Current radar looks like a popcorn storm explosion

 

Yup and I watched one kernel of popcorn literally move from about 2 miles to my south to 1 mile to my east and then to about 4 miles to my northeast, all within the past 10 minutes.  I could even see the dark clouds associated with it. :blink:

It briefly hit 91 before dropping back to 88 while it was overcast during the popcorn miss... Sun is back out again though so I expect the temp to shoot back up again.  Dp has been in the low 70s much of the time.

I had the same thought, and an initial kernel fizzled, but we just had a nice tropical feeling downpour, about 0.35" in 10 minutes. No lightning with it, but I can hear some rumbles off to the NE now.

I am finally under a microscopic dot that is giving me some rain.  So far at 0.05" at post time.  It had already hit 91 with 75 dp before the rain came in.  Temp is down to 89 with a shower.

Only 83 here, sun is out, steam rising here and there, delicious out!

I've been watching the clusters headed that way and was hoping you would at least cash in on some of it... but apparently that ain't happening. :wacko:

5 minute downpour and a few distant rumbles but there is more tracking from the west

Some mammatus clouds I photographed while in Fort de Soto, Fl.  There was a strong thunderstorm to our east over Tampa bay with a big wall cloud.  My girlfriend got some good timelapse video of it rotating up as it moved towards us.  I'll see if I can get it.  I've never seen mammatus in person, let alone in our area, so I was super excited that they were directly overhead.  Sorry I know it's not our forum's area, but I thought you guys would still like to see them.  

 

It's still pouring at PHL, waiting on my ride.  No tornado here.

Nice.  Am surprised you haven't seen mammatus around your area. I usually manage to randomly catch a glimpse of some maybe a few times a year if I happen to take the time to go outside when some storm cells are moving near or into my area or I am out somewhere and a gust front is coming soon.
