Florida Weather

[gsytch]

Beautiful day! 67F this morning and has not topped 84F today, lower humidity, bright sunny skies. Hopefully, some of the coming rains will hit my house as Oct has been bone dry here. Rained once, .20", earlier in the month nothing since. After such a wet season it would be nice to have some of that now.

First trip into the 30s possible here in Tallahassee next week. A few of the models bring us down to 40-42 degrees, and they are generally on the warm side.

[gsytch]

Besides this early cold front courtesy of TS/Hurr Sandy, it has been so dry here. Not a drop since Oct 1st. That is 25 straight days (except for a light shower one day for 5 mins). Will go down as one of the driest Oct here ever as dry weather is predicted with the cold front. Windy today gusts to 38mph....plants dried out or blown over. Yuck! Hope this does spell a bad winter!

We got some decent rain as a result of Sandy's pass-by. Let's see what November holds....hey there could be more tropical systems, stalled fronts, etc!

41.3 degrees currently with west breeze at around 10 mph at my location. Temp will probably drop another couple of degrees up to sunrise. Beautiful autumn morning. Sandy's massive circulation on her back side bringing down Canadian cold air mass all the way down into our region.

Nice cool weather will continue for the next few days. Could see record lows Wednesday morning inland areas of Northeast Florida and Southeast Georgia.

As of tomorrow, it will be a month without measurable rainfall. Clearly you can see lawns browning, and my yard starting to show the lack of moisture. The forecast does not look good for rainfall for the next week. Chilly, windy conditions only added to the dryness. Four straight days of winds 20-30mph with gusts near 40mph. Can we get a good front with some rain??????

perhaps Tuesday could yield a pre frontal squall line. stay tuned.

I do hope so. It is 32 days and counting without a drop of rain. Amazing after a summer so wet - incredibly wet - that the desert returns.

For once, we might actually escape drought conditions due to the expected -NAO in the North Atlantic that could mean more frontal passages / precipitation over South Florida. However, I have noticed that the recent cold events over the past several years have tended to be overplayed by the NWS and that our temperatures usually trend several degrees above the forecasted lows. I think that by late February conditions should warm up very quickly.

Waking up this morning to a current temperature reading of 37.7 degrees as of 5:15 a.m. This is the coldest morning of the autumn season thus far here at my location. Temps look to drop a degree or two more by sunrise. Ideal radiational cooling conditions this morning with 1024 mb High Pressure dome sitting right over region. There is even a light glazing of frost on the car roof top this morning.

Beautiful weekend weather shaping up as highs today will top around 70 degrees and then warm into the mid to upper 70s for highs by Sunday. No rain in sight until at least the middle of next week.

Nice weather shaping up from this weekend into next week, with the NAO briefly going positive along with a continuing negative PNA, FL's weather will turn to what is more typical for this time of the year with the next cold snap staying to the north of the FL Peninsula.
Time to thaw out and enjoy the comfortable warm temperatures that tourists love to have when visiting our state

Have a great Veteran's Day!

Rained last Wed with the front, 4/10-5/10" is better than nothing. CHILLY low of 44F Fri morning was brisk! Barely made it to 70F both Thur and Fri but Sat was almost 80F under sunny skies. These short days I hate.

Anyway, the forecast for the week ahead is wonderful, with lower 80's expected early on. I do not like how these early season storms have formed off the east coast. They bring in way too much cold air. A winter like the last one would be nice, but that is asking a lot.

[gsytch]

This is becoming a DROUGHT! Only one rain since Oct 2, just shy of half-inch about 11 days ago. Oct saw less than an inch with the rains on the first and second, and Nov only that rain mentioned above with the long range fort the week at zero chance of rain. Yards are getting very brown around us. Chilly weather, too. Not a nice November. I hope this is not a precursor of winter to come.

[NDG]

Looks like the below average temps will continue for the FL Peninsula for the next 7-10 days, nothing record breaking but with a persistent -NAO, progressions of cold fronts through the Peninsula will continue, luckly there is not much if any snow cover across the Great Lakeas and eastern US, so the airmass will modify to some degree as it gets to FL but with good radiational cooling happening at night some light freezing and or frosty conditions could happen at least across the northern FL, IMO.
Mostly dry conditions will continue.

[NDG]

Had any frost advisories gone up for this morning across the usual cold spots from the bid bend down to Ocala and Brooksville for this morning, it looks kind of frosty.

One more weekend of cool daytime highs and chilly morning lows before things get back to average for this time of the year.

Kind of odd...not even a strong northeasterly flow or really much wind but high tide yesterday made into onto A1A in Fort Lauderdale north of Sunrise Blvd yesterday and again today. Even washed away a bit of the wave barrier (not quite tall enough to call a sea wall - more of a bench!) Rip Current Warning and Coastal Flood Statement issued by NWS Miami but this is kind of odd given the conditions don't seem so extreme.

From Sun-Sentinel:

A section of A1A north of Sunrise Boulevard is in danger of washing out to sea less than a month after many South Florida beaches were ravaged by high tides and pounding waves due to Hurricane Sandy's northward path.

Fort Lauderdale officials closed northbound A1A at around 4 p.m. on Thursday after pounding surf took out palm trees, the seawall and the sidewalk on a section of road north of Northeast 16th Court, just north of Sunrise Boulevard.

"Our concern is the traffic signal," said Fort Lauderdale spokesman Matt Little. "The piling is exposed. I don't know how deep it goes, but we've already lost palm trees, the seawall and the sidewalk."

Earlier today recorded a morning low of 34.4 degrees, the coldest morning of the autumn season at my location. There was scattered frost as well.

Tonight, not as cold as we have a slight warm advective flow and clouds ahead of the cold front which will come through the Northeast Florida region tomorrow morning. No rain unfortunately with this frontal passage. Cold air advection will commence again tomorrow as brisk northwest winds will hold max temps here in the lower 60s.

Sunday morning looks to be the best chance of seeing the first freeze of the season at my location and many areas across inland North Florida. Lows are expected to be in the lower 30s in these locations, except areas right along the St. Johns River basin and along the coast, where temps will bottom out in the mid-upper 30s.

First Freeze of the Season is Just One Day Away! http://wp.me/p1xnuB-b2

Brrr It was a chilly 39.9F at 630am up to 43F by 730am. COLDEST of the season, yet Tampa was a toasty 50F. Imagine that? And I am about a mile off the GOM. I checked Pinellas Park and they were 41.9F. Boy I ned to move to the tropics of Tampa! They blew St Pete out.

Anyway, a slow warmup this week will be welcomed, but since I was off last week, it does me no good. Now it is a month until Xmas break but I did get a lot done in the yard.
