Re: Florida Weather Thread-Battle of the Seasons
Been raining here through much of the day. I was leaving the mall a few hours ago and lightning stuck right across the street! Not the best of weather for all the Christmas shopping going on.

HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAMPA BAY RUSKIN FL
255 PM EST SAT DEC 15 2007

TAMPA BAY WATERS-
255 PM EST SAT DEC 15 2007
THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR WEST CENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST
FLORIDA.
...THUNDERSTORM IMPACT...
A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE ACROSS THE NORTH CENTRAL PENINSULA COMBINED
WITH AMPLE LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AND DAYTIME HEATING WILL RESULT IN
SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS OVER WEST CENTRAL
AND SOUTHWEST FLORIDA THIS AFTERNOON. THUNDERSTORMS THAT DEVELOP
TODAY WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING LOCALLY HEAVY RAINS...GUSTY
WINDS AND FREQUENT CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING.
TONIGHT A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH FROM THE WEST AS A
DEVELOPING STORM SYSTEM MOVES NORTHEAST INTO THE OHIO RIVER
VALLEY. ABUNDANT MOISTURE COMBINED WITH INCREASING LARGE SCALE
LIFT WILL SUPPORT A DEVELOPING SQUALL LINE ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE
FRONT WHILE THE REMNANTS OF TROPICAL FEATURE OLGA WILL MERGE WITH
THE SQUALL LINE. THIS SQUALL LINE IS THEN EXPECTED TO AFFECT THE
NATURE COAST AROUND OR SHORTLY AFTER MIDNIGHT TONIGHT...THEN
NEARING THE BAY AREA BETWEEN 2 AND 6 AM...AND SOUTHWEST FLORIDA
BETWEEN 6 AM AND NOON ON SUNDAY.
CURRENT DATA INDICATES THE RISK FOR SOME SEVERE WEATHER ACROSS
WEST CENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST FLORIDA OVERNIGHT AND EARLY SUNDAY
MORNING WITH THE PASSAGE OF THIS FRONT. LOW AND MID LEVEL WINDS
ARE FORECAST TO INCREASE INTO THE 45 TO 55 KNOT RANGE OVERNIGHT AS
LOW AND MID LEVEL JET STREAKS MOVE ACROSS THE REGION IN
ASSOCIATION WITH THE DEVELOPING STORM SYSTEM WELL TO THE NORTH OF
THE REGION. THESE INCREASING WIND FIELDS COMBINED WITH RICH
BOUNDARY LAYER MOISTURE AND SOME ADDITIONAL UPPER LEVEL ENERGY
FROM THE REMNANTS OF OLGA BEING DRAWN NORTHEASTWARD INTO THE
EASTERN GULF WILL SUPPORT THE POSSIBILITY OF DAMAGING WINDS AND
ISOLATED TORNADOES AND MARINE WATERSPOUTS IN THE VICINITY OF
STRONGEST THUNDERSTORMS OVERNIGHT AND EARLY SUNDAY MORNING.
LOCALLY HEAVY RAINS WILL BE ALSO BE POSSIBLE...WHICH MAY CAUSE
MINOR FLOODING OF LOW LYING AND POOR DRAINAGE AREAS AS WELL AS THE
PONDING OF WATER ON ROADWAYS.
AT THE PRESENT TIME THE HIGHEST RISK FOR SEVERE WEATHER WILL BE
OVER THE NATURE COAST FROM HERNANDO COUNTY NORTH OVERNIGHT INTO
EARLY SUNDAY MORNING WHERE THE STRONGEST FORCING AND BEST JET
DYNAMICS WILL RESIDE WITH ISOLATED SEVERE STORMS POSSIBLE OVER THE
REMAINDER OF WEST CENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST FLORIDA.
...WIND AND SEA IMPACT...
SOUTHEAST TO SOUTH WINDS WILL INCREASE OVER THE ADJACENT GULF WATERS
DURING THIS AFTERNOON. WINDS WILL BECOME SOUTHWEST AND INCREASE TO
20 TO 25 KNOTS WITH SEAS BUILDING TO 5 TO 7 FEET OVERNIGHT...THEN
WINDS WILL SHIFT RAPIDLY INTO THE NORTHWEST AT 20 TO 25 KNOTS WITH
SEAS BUILDING TO 8 TO 10 FEET WELL OFFSHORE ON SUNDAY AND CONTINUING
INTO MONDAY IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT. THESE INCREASING WINDS AND
SEAS WILL MAKE FOR VERY ROUGH BOATING CONDITIONS AND ALL SMALL
CRAFT OPERATORS MAY WANT TO POSTPONE TRIPS INTO THE GULF UNTIL
CONDITIONS IMPROVE EARLY NEXT WEEK.
.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY.
...THUNDERSTORM IMPACT...
A SQUALL LINE AHEAD OF A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL BE AFFECTING
WEST CENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST FLORIDA EARLY SUNDAY MORNING. SOME
OF THE THUNDERSTORMS COULD BE SEVERE WITH THE PRIMARY HAZARDS
BEING LOCALLY HEAVY RAINS...DAMAGING WINDS...FREQUENT
LIGHTNING...AND ISOLATED TORNADOES AND MARINE WATERSPOUTS. IN THE
WAKE OF THE FRONT A MUCH COLDER AND DRIER AIR MASS WILL OVERSPREAD
ALL OF WEST CENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST FLORIDA WITH THE RAIN AND
THUNDERSTORMS ENDING FROM NORTH TO SOUTH DURING THE AFTERNOON.
BLUSTERY NORTHWEST TO NORTH WINDS IN THE 20 TO 25 KNOT RANGE WITH
SEAS IN THE 7 TO 9 FOOT RANGE WILL MAKE FOR VERY ROUGH BOATING
CONDITIONS ON THE ADJACENT GULF WATERS...AND SMALL CRAFT OPERATORS
MAY WANT TO POSTPONE TRIPS INTO THE GULF UNTIL CONDITIONS IMPROVE
EARLY NEXT WEEK.
THE STRONG ONSHORE FLOW WILL ALSO PRODUCE ROUGH SURF...RIP
CURRENTS...AND LARGE BREAKING WAVE ACTION ALONG THE COAST WITH SOME
MINOR COASTAL FLOODING POSSIBLE AT TIMES OF HIGH TIDE ON SUNDAY...AND
A HIGH SURF ADVISORY MAY BE REQUIRED LATER TONIGHT OR EARLY SUNDAY.
RESIDENTS LIVING ALONG THE COAST SHOULD REMAIN ALERT TO ANY RAPID
RISES IN WATER LEVELS AND TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTIONS TO PROTECT LIFE
AND PROPERTY SHOULD FLOODING BE OBSERVED.
A MUCH COLDER AND DRIER AIR MASS WILL OVERSPREAD WEST CENTRAL AND
SOUTHWEST FLORIDA SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY WITH TEMPERATURES FALLING
INTO THE LOWER 30S OVER THE NATURE COAST AND LOWER TO MID 40S
ELSEWHERE. THESE COLD TEMPERATURES COMBINED WITH BRISK NORTHWEST
TO NORTH WINDS WILL YIELD LOW WIND CHILLS AND A WIND CHILL ADVISORY
MAY BE REQUIRED FOR PORTIONS OF THE REGION SUNDAY NIGHT. RESIDENTS
SHOULD PLAN ON BRINGING TEMPERATURE SENSITIVE PLANTS INDOORS SUNDAY
EVENING. REMEMBER TO BRING PETS INDOORS AS WELL. RESIDENTS PLANNING
TO BE OUT SUNDAY NIGHT AND EARLY MONDAY MORNING SHOULD PREPARE
ACCORDINGLY. BRING SEVERAL LAYERS OF CLOTHING...AS THEY WILL INSULATE
YOU BETTER THAN A SINGLE COAT OR JACKET. CHILDREN WAITING FOR BUSES
MONDAY MORNING SHOULD BE DRESSED IN WARM CLOTHING TO PROTECT THEM
FROM THE COLD.
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING ALONG THE MID ATLANTIC SOUTHWEST TO THE NORTHERN
GULF WILL SUPPORT PLEASANT DRY WEATHER TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY WITH AN
EASTERLY FLOW HELPING TO MODERATE TEMPERATURES BACK TO NEAR SEASONAL
NORMS.
.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
SPOTTERS SHOULD MONITOR THE WEATHER. FORMAL ACTIVATION MAY BE REQUIRED
LATE TONIGHT.

Re: Florida Weather Thread-TOR Watch out for NFL/SWGA/SEAL
Hey fact what is your take on the timing of severe weather in my neck of the woods? (Pasco County) I plan on getting up in the wee hours to check on things. Don't want to get up at 2 and not need to get up until 4. 
I have heard the timing is tricky with this because of the moisture from Olga.
May be storms in front of the squall line. Just curious what you and others might think.

Opal storm
Re: Florida Weather Thread-TOR Watch out for NFL/SWGA/SEAL
Pensacola News Journal wrote:Strong winds have caused damage in southeastern Santa Rosa County.
Santa Rosa County spokeswoman Joy Tsubooka said at least four structures -- a house on Coral Street and three trailers -- have been damaged.
The house on Coral Street sustained moderate damage to the roof. The house has been vacant for several months.
Neighbor Cora Lee was home when the wind hit.
"We heard the wind then and saw debris flying around," she said. "It got real dark and we jumped in the tub."
Lee's house is one of several that lost electricity. Gulf Power crews are at the scene making repairs.
The winds headed into Okaloosa County. Emergency dispatchers there said no damage has been reported.
The National Weather Service in Mobile has reported wind damage in the Navarre area of Santa Rosa County.
“That’s all that we know at this moment. We’d be able to better assess the situation in the area on Sunday to have a definite answer as to how extensive the wind damage is and what caused it,” metereologist Kirk Caceres said.
Details will be posted as they become available.
Been hearing a lot about damage in that area on my police scanner, lots of down trees and powerlines. Maybe a brief twister.

Re: Florida Weather Thread-TOR Watch out for NFL/SWGA/SEAL
This seems like a very broad span of time to me. Definitely could be some severe weather associated with this front.
AT THE PRESENT TIME...THE LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS IS EXPECTED TO MOVE
INTO THE NATURE COAST FROM AROUND MIDNIGHT THROUGH 4 AM...THEN
THROUGH THE TAMPA BAY AREA FROM AROUND 2 AM THROUGH ABOUT SUNRISE
ON SUNDAY AND THROUGH SOUTHWEST FLORIDA DURING SUNDAY MORNING.
ABUNDANT TROPICAL MOISTURE AND ADDITIONAL LOW LEVEL SHEAR FROM THE
REMNANTS OF TROPICAL FEATURE OLGA ARE ALSO EXPECTED TO MERGE WITH
THE SQUALL LINE AS LARGE SCALE FORCING FROM THE SIGNIFICANT UPPER
LEVEL DISTURBANCE PUSHES ALL THE ACTIVITY INTO THE NORTHERN HALF
OF THE FLORIDA PENINSULA OVERNIGHT.
LATEST MODEL DATA INDICATES A CONTINUED RISK FOR SEVERE WEATHER
ACROSS WEST CENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST FLORIDA OVERNIGHT AND EARLY
SUNDAY MORNING WITH THE PASSAGE OF THIS PRE FRONTAL TROUGH. LOW AND MID
LEVEL WINDS ARE FORECAST TO INCREASE INTO THE 45 TO 55 KNOT RANGE
OVERNIGHT AS LOW AND MID LEVEL JET STREAKS MOVE ACROSS THE REGION
IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE DEVELOPING STORM SYSTEM WELL TO THE NORTH
OF THE REGION. THESE INCREASING WIND FIELDS COMBINED WITH RICH
BOUNDARY LAYER MOISTURE AND SOME ADDITIONAL UPPER LEVEL ENERGY
FROM THE REMNANTS OF OLGA BEING DRAWN NORTHEASTWARD INTO THE
EASTERN GULF WILL SUPPORT THE POSSIBILITY OF DAMAGING WINDS AND
ISOLATED TORNADOES AND MARINE WATERSPOUTS IN THE VICINITY OF
STRONGEST THUNDERSTORMS OVERNIGHT AND EARLY SUNDAY MORNING.
LOCALLY HEAVY RAINS WILL BE ALSO BE POSSIBLE...WHICH MAY CAUSE
MINOR FLOODING OF LOW LYING AND POOR DRAINAGE AREAS AS WELL AS THE
PONDING OF WATER ON ROADWAYS.
Guess I'm heading for a nap now and set the alarm for around 2. Hope it doesn't pick up speed or 2 may be too late.
