SmokeEater Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Those of us who wish for severe weather like this need to think twice. We all get excited for extreme weather events. But this is just horrible...Can you imagine this happening to one of your family members? Thoughts and prayers going out to this family tonight. Absolutely horrible.... It's horrible that it happened, but no one here wished death on anyone. Almost with every deadly tornado there's situations like this, and discussion on a wx forum won't change that.

dan11295 Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 The good news right now is the rainfall rate are generally waning with the convection being sheared off to the east. Of course it could refire again like yesterday but will have to wait and see on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Lizard Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Gulf of Mexico IR2 imagery, almost like "night visible" (they messed with it on floaters a couple years back for some reason) on SSD shows nice LLC, apparently nearly devoid of convection. TLH and TBW radars would seem to confirm not much (at least deep) convection with the center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Lizard Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 It has an eye! ETA: It does almost look like a frontal occlusion. I could almost imagine comments about the CCB and snowfall bombs... j/k Weenie wishcast, LLC stays behind in Gulf, drifts Westward while Ernesto develops from MLC over Atlantic. A boy can hope.

turtlehurricane Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Looks like Debby is finally about to make landfall south of Cross City, Florida (sometime later today at least as the cold front starts to give her a kick). The 26" of rain with Debby in Sanborn is incredible, hopefully we don't see anything like that as she slowly moves eastwards across the state. Can't rule out another flood though if convection fires near the center again.

OKpowdah Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 the circulation is looking more symmetric in the last few hours. Probably will be getting some assistance from frictional convergence. Matters little ...only in aesthetics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stormspotterlive Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 New convective flair up slowly getting its act together Hopefully we do not see another flood threat like yesterday but I have a strong feeling we will see strong rain banding this evening as Debby makes land fall from the convection firing now.

Seems like a pretty intense storm for some regions in northern Florida. 20-30 inches of snow is insane even in Buffalo. I cannot imagine what 20-30 inches of rain looks like...

Warmer temperatures hold more water then colder. You would never see liquid equivalent snowstorm of 20-30 inches of qpf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloWeather Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Looks like Jacksonville is going to be getting destroyed for several hours with 1-2 inch rainfall rates.

Still nothing where I'm at in Gainesville. I must have a rain/wind shield. ETA: C'mon people I meant its lame where I'm at and the thing is supposed to move right over me. Seems like most of the raind/wind is from the front that's pulling Debby north...but that's just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
