turtlehurricane Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 4000 J/kg of CAPE across most of inland South Florida, that's more or less extreme. It means any storm that initiates is gonna go nuts until all that energy is used up, and they're gonna be spreading like a fire in gasoline. Radar indicates all of that is well underway. A few storms in Dade are making some hail, but nothing extreme yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flwxwatcher45 Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Man you're killing me up here. Well, at least some of us are getting pounded today. I ended up missing the fun today myself. Lots of Thunder and some light rain. I talked to some friends who work at the mall about 5 miles south of me and they said they had heavy rain and hail this afternoon.

I talked to some friends who work at the mall about 5 miles south of me and they said they had heavy rain and hail this afternoon. Holy **** did I get nailed this afternoon. It was like watching turtlehurricanes video all over again. It hailed for 25 minutes straight! Un freakin believable. Mostly pea and dime size with the occasional nickel size. Best part is I video taped the whole thing, but I have to get up in a little while for work so I'll try to upload something tomorrow. Luckily my new truck wasn't damaged. That's a relief but a lot of the trees around are partially defoliated. The ground is covered with green leaves. Mother nature never fails to amaze.

flwxwatcher45 Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 I just missed the century mark here in Lakeland yesterday but we did set a record high at 99. Some good storms last night added about an inch of much needed rain into the rain gauge, looks like more on tap today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some good storms last night added about an inch of much needed rain into the rain gauge, looks like more on tap today. I had some really vivid lightening and heavy rain for a half hour yesterday so my wife says. I missed all the fun as I was in Miami and did not get back until 10PM. Well after everything died off. Grass is starting to show a bit of green again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ocala Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Not real tech savy here so I couldn't figure how to upload the hail video. Only thing I can offer is a pic of a banana tree we planted. The before pic is a very healthy plant. After the hail it looks like someone took a knife to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like we are taking a break from the storms today, the radar is void of any storms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much of anything. The worst is behind us I am sure. Now its all about making some headway on rainfall deficits. Ocala, that had to be some heavy hail for a spell to shread it up like that! I would think smallish hail would just fall through flexible vegetation without dicing it up much. I guess not! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtlehurricane Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 No rain today at all, so it was a scorcher. I bet we undid a bunch of the rain of previous days just from all the evaporation today, the sun is absolutely murderous on clear days in the summer here. We really need wet season to kick into gear for good, and the forecast looks poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flwxwatcher45 Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 I ended up getting some rain late last right about .25, I wa surprised. It sounds like the prospects for rain increase around here for the week-end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akeem the African Dream Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 That is a very well defined ECSB boundry this afternoon. They do not get any better than this. Look out Orlando and points East for some big storms. Activity is really going to start increasing as we approach 6pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ocala Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Drying out again here for a while. Man the radar has looked so good the past few days. Jville has things improving starting Thursday. Gotta love those PWATS over 2 inches. Long term...Thursday through Sunday... on Thursday the ridge is pushed south as an upper trough amplifies over the eastern U.S. A deep and moist SW flow should bring decent chances of much needed rain Thursday through Saturday. GFS model continues to show abundant moisture with precipitable waters exceeding 2 inches during the period. Maximum temperatures will drop a notch into low/middle 90s.

It does sound like we will dry out a bit the next few days but this afternoons Tampa AFD leaves some hope it won't be as dry as the GFS advertises. Like you said it does sound like things start to pick up again later this week. BASED ON THE GFS...PUSH SOME DRIER AIR IN OVER THE AREA LIMITING RAIN CHANCES. OTHER MODELS DON`T QUITE AGREE ON THE EXTENT OF THE DRY AIR THOUGH AND STILL KEEP SOME POPS IN THE FORECAST MONDAY AND TUESDAY. BASED ON THE PW FORECAST (FROM ALL MODELS) HAVE DECIDED TO AT LEAST MENTION SOME ISOLATED SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS ALONG THE SEABREEZE EACH AFTERNOON RATHER THAN A COMPLETELY DRY FORECAST Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtlehurricane Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Broward county is getting pounded today. Non-stop tropical downpour here for awhile now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtlehurricane Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Severe storm is developing in the far NW suburbs of Miami-Dade at the intersection of 2 outflow boundaries. 70+ dBZ aloft, so it's gonna be dumping some big hail. Rain slowing down here, but more coming in from the west, all stuff that was initiated by the outflow boundary from the current storms over Broward.

I have some nice storms popping just to the west of me in St. Lucie county BUT sitting there and floating west if anything. Not looking good for 95 / Turnpike area here.

icebreaker5221 Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Broward county is getting pounded today. Non-stop tropical downpour here for awhile now. Getting pounded here in Miami now. I haven't seen any hail, but I wouldn't be surprised to see a few reports come in. I HAVE seen some pretty intense winds tho, with some small branches / leafs / general debris flying all over the place. That cell's in no rush to leave, and those cells in NW Dade / SW Broward seem to be headed in our general direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you said it does sound like things start to pick up again later this week. Melbourne says so too .... THU-SUN...UPPER LEVEL TROUGH MOVING ACROSS THE MS RIVER VALLEY GRADUALLY BREAKS DOWN THE DEEP LAYER RIDGE OVER FLORIDA FROM LATE WEEK ONWARD. LOW LVL RIDGE WILL DRIFT BACK OVER LAKE OKEE THROUGH SAT BEFORE STARTING TO DRIFT BACK NWD BY SUN. INCREASE IN MEAN PWATS (~2.0" GIVE OR TAKE A TENTH) FROM FRI ONWARD WARRANTS POPS AT LEAST AS HIGH AS THE CURRENT GRIDS (40) AND COULD WIND UP A LTL HIGHER PER CURRENT MEX (50) GUIDANCE. DUE TO INCREASE IN CLOUD COVER/PRECIP EXPECT TEMPS TO RUN MUCH CLOSER TO NORMAL THAN THEY HAVE OVER THE PAST FEW WEEKS - U80S-90F ALONG THE COAST AND L90S INLAND.
