreeze...so unfortunately most if not all of the populated areas of the county will see zero rain today from this activity...

I'll start looking to the Gulf stream for some scattered POPS later on tonight as East wind flow starts to increase off Atlantic and really gets going by Wed. night...with higher chances of nightime coastal POPS for SE FL.

The real rain event for SE FL appears to be about this time next week as some lower pressures and a trough shifts the windflow to more of a SW to NE windpattern which pushes all of the activity over to the East Coast metro areas each afternoon.

Until then SE FL metro areas should expect strong East winds off of the Atlantic with scattered cloud patches moving in from time to time and an occasional shower moving in especially late night and early AM...with big thunderheads seen far to the west over the Everglades pushing towards the West Coast of FL...

Very strong hail core near Plant City. 2 SVRs in Polk Co as the seabreezes colide.

Tampa Bay Hurricane · #4494 Postby **Tampa Bay Hurricane** » Tue May 12, 2009 3:55 pm

The earlier cells from Pasco County and the one over eastern Hillsborough
have contributed to an outflow boundary that is firing storms
near Tampa. This boundary should work southwards
into Tampa Bay, and depending on moisture availibility
may give rise to showers over Pinellas by 6 PM.

The cells are very impressive over Hillsborough, Polk,
and over much of South Florida especially Palm Beach
County some really big ones there.

Seabreeze collision taking place over eastern
Hillsborough:

Don't you just love it when there is a 20% of rain, yet hail is falling on your head lol? Anyways, this looks bad, lets see if it stays in its current spot or moves.

#4496 Postby **JonathanBelles** » Tue May 12, 2009 4:40 pm

Those cells in Polk and elsewhere have dropped 1-3" of rain.

#4497 Postby **JonathanBelles** » Tue May 12, 2009 4:53 pm

Bay News 9 providing great coverage vertically.

Reports of hail covering the ground like snow in Polk Co. and 50mph winds at TIA.

No rain but lots of thunder. Temp dropped a good 8-10 degrees when the storms were at their closest.

Tampa Bay Hurricane · #4499 Postby **Tampa Bay Hurricane** » Tue May 12, 2009 5:19 pm

Got some brief moderate rain from the outflow boundary I mentioned
earlier.

Today's rain coverage is difinitely more than the 10-20% coverage that both tpa & mlb offices were giving for central fl, IMO. They completely blew off the NAM which was showing it since Sat.
