Hit & miss tropical-like showers tracked E/NE across our location this day as an U/L low spins across northeast FL. Cooler & drier air on the backside of this feature & C-3 Hurricane Joaquin has brought our temps down several degrees. This variable, in addition to some low-level convergence has triggered bouts of scattered rain. |

A surface disturbance, remnants of what was once Hurricane Patricia, continues to track across the northern Gulf states. This feature has an associated cold boundary stretching from NE/SW separating a very rich tropical air mass east of the boundary w/ a much drier air mass west. Ahead of this advancing front is a large warm sector w/ precipitable water values trending to nearly 2.00 inches...a 90th percentile above historical norms for late October. Showers & a few embedded isolated low-topped convective cells have been slowly advancing eastward toward the FL west coast. The front is expected to cross our location sometime tomorrow afternoon. Until then, we can expect scattered rain w/ pds of heavier rainfall during the overnight hrs & tomorrow. |

Scattered sea breeze related showers have been drifting from east/west as 2 large dominating highs remain anchored across the eastern third of the US. Unseasonably warm temps w/ many areas breaking all time highs continue into its 7th day over the southeastern US & the FL peninsula w/ temps in the low 90s & dew pt values ranging from the low/mid 70s. No changes are expected for at least the next 48 hrs as an U/L disturbance moves across the FL/GA border bringing changes on Monday. |

Over the next few wks our region is anticipating a series of conga fronts that will provide warm & humid conditions w/in a large warm sector w/ much colder & blustery NW winds behind the front. A few of these will be of Arctic origin that may provide an excellent breeding ground for isolated severe weather. |

Mostly cloudy skies & a rain-cooled environment acted to stabilize our atmosphere w/ light to moderate rain over our region. At least 3 confirmed EF-1 tornadoes touched down in southeastern FL w/ 1 twister causing damage in Coconut Creek...about 10 miles north of Pompano Bch. This has been the 3rd straight week the SPC had shaded our region w/ the threat of organized thunderstorms w/ a Marginal or Slight Risk. It's still January w/ more to come. |

The initial surge of tropical moisture well ahead of an intensifying surface low forming over eastern TX triggered brief showers across our region tonight.
A deeper moisture surge will be well underway by the morning as this surface low tracks E/NE thru the Arklatex tomorrow. This system is expected to trigger a widespread & significant outbreak of severe weather across the south/central Gulf state beginning Tuesday afternoon (2/23) into our region Wednesday morning (2/24). The SPC has elevated the threat to Enhanced Risk for most of the region w/ a Slight Risk for most of west/central FL. |

Cold pool driven QLSC advanced from NW/SE producing torrential rainfall, damaging wind swaths 65+mph & small hail crossed our location. System was part of a much larger convective system that produced damaging winds & large hail across our Panhandle earlier this afternoon/evening. The entire region of west/central & areas of east/central FL have been shaded for a Marginal Risk threat for tomorrow as well. Stalled boundary along the base of a large trough will remain draped across the FL/GA border region for at least the next 24-48 hrs. Model guidance shows several weak energy vorticies will spin across the boundary while surface CAPE, PWAT & dew pt values will offer decent instability & marginally favorable environment for strong/severe thunderstorms. |

As his ctr moved closer toward our Big Bend, his winds & rain bands became more frequent. Two outer bands crossed our location during the morning commute w/ the heavier squalls & sustained rain taking place during the mid-afternoon/early evening. Wind gusts reported @ TIA reached 41 while some other communities exceeded 50. Flooding took place at the Bayshore area via south Tampa. Flood watches are also posted for Tuesday morning thru 5pm.

The sub-tropical ridge (1024mb/30.24") remains anchored about 1000 miles east of the FL/GA border. This is expected to move closer to our peninsula over the next few days offering a dominant easterly flow pinning the Gulf breeze close to the beaches. This has yielded storms west of the I-4/I-75 corridors over the past few days w/ a few crossing our area. In the meantime, record heat is also in place (95 today @ TIA). Temps @ 500mb remain quite cold for mid-July (-8 C). This has yielded a few strong/severe storms locally. More of the same expected for tomorrow. |

Sea breeze storms kicked off a bit faster than anticipated as the sub-tropical ridge's westernmost axis gradient firmed up during the early morning. This escorted the Atlantic breeze across our peninsula much quicker which fired off convection sooner. Some storms attained severe limits w/ over 200 CG strikes w/in a 30 minute time. There were at least 2 house fires caused by the strikes in addition to separate CGs striking at Clearwater Bch & Sand Key causing 2 injuries; 1 critically. Tomorrow's set up looks similar to today's w/ little change for our overall synoptic environment. |

Hurricane warnings/TS warnings posted for all of FL west coast from Englewood northward to Apalachiacola. A tornado watch #460 was issued w/ #461 replacing it from 11pm thru 8am tomorrow morning.

Relentless squalls from Hurricane Hermine crossed our locations during the early morning hrs triggering tremendous amts of rainfall tropical storm-force winds. One squall crossed our location @ 4:45am that was very frightening. Amazingly we did not lose pwr although the house shook w/ the wind's pulsation. Hermine made landfall last night near St. Marks, FL as a C-1 storm. Many areas along the FL western coast from Tampa northward were flooded, down trees & pwr lines, reported structure damage & there were a few reports of isolated tornadoes. Scattered pds of torrential rainfall associated w/ Hermine continued to train across our area. One for the history books. |

Hurricane Hermine is now moving thru the Carolinas. In spite of his being long gone, very deep moisture remains behind w/ a very deep SW/NE flow. Numerous tropical rainfall in trailing pools have crossed our location very quickly today. Our atmosphere will attempt to dry out as drier air tries move southward. Flooding remains a large issue for many communities north & west of here. |

TS Julia formed a few hrs ago off the coast of Jacksonville. Winds are sustained at 40 w/ most, if not all, heavy weather confined to her eastern semi-circle. On her western side, not much is taking place w/ winds mostly light & variable & only scattered showers/storms. Winds have shifted from the W/SW allowing quick-moving tropical-like showers to cross our location. More of the same is expected tomorrow. |

Scattered tropical-like showers crossed our location today although depending where you were specifically located highly depended on your total precip. Julia's winds continued to dominate our flow w/ a W/SW field keeping most activity confined to our interior. However, significant rain fell only 5 miles east of our location. Less steering flow will offer a better Gulf breeze tomorrow providing similar hit-&-miss activity w/ most taking place across our interior zones. |

Late sea breeze convection developed as the Gulf winds encountered the Atlantic's flow w/ most activity tracking eastward. The overall convective field was hostile w/ PWATs above 600mb btwn 1.30-1.50". In addition, sinking subsidence aloft provided CINH of -132 keeping most cells at bay for vertical updrafts. Similar set up is likely for tomorrow as the Autumn Equinox begins. |
