First rains from 03L (outflow boundary) have reached the Florida coast. A special marine warning has been issued for this outflow boundary.

I thought we were using the Florida Weather Thread for such reports. That thread is the official Florida Thread anyway. I had already started posting NWS AFDs from around the state on that thread and other products

NWS Tampa is now calling for wind gusts up to 50mph in parts of Pinellas along the coast tomorrow with "tropical storm conditions possible"

[psyclone]

the marine forecast is also calling for gusts to 50kt. the lake of Mexico will be anything but come tomorrow.

Bay News Channel 9 in Tampa received a report of 41 mph wind gust in Lakeland from a rainband which moved through there within the past half hour. The added daytime heating is definitely contributing to agitate the atmosphere and further create more instability to cause severe weather. This will be a big problem the next 36 hours over the peninsula.

Looks like we have a new band off of Ft. Myers heading north. Let' see if it holds together as it approaches the Tampa Bay area or just offshore.

[dixiebreeze]

Steady light to medium rain in Citrus County area now. Not much wind. Folks are making preparations for possible flooding near the coast and in Crystal River. Sure need the rain -- but not 5 to 10 inches!

[gatorcane]

Special marine warning issued for squalls approaching Tampa Bay Area and offshore waters of Southern Pinellas

[ftolmsteen]

Will post some obs tomorrow once I get any high rain totals or high gusts. Pressure dropping here in west Pasco County.

DP is 79 in FLL...it feels like a sauna outside.

[northjaxpro]

The first rainband moving in from the south now about to pivot here across the Jacksonville metro area and Northeast Florida region.

[ftolmsteen]

Pressure actually has risen back up to 29.88 the past hour from 29.85 .

pretty intense bands getting ready to roll ashore Southern Pinellas
