MLC - SE FL Coast

#1 Postby Frank2 » Fri Jul 16, 2010 10:38 am

the MLC is less visible on the IR:

P.S. We had a rain squall move westward across this area about 30 minutes ago that was made up of some very impressive (dark) rain clouds - it's been awhile since I've seen those...

We also had scattered to numerous thundershowers move NW across the area last night and overnight (not related to daytime seabreeze convection), and when that happens usually something is going on to our east or southeast...

I was waiting for someone to bring this up. ;D

It's certainly an interesting little feature.

Recorded a wind gust to 58mph with the anemometer last night outside the house.

You can watch the outflow boundary it spat out expand over the interior. The boundary is nearing Naples and the south end of Lake O atm on radar. Neat little blob thats currently poofing. Should allow for some clearing and hopfully some heating prior to the arrival of the main energy. This would really blow up with some nice FL heat today.

Impressive - we didn't get the wind in central Broward, just the rain and light show (lol)...

By the way, the "center" of the area seems to be between Cuba and Andros Island...

P.S. Not sure if this is the same system talked about in the other thread, since they were speaking of a disturbance in the SE Gulf...

There does look like there is broad spin but whether or not thats due to another feature I'm not sure.

At least there probably will be rain heading towards Florida, though convective coverage has slowly decreased with this area.

I was impressed with the line moving in late last night and this current line is racing across SFL. I assume this is part of the ULL in the other thread..

FWIW there is actually a severe thunderstorm warning out and there have been a couple in the last hour with that line of storms on the outflow. That line may well provide more severe storms as the heat increases during the day.

There was an elongated TUTT over Cuba that rolled west. We were getting squall lines from that yesterday. This morning it looks like a warm core feature has worked its way down near Andros island? Might just be imbedded in the ULL circulation. Lets see what the pros have to say.

Those storms have now fallen apart SE of Sarasota/Bradenton.
