Aside from the tornados in central Florida, Nestor is proving to be a largely beneficial storm for the southeast.

Mostly for Orlando & south. I drained an inch and a half out of the pool and probably got maybe .3 inches back. I won't have to water the lawn at least. Been a strange fall so far in NE FL the air has been super stable ever since Dorian went by to the east of us.

Think we got 5 or so inches of rain in pinellas. My pool was overflowing

Nice cool air coming after Nestor's cold front comes through central FL
Might as well go to a water park tomorrow since the beaches are still going to be rough.

The band with stronger winds mentioned by in the NHC discussion over Apalachee Bay is moving onshore now. Winds here in south Tallahassee are in the 20-25 mph range with higher gusts. Nothing too crazy.

Aside from the Miami area, NE Florida doesn’t seem to be getting much rain off of Nestor. Ya’ll are in that dry slot behind the front now and might only get a passing shower after this.

Not enough rain but better than nothing.

5" of needed rainfall at my north Pinellas location in the Countryside area. This much needed rain was rapidly and joyfully accepted by dry ground. Nature loves to balance things out. what should have fallen in September but didn't....instead chose to fall in October when it shouldn't. As expected, this system (with the exception of those that got a raw deal from svr wx) is a net benefit providing needed rainfall.

And...for those that like to stack credibility chips for future reference....Add another blue chip to the tall stack that is wxman 57 and climo. Thanks for keeping us grounded as usual.

Pinellas County area beaches are rough right now, winds gusting to TS force.

What’s left of the center is heading straight for us in Tallahassee!

[ScottNAtlanta]

We've had good steady rain all day. It's a little heavier now and a bit breezy, but this is the kind of rain we need here in N GA.

current Tampa Bay area winds, with some TS-force gusts:

PIE (St Pete-Clearwater) S31G43
Tampa Int'l S21G36

[tropicwatch]

Now that the center is east of the Panama City area we are getting are strongest winds out of the west and northwest close to ts strength gusts. Port St. Joe has seen 45mph wind gusts.

[NDG]

So officially the Polk County tornado was an EF-2, that lasted 30 minutes and traveled 9 miles.

Nestor was no wimp of a tropical storm.
