Wet to Dry in S FL

It hasn't rained here in two weeks since early July. It went from record rainfall rates to almost nothing in a span of 3 weeks.

Seems like whenever a hurricane passes us by, whether it's to the east, or to the south, it vacuums up all our moisture. It's been very hot and humid...but there's something missing as far as conditions for measurable rain, it seems.

Sinking air around the hurricane perhaps??

And a westward expanding Bermuda High.

Definately been alot drier here in East Central Florida as well, although the inland counties have been getting some storms from the seabreeze boudary interactions.

Definately a strong ridge in place right now.

Tampa bay area has had heavy thunderstorms every evening but I expect the bikers and golfers will be able to enjoy some drier air soon.

Here in NE Florida we went from rain everyday to nothing in the last 4 days.

I think we should see some of that mess associated with the former 99L, in the next few days.

Life is not perfect. When is raining, the problem is too much rain. When it doesn't rain, the problem is the drought. That's life.

Yall are preaching to the choir. In Texas we went from no rain the entire month of June to daily rain in July.

It's all about the ridge.

I think we are about to enter another brutally hot and dry period on the MS gulf coast. *sigh*

I want to revise my prediction. All my convection disappeared. As usual, we'll get very little from the wave. We never get that much from passing tropical waves, it seems.........the predicted rainfall is always over-forecasted, IMO.

They wave went poof. That high is so strong it virtually dried up the wave.

Want some rain. I will be more than happy to send you some right now. I am tired of the hot humid weather and the short term thunderstorms that miss up my trips to the pool with my girls.

Send it overnight express :lol:

I've been lucky here south of Miami...had small popcorn last night and this morning. Also, fantastic clouds and sunset last night.

Did anyone wake up to the very red and dramatic morning sky yesterday?? As in "Sailor take warning..." I was surprised, with the storm to our south and west. But i guess the "rule" is for retrograding systems (moving west to east) and NOT for tropical weather?

Just an aside, but I love all those "old sayings" don't you?
