Stick a fork in it, this high pressure has to go away soon because its so dry and the weather is too hot and boring. I like variety. I need to get the Seminole Indians to do a real rain dance. :lol:

Our earlier discussion said maybe some rain by mid next week for portions of Florida. I really hope so. Some portions north and east of me got some over the last few days NONE here!! :wink:

They said nothing about rainfall down here,but I usually read all the state disscussions anyway. I just hope Tampa (Ruskin) is right.

Getting worse in Lower South Carolina ... even after some convective debris from last night's MCS further upstream, that's cleared out and already we're spiking 94º ... well on our way to the upper 90's, MAYBE close to 100º ... :eek: (all of 2003, the highest temp in CHS was 95º).

boring

#8 Postby Patrick99 » Wed May 26, 2004 1:40 pm

I agree, this weather is supremely boring. We can't even get any small lines of cumulus going.

I was hoping for some sea breeze collision today, but I guess the air is too dry to take advantage.

I have a question - you often hear about severe thunderstorms forming in dry slots.....what would it take for a thunderstorm to build up in S. FL, under the current conditions? What would it take to bust through the cap? Higher temperatures? Or is it simply a question of available moisture? And if that's the case, then why is it that thunderstorms are sometimes able to form over the desert Southwest? I've been out there before, and it really can go from bone-dry early to storming later.

Its not as hot up here in Fort Walton ( 85 degrees ) but its really really dry. Eglin is on alert for brush fires and people in the city arent allowed to use their water at certain times. ts also pretty humid with Rel. Humidity at 52%. Its breezy here though, winds 20mph. But it dosnt help much. Dew points up in the high 60s. Not a cloud in the sky either! ( Curses dry weather )

You need moisture..instability and lift. None of which is available :(
