Clusters of strong storms tracked from the SE to NW...very typical of our summer sea breeze storms. The temps at the mid-levels were colder than they have been over the past few days which added some punch to these. South Tampa got hit very hard. |

Late sea breeze arrived across my location w/ low-topped convection/embedded thundershowers. A stalled front to our NW has maintained a summer-like pattern across west/central FL. A cold front approaching from the NW will push the stalled boundary south & vacate our area early Monday. Much drier are will dig down & finally dry us out. |

Afternoon sea breeze storms advanced thru my location today. A stationary front that stretches from GA's east coast westward to our Big Bend region & further westward continues to hang around & should be w/ us for at least 1 more day as a dry front advances SE. A much drier air mass will reach us by early Tuesday morning although it will continue to remain warm. |

West/central FLA was under a Slight Risk threat for the outbreak of severe weather for most of the day today. However, only a trace of precip was recorded at my location while southwestern & southeastern FLA did report severe weather. In fact, 10+ inches of rain fell across certain areas of south FLA & 1 report confirmed of a tornado touchdown causing damage. Behind this system a much cooler & drier air mass will be in place giving us a more seasonal feel. |

Early morning sea breeze boundary in addition to a large moisture pool over southwestern FLA advected across my location giving many a much needed dose of rain. Record heat over the past wk has been contributing to a Gulf breeze which has collided w/ the westward-moving Atlantic breeze which we normally don't experience unti summer. It has felt every bit of summer lately. More to come w/ this patter over the next few days. |

Early morning storms tracked across my location containing damaging winds, hail, torrential rain & some flooding...especially in areas of south Tampa. This was a highly unusual event as west/central FLA rarely experiences early morning storms of this nature. This was triggered by a large & deep trough which gradually became a closed system. This closed-low contained a large meso complex that carried several meso vorticies that tracked across west/central & SW FLA. The low does not look as if it will be going anywhere soon & should set up another round of convection for tomorrow. |

Moderate flooding occurred in the traditional low-lying & poor drainage areas. Hip deep water took place in areas of south Tampa as well.

Increasing moisture columns are advecting northward from the Caribbean from a tropical disturbance that the NHC designated as Invest 92-L. At the moment, the NHC give the disturbed weather a 50% chance of becoming a closed system w/in the next 48 hrs. PW values shoe 2.12 inches as of this time w/ higher moisture content to make its way here by tomorrow. Thus, the combination of sea breeze interactions, outflow boundaries & the proximity of the wave's axis should lead to thunderstorm development at just about anytime over the next few days. Some storms will be capable of producing torrential tropical downpours. |

This meso briefly warmed temps at the 500mb level today. As it moves away & weakens temps will cool down quickly at that level. Storms should be very strong tomorrow. |

Bands of rain w/ squalls were in progress for most of the afternoon & evening as a low ctr located over the south/central Gulf (ex 95-L) is merging w/ a stalled frontal boundary located across northern FL & the southern Gulf states. Very heavy rainfall has occurred in areas south of our location in addition to over the central Gulf. A flood watch was issued by the NWS early this afternoon thru tomorrow night & may need to be extended as many areas have rec'd over 4 inches of rain already. The low is expected to cross the Big Bend/Tampa area by tomorrow morning bringing additional heavy rainfall before vacating our area late Tuesday. |

The 2nd round of significant rainfall began during the early morning hrs & our commute to work. Tropical-like downpours crossed our location & extended westward 150 miles...as far as the Doppler coverage could reach. The frontal boundary continues to remain draped over the northern FLA counties while the surface low continues to spin over the Gulf. These 2 features have created a very deep tropical flow from the central Caribbean w/ PW values ranging from 2.30/2.55 inches...that's as tropical as you can get. The final push should take place early tomorrow morning w/ some clearing during the late afternoon. Drier air will be pushing down from the NW this weekend. |

Should be the last batch of significant precip as the stalled boundary, in addition to the surface low, have started to move away. There is an area of low pressure expected to form by late tomorrow that is expected to pull what is left of the stalled boundary eastward while ridging builds in from the NW. Behind this front is a much drier air mass w/ PW values ranging from 1.20-1.30 inches as compared to PW values exceeding 2.5 inches south of the boundary. Meanwhile, our location remains south of the boundary & another day of very heavy rain took place starting at day break & ended during the late afternoon hrs. |
