Good afternoon. Work day is done early.
East coast seabreeze passed to my west and is on a collision course with the west coast seabreeze and outflow boundaries. Could be quite a bump in storm coverage/intensity to my west in the next hour or two then they slide east. Fingers crossed.

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Tampa Bay Ruskin FL
457 AM EDT Tue May 23 2017
.SHORT TERM (Today-Wednesday)...
Some upper shortwave energy will move over the area later
this afternoon and help to enhance thunderstorm activity for
this afternoon and evening across the area. Additional upper
energy moving through the base of the trough will pass over
the state for Wednesday and allow for some strong to
possibly severe storms. Damaging winds will be the main
hazard with the storms, but an isolated tornado cannot be
ruled out. Heavy rains with the storms will also be
possible.

Looks like Wednesday could be My storm day as that line of storms passes over tampa bay..lets watch and see how fast or slow it moves and I just hope no tornado's or real bad winds with it...and if Nam proves true, the line will come IN from the gulf here,being pushed eastward...have to watch out for any waterspouts coming ashore etc....interesting couple of days coming folks..heed your local warnings for your area and stay safe out there...sure would be great if it turns out to be a good rain event for those who really need the rain.

Morning All,
I had .08 in the bucket late last night. That gives me 2.06 for the month.
Looks like we could have some wild weather wed. night early thurs. morning.
Looking forward to the 2 to 3 inches of rain. Like Largo says NO TORNADOS!!!!!
Have a great day!

Good morning all. Just had a brief (and I mean brief) downpour at work in Cedar Key. Looking at the current radar I hope this activity builds in the Gulf because at the moment it looks like the energy is moving northward into AL and GA. Hopefully a nice large area of moderate rain hits the entire peninsula and rains all day and night.

Morning. Nothing to report here. The heavier rains are forecast from midnight into tomorrow night for my area.
Yesterday's storms did blow up along the seabreeze/outflow collision but just to my north by a few miles. A fairly widespread 1-2" fell. I had .04" which was just enough to temporarily wet the pavement.

Re: CLOSED 5/8/2017 Florida/Alabama Weather Blog
NWS Tampa....around 2 30pm.....(clipped).....At the present time guidance suggests rain chances will increase
significantly across the Nature Coast tonight, with the increasing
rain chances then spreading south to the Tampa Bay area toward
sunrise, and then across the remainder of the region during
Wednesday and Wednesday night. With regards to the severe threat it
now appears that the best chances for severe storms will be during
Wednesday afternoon and evening when a low level jet (45-50 knots)
and large scale forcing for ascent overspreads the region, however
some strong to severe storms will also be possible across the Nature
Coast tonight through Wednesday morning as the environment becomes
increasingly favorable for strong to severe storms. In addition to
the severe threat some locally heavy rainfall will be possible which
may produce some minor flooding of low lying and poor drainage
areas, as well as the ponding of water on roadways. Frequent deadly
lightning will also accompany the storms.

...A few storms possible northeastern areas of South Florida today...
...Strong to even severe storms possible late Wednesday into Thursday...
This hazardous weather outlook is for South Florida.
.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT
Thunderstorms: There is a slight chance of thunderstorms this
afternoon over the northeastern areas of South Florida.
The primary impacts will be lightning strikes and locally heavy
rainfall.
.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY
The rip current risk may increase for the Gulf Coast beaches ahead
of a cold front Wednesday.
The Storm Prediction Center has highlighted portions of South
Florida around Lake Okeechobee into Collier County in a Slight Risk
for severe thunderstorms Wednesday into Thursday, and the remainder
of South Florida in a Marginal Risk for severe thunderstorms as a
cold front approaches the region. At the present time, damaging winds
and hail looks to be the primary threats, although an isolated
tornado or two cannot be ruled out. Interests in South Florida should
continue to monitor the forecast closely.
Isolated to thunderstorms are again possible across the region,
especially during the afternoon and evening hours, Friday through
Sunday.

We shall see. NFL was supposed to see the brunt of it the day you had 3.55". I had .03". Mother nature is interesting. My personal goal for this system is 2.26" which would put me to 3" for this mini wet period.

Looking at the precip maps from the various models reminds me of measuring snow. Take 3 measurements at different locations then average them out. In this case, average the modeled rainfall.

Updated Day 1 Outlook...
SPC AC 231959
Day 1 Convective Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0259 PM CDT Tue May 23 2017
Valid 232000Z - 241200Z
...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR SOUTHEASTERN
GEORGIA AND THE SOUTH CAROLINA COASTAL PLAIN...
...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR MUCH OF THE
TEXAS COASTAL PLAIN INTO SOUTH-CENTRAL TEXAS...
...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM CENTRAL
TEXAS EASTWARD ALONG THE CENTRAL GULF COAST INTO COASTAL NORTH
CAROLINA...
...SUMMARY...
Isolated severe thunderstorms are possible over southeastern Georgia
and the South Carolina coastal plain through the early evening. A
few tornadoes are possible along with damaging gusts. Storms may
also impact parts of south-central Texas into Texas Gulf coastal
areas with a risk for severe wind and hail.
...Discussion...
The only substantial changes to the convective outlook include:
1) reducing severe probabilities across parts of AL-GA-SC to the
west and northwest of a cluster of strong to severe thunderstorms
this afternoon. A tornado or two will remain possible across the
coastal plain of SC and GA through the early evening within a
moist/sufficiently sheared environment.
2) Removing low-severe probabilities across parts of IL. Weak
instability and the lack of charge separation both indicate an
appreciable risk for marginally severe storms will be low enough to
not warrant a probability delineation.
..Smith.. 05/23/2017
.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1123 AM CDT Tue May 23 2017/
...Synopsis...
Large-scale mid/upper troughing now encompasses much of the interior
U.S. from the Rockies to the Appalachians, and its positively tilted
axis may take on at least a bit more of a neutral tilt while
pivoting from the Plains into the Mississippi Valley through the
remainder of the period. As it does, models indicate that an
embedded lower/mid tropospheric cyclone will continue to gradually
redevelop south southeastward from the upper into middle Mississippi
Valley, perhaps supporting some consolidation and deepening of
surface low pressure along an associated front near/north of the
lower Ohio Valley by 12Z Tuesday.
A preceding frontal zone has already reached much of the Gulf coast
into south Atlantic coast region, with the boundary currently
stalled to the lee of the southern Appalachians, ahead of a weak
frontal wave now evolving across southern Alabama. This wave
accompanies one significant impulse embedded within the broader
scale cyclonic mid/upper flow field, which is forecast to continue
migrating east northeast of the lower Mississippi Valley, through
the southern Appalachians and southern/mid Atlantic coast region by
12Z Tuesday.
Upstream, an additional significant perturbation or two appear
likely to dig southeast of the south central high Plains before
turning eastward across the western Gulf coast/lower Mississippi
Valley region. Associated with these features, a reinforcing cold
front is already in the process of surging into central and
southwest Texas, and is expected to advance through the lower Rio
Grande Valley and Texas Gulf coast by the end of the period.
Aided by destabilization beneath cold mid-level air, the environment
along and ahead of the reinforcing front, from parts of the Upper
Midwest into south Texas, probably will become conducive to
scattered thunderstorm development today into tonight. However,
seasonably high moisture content air near/south of the lead frontal
zone appears to provide the focus for the most numerous thunderstorm
activity, across parts of the south Atlantic and eastern Gulf coast
states into the northern Gulf of Mexico.
...Eastern Gulf into south Atlantic coast states...
Lower/mid tropospheric lapse rates appear generally weak, but a
seasonably moist environment (surface dew points near 70F)
along/south of the stalled weak frontal zone across the region is
expected to become at least modestly unstable with daytime heating.
Coupled with enlarging low-level hodographs, associated with a 40-50
kt southwesterly 850 mb jet evolving near the frontal wave, the
environment near the northeastward advancing frontal wave appears
conducive to strong/severe storms with a risk for tornadoes and
potentially damaging surface gusts. The primary threat area now
appears to be evolving across southwestern Georgia, and is expected
to shift east northeastward through portions of the piedmont and
coastal plain of South Carolina by this evening.
...South central Texas into Texas Gulf coastal areas...
Residual modest boundary layer moisture, coupled with steepening
lapse rates associated with pre-frontal surface heating beneath
relatively cold air aloft, probably will contribute to sufficient
instability to support a risk for strong/severe storm development
late this afternoon and evening. Deep layer shear will be strong
enough beneath 40-50+ kt (and strengthening) cyclonic northwesterly
500 mb flow. Aided by forcing for ascent associated with an initial
perturbation approaching the region, one or two organizing storm
clusters appears possible, generally focused near the initially slow
moving/stalled frontal zone across mid (and perhaps portions of
upper) Texas coastal areas by this evening.
...North central Illinois...
There are at least some indications in latest model guidance that an
area of enhanced forcing for ascent will become focused across the
region by late afternoon, ahead of the digging mid-level cold core.
Depending on the degree of insolation and destabilization that can
take place by late afternoon, it may not be out of the question that
the environment could become conducive of convection with at least
marginal severe weather potential.
SPC AC 231959
Day 1 Convective Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0259 PM CDT Tue May 23 2017
Valid 232000Z - 241200Z
...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR SOUTHEASTERN
GEORGIA AND THE SOUTH CAROLINA COASTAL PLAIN...
...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR MUCH OF THE
TEXAS COASTAL PLAIN INTO SOUTH-CENTRAL TEXAS...
...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM CENTRAL
TEXAS EASTWARD ALONG THE CENTRAL GULF COAST INTO COASTAL NORTH
CAROLINA...
...SUMMARY...
Isolated severe thunderstorms are possible over southeastern Georgia
and the South Carolina coastal plain through the early evening. A
few tornadoes are possible along with damaging gusts. Storms may
also impact parts of south-central Texas into Texas Gulf coastal
areas with a risk for severe wind and hail.
...Discussion...
The only substantial changes to the convective outlook include:
1) reducing severe probabilities across parts of AL-GA-SC to the
west and northwest of a cluster of strong to severe thunderstorms
this afternoon. A tornado or two will remain possible across the
coastal plain of SC and GA through the early evening within a
moist/sufficiently sheared environment.
2) Removing low-severe probabilities across parts of IL. Weak
instability and the lack of charge separation both indicate an
appreciable risk for marginally severe storms will be low enough to
not warrant a probability delineation.
..Smith.. 05/23/2017
.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1123 AM CDT Tue May 23 2017/
...Synopsis...
Large-scale mid/upper troughing now encompasses much of the interior
U.S. from the Rockies to the Appalachians, and its positively tilted
axis may take on at least a bit more of a neutral tilt while
pivoting from the Plains into the Mississippi Valley through the
remainder of the period. As it does, models indicate that an
embedded lower/mid tropospheric cyclone will continue to gradually
redevelop south southeastward from the upper into middle Mississippi
Valley, perhaps supporting some consolidation and deepening of
surface low pressure along an associated front near/north of the
lower Ohio Valley by 12Z Tuesday.
A preceding frontal zone has already reached much of the Gulf coast
into south Atlantic coast region, with the boundary currently
stalled to the lee of the southern Appalachians, ahead of a weak
frontal wave now evolving across southern Alabama. This wave
accompanies one significant impulse embedded within the broader
scale cyclonic mid/upper flow field, which is forecast to continue
migrating east northeast of the lower Mississippi Valley, through
the southern Appalachians and southern/mid Atlantic coast region by
12Z Tuesday.
Upstream, an additional significant perturbation or two appear
likely to dig southeast of the south central high Plains before
turning eastward across the western Gulf coast/lower Mississippi
Valley region. Associated with these features, a reinforcing cold
front is already in the process of surging into central and
southwest Texas, and is expected to advance through the lower Rio
Grande Valley and Texas Gulf coast by the end of the period.
Aided by destabilization beneath cold mid-level air, the environment
along and ahead of the reinforcing front, from parts of the Upper
Midwest into south Texas, probably will become conducive to
scattered thunderstorm development today into tonight. However,
seasonably high moisture content air near/south of the lead frontal
zone appears to provide the focus for the most numerous thunderstorm
activity, across parts of the south Atlantic and eastern Gulf coast
states into the northern Gulf of Mexico.
...Eastern Gulf into south Atlantic coast states...
Lower/mid tropospheric lapse rates appear generally weak, but a
seasonably moist environment (surface dew points near 70F)
along/south of the stalled weak frontal zone across the region is
expected to become at least modestly unstable with daytime heating.
Coupled with enlarging low-level hodographs, associated with a 40-50
kt southwesterly 850 mb jet evolving near the frontal wave, the
environment near the northeastward advancing frontal wave appears
conducive to strong/severe storms with a risk for tornadoes and
potentially damaging surface gusts. The primary threat area now
appears to be evolving across southwestern Georgia, and is expected
to shift east northeastward through portions of the piedmont and
coastal plain of South Carolina by this evening.
...South central Texas into Texas Gulf coastal areas...
Residual modest boundary layer moisture, coupled with steepening
lapse rates associated with pre-frontal surface heating beneath
relatively cold air aloft, probably will contribute to sufficient
instability to support a risk for strong/severe storm development
late this afternoon and evening. Deep layer shear will be strong
enough beneath 40-50+ kt (and strengthening) cyclonic northwesterly
500 mb flow. Aided by forcing for ascent associated with an initial
perturbation approaching the region, one or two organizing storm
clusters appears possible, generally focused near the initially slow
moving/stalled frontal zone across mid (and perhaps portions of
upper) Texas coastal areas by this evening.
...North central Illinois...
There are at least some indications in latest model guidance that an
area of enhanced forcing for ascent will become focused across the
region by late afternoon, ahead of the digging mid-level cold core.
Depending on the degree of insolation and destabilization that can
take place by late afternoon, it may not be out of the question that
the environment could become conducive of convection with at least
marginal severe weather potential.
