Florida Weather

[O Town]

Okay, I have had enough. I am over the rain. And I have a feeling that invest 92 is going to keep it cloudy and rainy.

[JonathanBelles]

Im getting moderate rain right now. My HS is flooded as usual, and there is minor street flooding that should be gone by midnight unless it keeps raining.

[JonathanBelles]

I think I got between 3-4" and it is still misting.

[O Town]

Drizzling when I woke up at 6:30, done for now, but I just know we aren't done for the day. From one extreme to the other, from drought to flooding. Although I know we needed to catch up I just want a few sunny days thrown in.

[JonathanBelles]

Officially I got almost an inch and a half, but it takes a little bit more than that to get my HS to flood.

[jdray]

NE Florida is under a flood watch again. Another round of 2-3 inches an hour, some areas getting multiple inches of rain, etc.

Its nasty!

[feederband]

Got some good rains today...

[dizzyfish]

Getting some good rain right now!

[artist]

sick sick sick of the rain here in northern Palm Beach county! We are being surrounded by a mote that I do not like! If we were to get a bad storm with much more rain we would literally be flooded and we are built up by the 2000 standards! I think this is 150 yr. flood plain area and it looks like this must be it. It won't take much more to hit the mark from hurricane Jeanne and Francis we had. We are directly west of the south end of lake O and I understand it is still way below level! I keep trying to blow it that way without much success so far!

[JonathanBelles]

Purple and brown skies again tonight, no rain but plenty of thunder.

[feederband]

Damn finally get to goto a lakeland football game and they only played for 4 minutes...Have to wait till monday now....12000 people there...Don't think will have 12000 on monday....

.DISCUSSION...12Z RAOB DATA SHOWS A RATHER SHARP MOISTURE GRADIENT
ACROSS THE PENINSULA THIS MORNING WITH THE DEEPEST MOISTURE (PW`S
>2") NOTED ACROSS CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN MOST LOCATIONS WHILE MUCH
DRIER AIR (PW`S .8 TO 1.3" RANGE) WAS NOTED ACROSS THE NORTHERN PENINSULA
AND PANHANDLE. MSAS SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWS A FRONTAL TROUGH ACROSS THE
SOUTH CENTRAL PENINSULA IN THE VICINITY OF LAKE OKEECHOBEE...WITH HIGH
PRESSURE RIDGING FROM THE MID ATLANTIC SOUTHWESTWARD TO NORTHERN
GULF.

HIGH PRESSURE TO OUR NORTH WILL SLOWLY SHIFT EAST THE REST OF TODAY.
AS IT DOES SO LOW/MID LEVEL FLOW WILL VEER INTO THE SOUTHEAST WHICH
WILL ALLOW THE AFOREMENTIONED FRONTAL TROUGH TO MOVE BACK TO THE NORTH
AS A DEVELOPING WARM FRONT DURING THE AFTERNOON. THE COMBINATION OF
THE NORTHWARD MOVING FRONT...DEEP MOISTURE SPREADING NORTH...ALONG
WITH SOME ENHANCED MID LEVEL LIFT SHOULD RESULT IN INCREASING RAIN
CHANCES ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA THROUGH THE AFTERNOON WITH ADEQUATE
INSTABILITY SUPPORTING SOME ISOLATED STORMS AS WELL. LARGE CANOPY
OF MID/UPPER LEVEL CLOUDS SHOULD HOLD TEMPERATURES IN THE MID 80S
OVER CENTRAL/NORTHERN ZONES WITH UPPER 80S TO ~90 FAR SOUTH WHERE
A FEW MORE BREAKS OF SUNSHINE ARE EXPECTED AS THE FRONT LIFTS NORTHWARD
DURING THE AFTERNOON. ONGOING FORECAST LOOKS IN GOOD SHAPE...SO NO
MORNING GRID/ZONE UPDATE ANTICIPATED AT THIS TIME.

[JonathanBelles]

We haven't broke 80 today. I see the lows have been bumped into the 60's now too. Very heavy rain this morning.

Made it to 76....71 now...Windows open..

[Opal storm]

We MIGHT have reached 60 today but with the clouds and stiff breeze it's been the coldest day of the season so far. Had to wear my heavy jacket that I usually don't pull out until November at the earliest. Hopefully this is a sign of a decent winter ahead for the south.

[dizzyfish]

Nice and cool outside. LOVE IT!

Checked the rain gauge got a little over 1-1/2" from the storms today. Oh yeah, 1-1/2" + a bitty frog.

I've heard of raining cats and dogs but frogs?

[Scorpion]

Wow perfect late fall/winter weather here. Overcast and 68 degrees, feels great.
