Florida post your weather conditions

[AmeliaIslandr]

Looking very dark northeast of me, towards my home, Ameilia Island. I'm at the JAX airport, but no wind the trees outside my window aren't moving at all

[jusforsean]

not a drip.............

[decgirl66]

I am in Central Florida, NE of Orlando, can I assume Alberto is done with us? All we got was a lot of rain, and it is still really overcast....

[Dean4Storms]

Had a passing Squall if you want to call it that, wind gust to 21mph and a few raindrops. We need the rain bad over here, only 1.21" here at my place the past two months, that God for sprinklers.

[HurricaneHunter914]

We haven't had anymore downpours yet but we'll get another one soon.

Are u kidding? There is another bad cell over us at the moment (3rd or 4th for the day) and u are right up the road from me. Those N & NE of me, watch out...it is headed your way.

[cmdebbie]

my weather radio is going off right now

[HurricaneHunter914]

The downpour has begun in Sanford.

[decgirl66]

I am actually in Lake Mary at work right now, should be a wonderful ride home in about an hour! So, are we going to have this weather all night? I am not sure how fast Mr. Alberto is moving...

[cmdebbie]

It has calmed somewhat here already, but looks as if the bottom could drop again at any time. We have a tornado watch. Be careful driving and yes, I would expect this type of weather to last through the night and perhaps into tomorrow, but I am not a pro.

[decgirl66]

Have I mentioned lately how much I love this board???

Thanks for the replies cmdebbie!

[cmdebbie]

Thanks for the replies cmdebbie!

You are welcome. Our tornado watch is now in effect until 10Pm instead of 5PM. I would imagine they will probably extend it again.

[HurricaneHunter914]

Stay safe even though most of the strongest thunderstorms are diminishing.

[meteorologyman]

I'm glad to hear that no one has gotten hurt, still stay safe, storm is not over yet.

I think the worst is over for Orlando area (which wasn't bad of course)but i'm not holding my breath on it

[cmdebbie]

Just heard Tom Terry say he expects it to make landfall around sunrise in Cedar Key as a minimal hurricane (75 mph). Our rain chances for tomorrow are 90%, then 50% for Wed. & Thurs., 30% Fri.

Woo hoo...we are getting that rain atlas....
