turtlehurricane Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 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 Haha, I'm thinking of leaving it dented so I can storm chase with it care free Huge new fire in Collier county being detected by the Miami WSR-88D, blowing smoke towards the metro areas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flwxwatcher45 Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Yup, and now it's dented to all hell :/ Man, that really stinks!!. My car is like softparades car, so I have no problem chasing any storms with hail in them. I hope things work out though with the insurance .

turtlehurricane Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Uh oh, now there's 2 large fires in Collier county, both blowing smoke towards the metro areas. Likely from all the lightning yesterday. Also the sea-breeze front is looking good today, probably about to fire up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toad strangler Posted June 14, 2011 Author Share Posted June 14, 2011 Softparade, looks like the Treasure Coast is going to get theirs today. Good luck. I am holding my breath! It looks like the intercoastal waters have the best chance? The East Coast sea breeze has been shunted off shore a bit and will enhance all of this energy moving through.

That's kind of the opposite of whooping butt, the synoptic winds have simply overwhelmed it, so only the east coast sea-breeze is going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, there are sporadic 2 minute showers coming in and are blowing up east of me over the intercoastal. I mean blowing up because the thunder is constantly coming from my east as the start up showers barely wet MBY. Thanks for the clarification ..... I don't understand the whole sea breeze thing really. I am a damn Yankee newbie transplant! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flwxwatcher45 Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Looks like the east side of the state got the bounty of storms today. I see a couple of wind reports out of Brevard County of 70+ mph winds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see a couple of wind reports out of Brevard County of 70+ mph winds. It was really interesting to watch what was forecasted actually happen. The East Coast sea breeze camping just off the coast and firing up what was tossed over by the West Coast sea breeze combined with what was left of the weak low level trough sagging in from North Florida. For me about 5 miles inland it turned into the first puddle I have seen in what seems like a month and a half! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtlehurricane Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 I'm hoping for the stuff in Palm Beach to hold together as it moves south. Plenty of CAPE to work with, and it's sending out outflow that will overrun the sea-breeze front, whatever is left of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turtlehurricane Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Sounds like a repeat of what happened to my area. A vigorous outflow boundary has pushed out from that storm across most of Broward, indicative of strong downdrafts emanating from a hail core. It went from a still evening to a gusty one here, and the temp has plummeted into the 70s. Still might manage to get a shower a little later, but maybe not.

bic Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Sounds like tropical conditions have arrived All this talk of severe weather throughout the state and I think it has only rained lightly here in South Beach maybe 2-3 times in the last month. From my balcony I watch all of these storms over the mainland and get as close as 5-10 miles away but it seems like the Beach always gets spared. I'd like to compare the difference in rainfall totals between South Beach and KMIA-- it has to be significant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALTHOUGH MID TO UPPER LEVELS ARE SLIGHTLY DRIER THAN YESTERDAY THERE IS ABUNDANT MOISTURE FOR THE GENERATION OF CONVECTION THROUGH SEA BREEZE COLLISION. THERE IS ALSO THE POTENTIAL THAT ONE OR TWO STORMS COULD PRODUCE HAIL AND WIND GUSTS IN EXCESS OF 50 MILES PER HOUR. THE OVERALL FORECAST REASONING REMAINS UNCHANGED SINCE EARLIER THIS MORNING. NO CHANGES HAVE BEEN PERFORMED TO THE FORECAST AT THIS TIME. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akeem the African Dream Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Someone could hit 100 today in Central Florida.

turtlehurricane Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Got some estimates today for the car, 400-500 dents! Nowhere near totaled though thankfully. Right now I'm considering whether to even fix it since this sh*t could easily happen in the Midwest once I go back. And I won't have to worry about drunk college kids keying it if it looks a little ragged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The outflow was so strong it blew all the patio furniture around and rattled/bowed the sliding glass door. Note to self - GTFO of that apt in hurricane conditions. No way I'm staying there. No rain, but incredibly strong winds for about 15 minutes at 8:45p. Typical Florida damage everywhere LOL (palm fronds that is).

I was on the way to 100 but now some nasty storms advancing through polk county are to my east and north and has cooled things down.. It looks like I will get some action today.

wi_fl_wx Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 A severe t-storm watch, what a nice surprise. I saw some pea-sized hail from that storm over Miami-Dade yesterday. One interesting fact is that Miami International Airport has received more than 5 inches of rain this week. Fort-Lauderdale/Hollywood has only seen 4 inches for all of 2011! Today it looks like I lost the seabreeze lottery but maybe something will blow over later this evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OHSnow Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 New all-time record high of 105 set today in Tallahassee, per the AFD there. The previous record was 104, last set on June 20, 1933, during the heart of the dust bowl. This also smashed the previous daily record of 99, last set last year on this date.
