Weather alerts and watches for most of the Florida peninsula...

from the SPC http://www.spc.noaa.gov/

from NWS Tampa Bay http://www.srh.noaa.gov/tbw/html/tbw/

Looks like my aunt in Wachula is getting a nasty storm about now.
Tornado warning for Polk County too.

Careful out there!

Looks like the storms north of us may miss us but we may get a brush by them. Figures I washed my car.

I live in Tampa. Should I water the garden or not? Any opinions. It looks kind of iffy.

It just passed us here a while ago and it gave us a great downpour and some brief heavy winds. Looks like we got 1.08 inches. Yay.

There was a strong smell of smoke during the rain too, I am wondering if its because it was dowsing some of the fires out?

Ughh...I don't expect a drop of rain until
the Middle of June 2007,
because all the storms have missed
me to the east, AGAIN.
Every Single Potted Plant
around my yard is dead
and much of my grass
is dead.
Stupid Drought.

Thanks for washing your car! Hope we see at least a little rain. The little bit we got yesterday sure didn't do much. Caught me off guard though!

Lovely rain. Sweet rain.

Finally some decent moderate rain sweeped through my area!!! WHOHOOO!

this is my condition from NWS: Thunderstorm Rain Fog/Mist


Just a little mixed up
It was coming down hard a minute ago.

yay Tampa International got 0.35 inches of rain.
But the big rain gauge winner in Florida belonged to Miami, with a very heavy thunderstorm around 8pm last night there that produced some hail in the Kendall area... 2.90 inches of rain fell at Miami International.
