This might sound like a dumb question, but.....
We are due west of Lake Okeechobee, but not all the way to the coast. We have had some crazy weather all afternoon, and it keeps getting crazier. Almost like squalls...no rain, then rain - hard rain, and thunder and lightning. Then it dries up....you get it.
Can this be - I don't know if its' called "feeder bands" since this isn't really a storm yet - but is it possible, this crazy weather is possibly related to the storm that doesn't wanna be? I mean, I deliberately included the above clip, cause it seems to show the "bands" of weather I am referring to....going across the center of FL, at the very top of the pic.
What do you all think?
Theres some strong easterly flow (winds from the east at low levels) in an unstable environment that are helping develop the storms across Florida for the next few days. It's not directly related to the tropical wave, but the wave is helping create the environment to support storms. Or maybe the environment is helping the wave. Chicken or the egg.
