dolebot_broward_nw Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 It was in the paper this morning, hail swath started at the county line of Broward and Dade, maximized around me and Davie, and puttered out in northern Weston/Sunrise. Another vigorous day of storms appears to be on tap. Wow... Just wow. Nice video and I hope nobody had anything bad happen to them out there. I've only seen pea size hail once in a crazy spring storm here. Todays AFD mentions the smoke from the fires as a contributor to the severity of the storm (saying that it provided a condensation nuclei). So you folks have some ATV riders out on Tamiami Trail to blame for that screen and anything else that might have happened :x. As for up by me it was a nice steady not-too-crazy rain that lasted more or less an hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akeem the African Dream Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 We got absolutely pounded by that severe storm, lost power for 5 hours so couldn't post until now. Right after the outflow boundary passed and I made my last post, we got a downburst that resulted in wind gusts over 60+ mph. And then it began to hail like crazy, up to golf ball sized, with periods of wind driven hail. Shredded the trees, awnings, screens, and messed up my car. Thank goodness for insurance. The hail gets more intense as this video progresses: A quick video of the screen getting shredded: That is some extreme hail for a summer Florida Tstorm.

flwxwatcher45 Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 There's a nearly stationary area of very heavy rain over the Kissimmee river basin and northern Lake Okeechobee. Just what we needed to start raising lake levels! Yes, looks like that T-storm complex dumped 3-5 inches of much needed rain on that area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flwxwatcher45 Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Doesn't sound like the lakeland area will be joining the fun the gang in South Florida had yesterday, in regards to some big storms today. Mid morning Tampa AFD. UPDATE...SUBTLE CHANGES IN THE ATMOSPHERE HAVE TAKEN PLACE SINCE THIS TIME YESTERDAY. PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES ARE ABOUT THE SAME...NEAR AN INCH AND A HALF...BUT THE TEMPERATURE PROFILE OF THE ATMOSPHERE HAS WARMED 2 TO 3 DEGREES CELSIUS...ESPECIALLY BETWEEN 700 AND 300 MBS. RELATIVE HUMIDITIES ARE ALSO LOWER IN TH MID-LEVELS...WHICH SHOULD LEAD TO DRY AIR ENTRAINMENT AS STORMS TRY TO BUILD TODAY. OVERALL THIS SHOULD LEAD TO LESS DEVELOPMENT NEAR THE COAST THAN WHAT WE SAW YESTERDAY AND LESS COVERAGE EVEN OVER THE INTERIOR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toad strangler Posted June 13, 2011 Author Share Posted June 13, 2011 Yesterdays storms sputtered out before reaching me. I got a 5 minute light drizzle that did not wet the ground at all. Today there is a little more hope for me. Melbourne ... NOW...THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON...WITH WESTERLY FLOW THE EAST COAST SEA BREEZE BOUNDARY MAY ONLY DEVELOP FROM ROUGHLY COCOA-MELBOURNE SOUTHWARD. IF IT DOES...IT WILL BE DELAYED AND MAY NOT MOVE TOO FAR INLAND IF AT ALL. THE WEST COAST SEA BREEZE BOUNDARY WILL BE MORE ACTIVE AND MOVE ACROSS THE PENINSULA TODAY. LATER IN THE AFTERNOON ISOLATED TO WIDELY SCATTERED LIGHTNING STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE ALONG IT. SUBSEQUENT BOUNDARY INTERACTIONS FROM STORM OUTFLOWS MAY IGNITE ADDITIONAL STORMS LATE IN THE DAY AND EARLY EVENING. STORM MOVEMENT WILL BE TOWARD THE EAST-SOUTHEAST AT AROUND 10 MPH OR LESS. A FEW STORMS MAY BE STRONG AND CAPABLE OF FREQUENT CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING...STRONG DOWNBURST WINDS BETWEEN 40 AND 50 MPH...SMALL HAIL AND LOCALIZED HEAVY RAINFALL. STORMS MAY AFFECT INLAND LAKES BY MID TO LATE AFTERNOON...AND POTENTIALLY THE INTRACOASTAL AND NEAR SHORE WATERS OF THE WESTERN ATLANTIC BY LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING AS THEY PUSH BACK TOWARD THE EAST COAST. BOATERS WILL NEED TO KEEP AN EYE TO THE SKY LATE IN THE DAY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ocala Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Jville says we're supposed to get rain but I been hearing that for a few days. Not going to get my hopes up. If it happens , great, if not there's always tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like some action firing up in Dade county also. Pretty quiet across Central Florida so far today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turtlehurricane Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Big storm sliding just to our south, sending a few sprinkles this way and alot of outflow wind. Gusts up to 30 mph for the past hour. More storms approaching from the west, associated with the west coast sea-breeze. Things are gonna get messy over the metro areas as the west and east coast sea-breezes collide, as well as outflow boundaries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I have brought the Cub curse to the rainy season in my part of Central Florida. Don't fret my friend. Yesterday PSL had a few drops and today just enough from the action to wet the ground and off it went. Baby steps ... we are getting there! The areas south of me have had beneficial action the past two days so that is a good thing.

flwxwatcher45 Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Tampa AFD sounds more promising today for some stronger storms for me the next few days and rain chances overall sound promising through the week-end. MODELS ARE TRYING TO HINT A DECENT PUSH FROM THE EAST COAST SEA BREEZE TOMORROW AND FRIDAY...SO MAY SEE SOME STRONGER STORMS WITH THE SEA BREEZE COLLISION. RAIN CHANCES WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE EXTENDED AND INCREASE BY THIS WEEKEND AS PWATS RISE TO NEAR 2 INCHES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ocala Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 A little help from some of the mets. This is from this AM's Jville discussion. What does the highlighted part of this mean. Update... updated the forecast graphics and zone forecast to add a chance of isolated thunderstorms over areas near U.S. Highway 301 and portions of the Suwannee Valley. Am not convinced that the cap will be strong enough to suppress all convection associated with the Gulf of Mexico sea breeze front and lift from near 100 degree surface temperatures in the interior. Morning kjax sounding just came in with a decent low level cap but a cape near 3200 j/kg so expect that whatever is able to blow through the cap will be vigorous with strong to pulse severe cells possible. Again think these will be very isolated but possible. Also with lots of smoke in the air collision-coalescence will be inhibited and less efficient in the lower layers of the atmosphere so expect more high based convection with potential arching of ground to ground strikes.

toad strangler Posted June 14, 2011 Author Share Posted June 14, 2011 Yup, and now it's dented to all hell :/ That really blows. I hope it works out. Heavy price to pay to see something pretty uncommon. We should have switched vehicles for the day. I wouldn't have noticed a difference if mine went through that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
