Ed, snow and hurricane fan Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Not naming names, but I hope for not just the one Florida red tagger in here. Mods/admins can remove this post if needed. I'm not everybody's favorite poster nor can upload moving gifs from Tropical Tidbits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is still on Twitter, but he doesn't identify his employer. But his name shows up in TC discussions, originally as a second name/apprentice, but he now issues forecasts and discussions alone.

When they go to the secret track for SHIPS (the model consensus, not medium steering) is when they are close to pulling the trigger.

Yeah, it’s totally unsurprising an early season system struggles with shear. Been a while since we had June eye candy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed, snow and hurricane fan Posted June 1, 2022 Author Share Posted June 1, 2022 Because of the shear and the likelihood any LLC will be chasing the MLC, medium steering is better than the consensus, IMO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prospero Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Here in Gulfport FL (Tampa Bay), we could always use a real soaker in June. It has rained the past two nights, everything got a needed drink. But it is the early Tropical systems that make us a real tropical paradise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CampergirlFL Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Well, I’m supposed to be towing a camper from east Tampa to west of Jax on Saturday, heading to Savannah but the timeline may have to be flexible. . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on the current trends, I-4 from Tampa to Jacksonville seems to be the cutoff of the impacts. You'd probably miss the bad stuff. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far we in Tampa Bay are north. Could be some thunderstorms pop up, we even had a tiny tornado last night. You will probably be fine.

Modfan2 Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 Areas of S FL, south of West Palm have been pretty wet over the last 30 days so this additional rain will not help. The are some small pockets further north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxWatcher007 Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 Recon en route Tropical Weather Outlook NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL 200 PM EDT Thu Jun 2 2022 For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico: 1. Near the Yucatan Peninsula and Southeastern Gulf of Mexico: A broad area of low pressure located over the northeastern portion of the Yucatan Peninsula continues to produce a large area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms over the northwestern Caribbean Sea and Yucatan Peninsula. Despite strong upper-level winds, this system is likely to become a tropical depression or tropical storm while it moves slowly northeastward over the northwestern Caribbean Sea and southeastern Gulf of Mexico during the next day or two. Interests in western Cuba, the Florida Keys, the Florida Peninsula, and the northwestern Bahamas should monitor the progress of this system, and tropical storm watches or warnings will likely be required for some of these areas later today. Regardless of development, areas of heavy rainfall are likely across portions of the Yucatan Peninsula and western Cuba during the next day or so, spreading across southern and central Florida and the Florida Keys Friday and Friday night, and the northwestern Bahamas on Saturday. These heavy rains could cause scattered to numerous flash floods across South Florida and the Florida Keys. * Formation chance through 48 hours...high...90 percent. * Formation chance through 5 days...high...90 percent.

turtlehurricane Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 The remnants of Agatha essentially phased (combined) with the disturbance and now it's getting alot bigger and more impressive, like the ECMWF scenario. Outer bands already moving into the Keys and South Florida. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cptcatz Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 Gotta think we'll get a PTC, TD, or TS at 5pm along with warnings/watches as impacts in South Florida will likely be starting within 24 hours of then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt we see a name at 5pm. Looks like a PTC to me as I don’t really see a tight low level center based on recon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turtlehurricane Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 First outer rainband moving through right as Tropical Storm Watch was issued. Started with lots of rolling thunder, followed by a blast of 30 mph gusts and heavy rain, and now it's been a moderate rain for a long time. Very exciting stuff! Also, this rainband was the leading edge of the big cloud mass that comprises the storm. We're truly in the cyclone from now until it's over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dbullsfan22 Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 Interesting weather, I was out at the beach all day in Clearwater about an hour away from my house in Northern Tampa/Wesley Chapel area. Tons of sun and no rain at the beach, about 1/2 way home starts to rain, by the time I’m home I have a flooded back yard and street. So whatever band or outskirts hit this area must have hit pretty good. Still some Thunder/lightning and light rain 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turtlehurricane Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 Tropical Storm Warnings now in effect for the Keys, all of South Florida, and alot of Central Florida. Track shifted a bit south, cause I wasn't even in cone before, but now I'm in the actual cone. Recon found that this has tropical storm force winds, but the center was ever so narrowly unclosed. However, in storm relative motion it obviously is a closed tropical cyclone. We could easily see this declared Tropical Storm Alex by 11 am. Also, really cool feature passing by South Florida right now. A secondary circulation generated by all the deep convection yesterday has become exposed, showing up good on both satellite and radar. And it has a decent amount of inclement weather swirling around it, so a big swath of rain is spreading over South Florida as this secondary mid-level circulation passes by. Of course, the fact such a feature exists is a tell-tale sign of the powerful shear that is warping this tropical cyclone. There is some serious diurnal max convection going up, but the convection is quite elongated and almost completely off to the east of the center. That being said, in a case like this, it's possible convection will wrap around center at some point, and I've seen scenarios where that leads to really fast intensification and very severe weather around the center in sheared systems. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROOSTA Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 Being a transplant from MA. I've always wanted to experience the fury of Mother Nature. The snowstorms, Noreasters, lived through them all. They're all docile compared to a tropical entity. Since being in FL I've had second thoughts, not worth risking life, property and living conditions. Go a week without electric in the Summer heat, most would agree it suxs. 91L is weak sauce I'll be lucky to see winds in the 20-25mph range. Right sided storms just don't cut it. Still fascinating watching the LL swirls getting shredded with the "fixed' open position N of the Yucatan. NEXT... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rain will be the biggest problem down here; although it has been fairly dry over the last month where I am areas south of Palm Beach of had 6-12”.
