ocala Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 I can not locate where the record low max and record high minimums are located. The reports only list the record high and low. We got some sunshine late in the day yesterday which bumped our temps up and we avoided the record low max. Something tells me the records you are looking for are probably linked to that page. If you put either item in the "Search For" box it may find them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ocala Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Yesterdays precipitation map looked just the same. That dome of high pressure over the house is holding strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ocala Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Great stuff Charley was the cream of the 04/05 super bounty on top of Frances, Jeanne, and Wilma. This was taken on the north shore of Lake Toho in Kissimmee a couple weeks after Charley. I have never seen a pine tree bend like this with out breaking. Pine trees always break. That just tells me it was a strong steady wind that kept getting stronger until the tree just bent over. By the way the tree was appx 36 inches around.

flweathernerd Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Got nailed by a nice thunderstorm tonight. Closed the whole airport down for at least an hour. The sky had a green hue to it before the lightning got too close and we all had to go inside. There was intense lightning all around and very gusty winds.

ocala Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Was a very stormy night tonight. Constant rain/thunder/lightning for 4 hours. Looking at the precip totals from Melbourne radar, (estimate) Palm Beach and northern Broward got slammed! Nothing better then night time boomers.

ocala Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Invest 93 came back to life. Looks like it may be a western gulf of BOC storm. A direct hit on Texas as a minimal storm would do wonders for that horrible drought over there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bic Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Statement as of 1:00 PM EDT on August 15, 2011... Record number of consecutive 90-degrees-plus days in Miami... Over the weekend, a new record for consecutive number of 90-degree or higher days was established in Miami. As of today (august 15th), the streak of 90-degree-plus days has hit 37 at Miami International Airport. This breaks the old record of 34 consecutive days from August 5 to September 7, 1952. The current record-breaking streak began on July 10th. Although the number of consecutive 90-degree days is significant due its length, the fact that Summer temperatures reach 90 degrees in Miami without significant breaks is far from unusual. The average high temperature in Miami in July and August is 91 degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dolebot_broward_nw Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Weird night drizzly rain. Unusual in my experience. All week has been that way. Storms build up in the everglades and lose steam by the time they drift over us and just slowly drip rain on us. Not that I mind this widespread slow soak.

icebreaker5221 Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Nice record. It is amazing how often 90 plus happens in our BY yet 100 plus days are almost non existent. Yup. It's amazing what being surrounded by water can do to prevent triple digits. Not to mention high soil moisture and evapotranspiration. We need all the karma we can get. Anyone want to start a new Florida Tropical Season thread? Are you sure it's necessary when we have a tropical thread and a separate thread for all invests/storms on the main page, plus this thread here for IMBYism?

Some of the intensity models have it at or near hurricane strength in 4 days. It needs a lot of organization to get that strong that quick..
