The low cloud elements just North of the swirl center moving from the West, so absolutely nothing near the surface, and without storms, it'll never amount to anything.

Daytime heating might help generate it. Feels very tropical today in west central Florida.

Rain again today. Cloudly last few days. At this time of year you watch for development with lasting convection. Check out twist to rainbands off Tampa to Sarasota:

Maybe it's just the deep-rooted, faint hint of wishcaster inside me that's saying this, but I'm not gonna complain about the position of the convective burst. :P

Sever weather is always interesting, so with this happening just off shore I can't help but feel a bit exited.

Think something might be forming right overhead here. Heavy rain moving in.
