Hey everyone! Nice storm. Here's a couple of pics of the outflow/shelf cloud as it moved over S. Tampa about 430p

There is a nice outflow boundary moving from about Brandon NE into Polk County N of Lakeland... this is the area to watch for new storms

That storm had a weird track, It started in Old Tampa Bay and then moved Se and then SW and out of Tampa Bay, right around Pinellas County!!

Thought we may miss out today...But now were being HAMMERED......I love the rainy season..

Another line may come through here in about an hour.

Feederband, those storms fired up right over Lakeland like I expected. I just the NWS site didnt see any storm reports though that looked like a hailer in the Green Swamp. Here's what they look like from Tampa looking east, now.

And a nice rainbow... too bad I couldnt it them all in the same shot

These pictures are awesome thanks for sharing

We did have some hail about half a mile to my south..The lightning was the real story ...It really put on a show...

My pleasure! I love taking pictures of clouds and storms. trying to get some 'snaps of lightning but I havent quite figured out how to do it yet (the fish that got away...) The one on my sig is from video I shot.

I think it's cool to chat/post with people around experiencing the same weather but in different places in my area.
