ocala Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Damn, dry air moves in and shuts off the tap for the whole week plus temps to be mid to upper 90's. Not to mention we lose out on any effects from TD2. I'll tell ya, it just aint fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flwxwatcher45 Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 yep, fish! Sigh. so close but yet so far.. Since it looks like TD 2 won't visit , I will start the hype on a possible next system A strong wave has just emerged off Africa and it looks like it's this wave the EURO brings into the SE Gulf and devlopes in the 9-10 range.

Things just got wild in my neck of the woods too, big storm moved right out of the Everglades. It appears sea breezes, outflow boundaries, and the outermost bands of TD 2 are combining to whallop SE FL right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtlehurricane Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Looks like we get an upgrade on 98L at 5 PM.. I have a sinking feeling though 98L is going to get pulled away from Florida after 24 hours or so.. Turtle, what's your thoughts on track?? Think it can hang around and get steered by the Plains High and get sent back towards Florida?? I'm gonna wait for the 00z model suite to decide, that'll be the first one with reconnaissance data in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incredible amounts of lightning from this storm. Lots of Spider Lightning continuing even though the rain has calmed down. This is the first time since I moved to Florida that a storm put on a lightning display comparable with a good Midwestern MCS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wi_fl_wx Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Spider Lightning FTW First we had several toad stranglers and then spider lightning all over the place. I could go for one of the nicer dog days of summer, when the only clouds in the sky are a few mare's tails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akeem the African Dream Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Bret providing some relatively cool weather to the region today. High's maxing out at 90 but get ready for tonight. Some areas in Central Florida could get to below 70 tonight. Don't think we will see any record lows but it will be a nice treat nonetheless. Orlando has not had a low below 70 since June 12.

Ah, good ole north winds. It's funny how we can only get those from a TC this time of year. Bret is also bringing some rain to the West Palm Beach area, nice outer band sitting over the coast there, likely being enhanced by coastal convergence.

I can tell the difference just by stepping out this morning. Looks like Brett will provide us some drier days this week in Central Florida.. Go away Bret.

flwxwatcher45 Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 This is just so wrong for this time of year. That really is a depressing WV sat pic.. The perils of a TC missing the state to the east, it helps drag in drier air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wi_fl_wx Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Pretty good storms rolling through Broward and Dade, the one over me is at toad strangler level. Went from dry to a deluge in less than 20 seconds. It was funny to hear the screams of people outside who apparently do not obsessively follow the radar images in the summer.

Go away Bret. Yea I don't get how people didn't know a hurricane/TS was nearby before there was radar. It is so obvious, IMO. There are so many signs.

flwxwatcher45 Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 Since the weather looks to be rather boring the next few days , I will do some hyping. The EURO is still hinting that the strong TW near 35W might become a player in the long range. Keeping my fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing North of PR is a tropical wave interacting with an Upper Low. Interesting to see what it looks like once it gets past the ULL. As for the 65 Degree morning low, I have had enough of this cold snap for now. http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/goes/east/tatl/loop-wv.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
