A summer-like scenario remains in place across the FL peninsula. A dominant E/NE breeze encountered the Gulf winds around the dinner hr w/ cells going vertical & having no problem breaking the cap at 910mb. Temps at the 500mb level showed -9 C adding another notch to our instability. Storms were strong tonight...& very slow movers. More of the same expected tomorrow as Hurricane Matthew (C-4) turns northward toward Haiti & eastern Cuba. |

PWATs increasing to 2+" as Matthew moves into the western Atlantic. The combination of daytime heating, increasing moisture & sea breeze circulations produced afternoon showers/storms. Matthew now a C-3 (major) hurricane w/ top winds at 115mph. His projected track continues to be due north keeping most of the FL peninsula out of the probability cone. Additionally, he is expected to strengthen as both SSTs & wind shear will become more conducive for intensification. |

Only scattered tropical-like rain showers occurred as Matthew's outer bands begin to cross into/across the FL peninsula. Matthew is now C-4 intensity & is the strongest hurricane in the western Atlantic since Wilma in 2004. Winds are sustained at 145 mph w/ higher gusts. Matthew has taken at least 108 souls in Haiti & Cuba w/ his eyes now on the Bahamas' chain. In addition, track projections continue to bring him closer to the FL east coast as ridging builds north of him. A watch maybe needed shortly for the FL Keys, Straits & our southeastern zones. |

After a series of dry frontal passages, this boundary that crossed our location today did provide some good rainfall...the first measurable rain for quite some time. The rain was heavy at times & tapered off slowly after 20 min or so. Much colder air is poised to advect into our area w/ the core of the cold air still several hundred miles to our N/NW. Temps will struggle to get out of the 50s on Friday w/ the coldest temps so far expected Saturday morning. |

A very active & historic day across most of west/central & north/central FL. Late last night the SPC elevated the threat for the outbreak of organized severe weather to Enhanced Risk for most of the above regions. A powerful closed-low (992mb) was expected to sweep thru the TN Valley producing a fast-moving cold front that was estimated to be 750 miles in length NE/SW & 40-50 miles in diameter. The air mass ahead of the advancing front was moderately unstable w/ ~CAPE values of 2000-2500 j/kG; dew pts from the upper-60s/low-70s; surface temps into the low-80s & a powerful LLJ approaching from the SW. Early this morning the SPC elevated that risk to Moderate; by mid-morning the Moderate Risk field expanded including a large region of northern FL. By late morning the SPC elevated to an historic High Risk for the entire north/central FL & south/central GA region; by early afternoon west/central FL was included in the High Risk threat. CAPE values exploded to 4000+ j/kG w/ a 55+kt LLJ to encounter a 130+ kt U/L jet. Wind damage was reported in across numerous locations near my location although no tornadoes were reported. Scattered pwr outages were reported, large tree limbs & roof damage was also reported. A Tornado Watch Box (#23)-PDS was posted at 3pm for our entire area. |

Winter Storm/Nor'easter Stella is currently a 1004mb/29.65" surface low morphing w/ 2 additional disturbances along the southeast coast. GFS global members show this system bombing out to a 985mb low as it approaches the mid-Atlantic states w/ her eye targeting the tri-state region & eventually New England. This storm will bring blizzard conditions to most of the NE w/ blizzard warnings issued for most of that area. Winds of 75+ mph, 12-24" snow accumulations & bitterly cold Arctic temps. The cold front associated w/ this will sweep thru Tuesday morning w/ a secondary cold boundary to follow shortly afterward. A Marginal Risk threat was posted for most of the day w/in the warm sector east of the advancing boundary. Pre-frontal rainfall w/ embedded thunderstorms crossed our location during the dinner hr occurred w/ some areas south of our location receiving severe weather. Temps will go from record heat to record cold over the next 48-60 hrs w/ a potential freeze north of our location. |

Broken line of moderate/strong convection crossed our location during the early morning hrs. This convection was part of a much larger & widespread severe weather outbreak across the southeastern US. The SPC shaded a small region of east/central & southeast GA in addition to a small area of southern/southwest SC under a High Risk threat for most of the afternoon. A large corridor of west/central FL was shaded Slight Risk. Storms moved thru very quickly w/ a few reaching severe limits south of here. The record heat & tropical moisture (PWATs of 1.80+" & dew pts ranging from the low/mid-70s) will quickly be replaced by a much colder & drier air mass (PWATs 0.40-0.50" & dew pts in the mid-40s). |

Finally after many weeks of no significant rain, a little more that 1/4" fell in lieu of an approaching cold front. The SPC measured enough instability & U/L support to issue a Marginal Risk threat across our northern zones. However, no reports of severe weather were rec'd. There were some areas to our east that rec'd 2+" which will surely help our drought situation. But much more will be needed. |

A tropical disturbance located across the NW Caribbean is expected to move into the Gulf sometime on Monday (19th) which the NHC is expecting Brett to be born. Most models take this feature W/NW away from west/central FL although PWATs btwn 2.30/2.50" will advect into our area. This suggests a heavy rain event is possible. |

Although the current environment over regions of the NW Caribbean are unfavorable for development, the atmosphere is expected to become more conducive over the next 48-72 hrs. Global models are struggling to get their arms around 93 due to the complex pattern across the southeastern US thou a general trend toward the W/NW is expected.

Invest 93-L is located over the western Atlantic near the SC/GA coast. This disturbance has an associated trough that reaches southward across west/central & SW FLA bringing flooding rainfall to regions south of Sarasota Cty. Since the early afternoon hr, bands of rainfall, some heavy, has advected northward w/ most of the west/central regions now on the receiving end. Flood watches have been issued for most of the area southward as bands of torrential rain continue to track from SW/NE. More heavy rain is expected tomorrow as the entire system pulls into the Atlantic. |

Deep trough associated w/ 92-L moved northward during the early morning hrs triggering long pds of torrential downpours & training of tropical rain bands. Flooding of roads & side streets were common across our region including our own street as ponding rain water rose to cover the lower-half of our driveway. This amt of rain was the most ever recorded going back many yrs. The trough slowly lifted out of our region after the dinner hr & is expected to be well north of our location tomorrow. A typical summer pattern will be returning to the region w/ afternoon/evening sea breeze thunderstorms. |

The combination of sea breeze collisions & deep tropical moisture in advance of Hurricane Irma produced potent thunderstorms late w/ torrential rainfall across our location tonight. Some street flooding was reported in/around our area. All eyes are on Irma as she continues to destroy islands across the Caribbean w/ the risks increasing of a FL landfall over southeastern FL/Miami. |

Rain bands from Hurricane Irma continued thru out the day & are continuing as of this discussion. Although there has been pds of pwr loss, we continue to have pwr in lieu of 70+ mph winds. I can't confirm this as of now but there looks to be serious street flooding occurring w/ standing water up to our driveway. Will have more info later tomorrow as Irma moves away. |

Our region returned to typical late summer afternoon sea breeze convection as the Gulf breeze encountered the Atlantic winds. Storm motion was nearly stationary w/ some producing 1-3" p/h. Drier air mass is expected to advect in/across our area at the U/L's in addition to our surface making for potential record heat this weekend. This will not make many of those happy as there continue to be many w/out pwr. |

Brief passing sea breeze generated shower w/ a few rolls of thunder as our sea breeze/rainy season rides off into the sunset for 2017. Drier air mass on the backside of Hurricane Maria will begin to filter down from the NE yielding hot & drier afternoons for the early work wk. |
