Rain bands from Hurricane Michael began to overspread our region this morning & tracked across our region on & off during the day. Michael, now a high-end C-4, is located about 225 miles S/SW of Tampa & moving due north at 12. Current pressure is 948mb & should continue to fall as his intensification process continues w/ landfall to take place early tomorrow afternoon near Panama City. This is expected to be the most powerful hurricane to strike the Panhandle & will devastate the area. Sustained winds are currently 145mph w/ higher gusts. |

Line of moderate/heavy rainfall preceded a sharp cold front advancing from NW/SE tonight. Temps & dew pts w/in the warm sector continue to range from the mid-70s & upper-60s while temps/dew pts well behind the boundary are trending from the low/mid-40s & mid/upper-30s. The nose of the cold air advection remains several hundred miles away & will begin to be felt by the early afternoon hr tomorrow. Our first significant cool down of the yr so far. |

Pre-frontal line of showers/thunderstorms pushed thru our region w/ brief pds of heavy rain. A Marginal Risk of severe storms was shaded for a thin corridor of north/central & northeastern FL for the early afternoon but no reports of damage were rec'd. Behind the front, much colder air of Canadian origin will overspread our region for the next few days w/ a Freeze Watch posted across our extreme northern zones for early Wednesday morning. Quick return of moisture w/ a warming trend for late wk. |

Marginal Risk day shaded for west/central FL: a quasi-linear squall line w/ embedded Supercells crossed our location during the early morning hrs. A few Supercells produced confirmed tornadoes in NPR (EF-1) & Waumauma (EF-1). Very heavy rainfall occurred in addition to gusty downdraft winds as the storms crossed our location. This precip field was part of a large storm system/surface low crossing the Panhandle well ahead of its associated cold front a few hundred miles west of the large warm sector. Temps will trend down as the core of the cold air reaches us tomorrow. |

There were pds of heavy rain at times w/ blustery winds & cold temps. All-in-all a raw day by FL standards. Rain was still falling as of this entry. Cooler & drier air mass poised to settle in across the state over the next 24 hrs where another cold front is expected to push thru on 1/30.

The base of an U/L trough is currently crossing thru the Deep South w/ a mid-summer cold front pushing slowly into south GA. To our south, the sub-tropical gradient has been shunted across the Keys/Straits opening a W/SW corridor of tropical flow. Showers/thunderstorms w/ torrential rainfall will track from the eastern Gulf onshore over the next 72 hrs as the trough lifts out & front stalls & dissipates.
