Rain tally observations/ totals ... Fl/Gulf coast from gulf

[cpdaman]

A rather typical weak low is forecast to develop in the gulf and move NE .......

the forecast area discussion for my region (S. FL).....mentions heavy rain and i'm sure the same is going on for everyone up the peninsula even thru out the gulf coast

the tropical moisture is really going to stream northward with PWAT's 2 S.Deviations above normal (in the s. fl) area so i was making this thread to possibly tally the rainfall amount your location recieves over the next 48-72 hours....or so...

besides nothing really that exciting is going on in the tropics so if inclined .....post any rainfall tally's.....and maybe mention and reporst of hail /highwinds as well.....

my area is SE coastal palm beach county....boca raton to be exact....

putting the measuring glass out tonite .....(not that anyone cares...but me).....

How far south is that rain supposed to get to? Is it supposed to include Miami Dade?

[cpdaman]

well yes......it's supposed to be a very rainy couple days for miami........associated with the deep tropical moisture being pulled up from the caribean along with SW flow aloft...

[cpdaman]

not a drop of rain here yet

seems the forecast didn't count on high clouds overspreading the area /lmiting the heating and destabilization ....

also it looks like the east coast sea breeze is more active and/or the upper level sW flow isn't that established/or "deep"... in far south fl. YET....because storms are not really migrating toward the east coast 'metro areas as forecast' ....it would appear anything that may drift eastward later will be weaker due to the lack of heating from the high clouds

and yes i wanted to chase down a couple t-stroms this afternoon......and i'm not happy lol
