ONE BUSY GOM....

[dixiebreeze]

We are getting pounded with storms right now and it's supposed to get worse overnight. Also looks like the convection is training NE from the YP. Might wet week even if nothing else develops.

It has rained since last night here... went until about 5 or 6pm before we had a break. More to come, it is just coming up from the south in waves.

[dixiebreeze]

It sure is Brent. Look at this:

Nothing is developing....it is just a Florida stagnant low. We see them all the time.

[dhweather]

We're at 7" in three days from this system.

The rest of May = .02

I agree... it just feels unusual. We had been so dry for the month really until last night(I remarked on Saturday about being around 3 inches behind)(had a little rain Sunday/Monday, but not as much as other areas).

I can't even remember the last "all-day" rain here. It's been THAT long.

My dogs were barking crazily . look out window ,then went out side and to my north west it looks like a war is going on . So many lighting stikes it is continueous, still far away no thunder but someone is getting pounded

I'm almost 90 miles away under fair skies and can see the entire storm over Citrus county (to the north) from my front porch. The lightning is incredible. It's easier to count the pauses than the flashes.

Yea right now there are stars over my house.. But lighting show is getting better I now can see citrus county storms A nd now when I look due west I can see the gulf storms exploding with lighting. The only thing is the gulf storms are heading my way.

[AL Chili Pepper]

You can see that ULL rotating off the LA coast on the NO and Mobile radars. I'll take all the rain I can get out of this. My grass was turning brown.

[dixiebreeze]

Take care all. Reports indicate that tornados are possible after midnight, along with very heavy storms, lightening, etc. No doubt there will be flood watches/warnings soon.

Yes I need rain also. I probably mowed the yard 8 times in April . Only once in May.

There were a couple of tornado reports in South Alabama earlier this evening... I haven't had any thunder all day though. Not even any distant stuff.

[mobilebay]

We are sure getting a thunderstorm now. That thunder is really rocking.

[StormChasr]

Tornado watch for all of Central Florida until 6 A.M. We've had 4.9 inches of rain in the past two days here, and severe boomers. Looks like an entire week of T-storms.

[gatorcane]

hey stormchasr I noticed you changed your location to Ormond Beach?

[scogor]

Just starting to hear thunder in the distance. Should be rocking and rolling here in Sarasota round midnight!
