Usually what'll happen is you get late night/early morning land breeze storms offshore, which will then start moving back towards shore as the land breeze fades out and easterly flow comes back in - but fizzle as they get close to or move onshore. Then, because of the easterly flow, the better convergence will occur inland and the afternoon storms will fire too far to the west.Patrick99 wrote:Have not had much rain in my area for about the past couple weeks. Why is it that whenever there's any kind of easterly flow, if you're on the SE coast, your rain chances basically go in the tank? I've been seeing plenty of pop-up storms just offshore, moving west - but whenever they get close to the coast, they fizzle out. Why is that?
That, or nature really just likes messing with you
