Big rain in Sw. Fl.

#1 Postby flyingphish » Sat Aug 19, 2006 9:48 pm

I do not know if it is the effect of 93 invest or the advancing MJO pulse, but we got one of the most intense rain events I have seen in many years. Almost four inches of rain in about 90 minutes. Not to mention, some hailstones. I am confident the pulse is already impacting the weather. This beg's the question..how much..with all the hostility to the East? Could be a passive season with most events forming close to home. This is due to the fact that the MJO will advance to the East into hostility and then it is a non event. Seems to me that whatever potential landfaller's we get out of this shortening season may happen in the next few weeks ,close to home. Then a lull ,and possibly an october player,
in the Gulf or Carribean, due, in most part ,to SST's. and less shear.
I lean towards a passive season. But it only takes one "homegrown" like the Key's Labor Day or a Mitch to make any season memorable. Not to mention, some solitary Cape Verde characters, should they slip through.

Right on the money.

What if anything do you make of the ULL over the bahamas -- haven't seen discussion but saw something on CIMSS winds

Saw that bank of convection to the south of the island yesterday. Immediately told me the atmosphere is becoming more tropical. Naples got 6 inches, we got a trace. Lots of lightning. Ft Myers got 4 inches in spots.
