I may be paranoid BUT

In the 10pm infra-red loop there seems to be more solid counter-clockwise rotation over FLORIDA than in Franklin or #7!
Someone please tell me I'm seeing things.

[Stratusxpeye]

What would this mean for Florida?

[Brent]

I believe it's an upper level low...

Nothing to worry about...

thank you very much! have been working & haven't seen a map since late thursday so i'm not real up to date. whew.

Don't necessarily breath too deep a sigh of relief. That upper low over the Peninsula helped with afternoon t'storms over the North Central Peninsula this afternoon. Those storms yielded a few reports of wind damage and widespread lightning. At least one lightning strike has resulted in a moderate brush fire. Tomorrow will see much the same, possibly more widespread across the state.

I drove on I-95 from NC to the Orlando area last night, and in between the GA/FL border and Jacksonville there was a awesome t-storm. Vivid lightning, the kind I haven't seen since, well, since I've moved out of Florida, was visible for an hour before I actually got to the storm, and once I got to it, it was raining the proverbial cats and dogs, traffic slowed down to 35 in a matter of seconds (almost dangerously,) because you couldn't see much past the end of your hood. Once on the other side of the storm, even though was night, you could tell you were emerging from low, dense clouds.
