Florida ?

[icebreaker5221]

Cool ring of storms earlier today due to an interesting combination of outflow-boundary collisions in an unstable environment completely surrounding a downdraft-cooled, low theta-e / stable region.

"As I said in the other thread, all you need to do is copy/paste the URL of the video.  As far as the BBCode Mode goes, I have always had that toggled so that I can use all the posting features along the top."

Thanks, but that's exactly what I did.  Oh well. 

 

P.S. did you watch it?

Hi Guys, 

 

Quick message. I've been on holiday to Florida 3 or 4 times now and I find the climate there massively fascinating. So much so that I have TWC's app downloaded on my phone and a live radar covering Florida most evenings (yes, very sad I know). I was wondering if anyone could push me in the direction of televised weather forecasts for the Florida area. 

 

I have a couple of examples that were linked into the youtube video above - I find this kind of thing the most interesting.

Thanks guys!

The climate is fascinating.

 

Hot/T-storms/'Canes/Freezes/Snow (yes) - This time of year I can give you the forecast in my sleep - hot, muggy and thunder. But that changes in September and is variable until mid-May.

 

Anyway - for north Fla, your best link is: http://jacksonville.justweather.com/?default=true

 

For TV that is WJXT (Jax).

 

Good statewide radar: http://flhurricane.com/flradar.php

 

There's much more but not sure exactly what you're looking for.

 

Best!

Actually, those videos you posted are of mid-latitude synoptically-forced weather events that only happen a handful of times per year in FL.  If you're interested in squall lines and tornadoes, you'll also find great interest in the climate of the central planes of the U.S.  Every once in a while FL gets hit by a Great Plains style derecho event, most notably in 1993:

That said, this is not typical of the climate of FL.  However, if you're more interested in sea-breeze thunderstorms and lightning in general, than you've come to the right place!  FL is actually fairly unique climatologically because it is one of the few locations of similar latitude that isn't arid in either the northern or southern hemisphere.  Think about it - FL is the same distance from the equator as Baja California, the Saharan Desert, Saudi Arabia, the Atacama (Chile), and much of Australia.  There are so many dry locations at similar latitude because this is the latitude in which the Hadley cell meets the Ferrel cell - a global latitude of subsidence (when averaged over space and time).  However, because FL is surrounded by warm water, lift from the sea-breezes can easily overcome this large-scale sinking pattern generate thunderstorms all wet-season long! 

 

You should be able to find live or pre-recorded weather reports for Miami on either of these sites:

Here's a couple "historic" links about Fla weather:

And please disregard, at your own will, any editorial or doctrinal links at the bottom of these sites; these two links above are for informational purposes only (and some of it is quite fascinating); but I have no way to delete or scrub the embedded theological links at the bottom of either.
