icebreaker5221 Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Yeah next week they were talking about a CF possibly coming through. Kind of sad really. Beginning of the end of the rainy season. Hopefully the tropics will keep it intersting. Agreed, I hate to see the end of thunderstorm season. Last Oct was awesome with rainy season lasting thru the end of the month! (but boring tropics-wise). Only thing to look forward to in winter are the fluke frosts and freezes or the occasional squall line as a miller A passes to the north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ocala Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 A cool 65 degreees this AM. Left the windows open last night. It is turning into a dry month though. Through the 12th and less then a half inch. September, October can be really dry up here without any tropical activity. Seems like everything that forms out there is a fish so I guess we have to wait for something to spin up on the tail end of one these fronts.

icebreaker5221 Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Tons of lightning tonight in Miami, to the northeast, west, and southwest. Front should begin to stall as it makes its way through, potentially keeping it active most of the night! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ground Scouring Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 We really need a strong warm ENSO event coupled with a + PDO in order to get a repeat of the November 1894-February 1895 freezes on the peninsula. Sadly, otherwise the urban heat island and the recent PDO over the past decade have favored warmer surface temperatures and a stronger low-level ridge--meaning much drier and warmer winters down here in SE FL. I think the weakly warm, west-based ENSO and + PDO this year will be a slight improvement over the past five years, but the + NAO will not be much of an asset.

Ground Scouring Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 Tree damage from yesterday severewx over South Florida... You probably just tore it down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icebreaker5221 Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Up to 81.12" of rain at MIA year-to-date. That's 30.58" above normal! (average is a pathetic 50.54" ). That's especially impressive considering we started the year with a La Nina winter, which are historically drier than normal, plus the fact that we were only side-swiped (not even direct hit) by one tropical storm and no hurricanes. Just an extraordinary year for stationary fronts and very productive sea-breeze thunderstorms down here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icebreaker5221 Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Wow, this thread is dead! Lets see if this 3-month (DJF) temperature outlook from CPC verifies. DJF has been below average 6 of the last 10 years in FL, thanks to a combination of several very -NAO winters and a few neutral/positive NAO winters that happened to be wet / cloudy enough to compensate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ground Scouring Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 The consensus is that 99L will miss South FL, but I have my doubts. Anyway, this region is vulnerable to the loss of valuable water during the dry season, thanks to releases of water from Lake Okeechobee by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. I would wholly welcome a tropical cyclone to reduce the potential deficit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I hear about is people complaining about too much rain but every drop I see makes me feel better about the dry season. I want to get hit by this thing anyways!

icebreaker5221 Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 A brush by Sandy is still very much possible. In either case, with low pressure to our south and strong high pressure just to the north, we'll have a pretty strong pressure gradient and a windy 4-day period regardless.

CandymanColumbusGA Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Shoot.... I'm more interested to see how much rain Miami can pick up from Sandy. I want to see that rain record! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flweathernerd Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 The impacts from Sandy have been relatively tame. One or two brief heavy rain squalls, but light rain throughout. Winds have been around 20 to 30 mph with some higher gusts, but nothing too bad. I was hoping for more, but i'll take what exciting weather I can get.

stormitecture Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 I guess wet season is clearly over. Granted my quick visit yielded a bit of rain just over a week ago. Is there a specific aspect that says when it is over (other than the obvious lack of significant rain)? Type of rain, wind shift, etc. Always familiar with the seasons, but need to learn more.
