You are right considering Mark Margavage's degree curriculum only includes up to calculus 1 and just synoptic meteorology, a far cry from the standard education requirements one must achieve to call themselves a meteorologist: https://catalog.wilkes.edu//preview_program.php?catoid=13&poid=1760 https://wilkes.meritpages.com/stories/Wilkes-University-Awards-Degree-to-Mark-Margavage-of-Edwardsville-Pa-18704-/7693061 a standard meteorology path should include up to partial differential equations and a whole slew of thermodynamics and dynamics classes. 99% sure he never took any of those classes.

Easily some of the best footage I've seen of hurricane eye penetration. https://fixupx.com/FlynonymousWX/status/1982915178221191411 -

dews dropped from being 78-80 for the past 3 days to an astounding 74 this evening. KAMX radar shows a band of storms over the everglades near I-75 west. Clouds were moving fast today.

exciting game but also disappointing that we lost

And so it did. For a couple of hours in the early afternoon, weak flow aloft created mostly stationary thunderstorms over the southern FL peninsula. The image as follows is a few hours later, around sunset. Eventually, storms grew over downtown FLL just east of here (opposite direction of pic below) and delivered around 1.5-2" of rain with great lightning.

87/81. Yesterday featured very intense rainfall and loud thunder in the early-mid afternoon hours, then after sunset, great lightning show. Today looks to repeat that here in S FL. A vacation marked by extreme humidity and heat indexes over 100. typically lasts from mid-late may thru early october, such is life in the only tropical rainforest climate zone in the mainland USA.
