I caught an unexpected pop-up a bit after sundown. A quarter inch in the bucket. Luckily, no towering offshore clouds this morning, so I caught the full moon, drinking my first cup of Largo's coffee.

Good morning Largo and friends.

Yes, they are even mentioning the remnants of #4 on the radio. Guess we shall see.

ok good that your aware Billsfan,some are talking about maybe it can strengthen some before moving over southern florida,hopefully tho I hope it can give you some good rains there..good luck ok.

Lets all keep a good eye on the track of that new wave coming across the ATL..we have 8-9-10 days to watch it and myself I just have a bad feeling about it and Florida..hopefully it goes elsewhere huh,or at least it wont be that strong.

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Jacksonville FL
1006 AM EDT Mon Jul 10 2017

...Scattered to Numerous Storms expected Today with locally heavy
rainfall and gusty winds...

.UPDATE...
Updated current trends for PoPs and cloud cover - otherwise
forecast remains on track. Weak Ridge axis remains across the
area. Southwest steering flow bringing ample moisture (KJAX
morning sounding showing 2.06 in PWAT) should support scattered
to numerous showers and storms developing along the sea breeze
fronts late this morning and early this afternoon. Decent mid
level lapse rates supported by 500mb temps of -7C/-8C will
support storm mergers and some stronger storms between the I-95
and US 301 corridors as sea breezes come together. Storm motion
from SW to NE will slow to around 10 mph or so this afternoon. Max
Temps should top out around 90 degrees or so before onset of most
convection with heat indices in the 100-105 range. Storm motion
towards the NE will push storms back towards the coast late in the
day.

good luck with the storms today AUG!!

well around the 20-21st,it may get interesting around here..too soon to tell for sure yet but..

I'm waiting for the 2pm NHC updates...so I have 2 storms to watch LOL..one this week and possibly one late next week

I guess we all should watch this old TD04,hopefully not too strong huh............

everyone is waiting for the new 2p NHC updates.

TD4 has its Purple spot once again....................................

Let's hope TD4 takes a sharp right turn and stays away from FL and the gulf. It's too early for this stuff.

Believe it or not we have missed out on a lot of the rain. Folks to the NSE have all gotten decent to heavy showers lately. And there are fires still burning, mostly on the periphery of FL, really amazing.

yes indeed PT..some area's really Need rain.

oh oh...stay alert florida....man I hope it doesn't go to hurricane......

It sure does seem well organized...

a lot of storms up in northern florida alright.............................

PuppyToes wrote:It sure does seem well organized...

yes lets see how it is oh thurs/Friday,give it time to develop

yes looks like south florida and tampa bay area really need to keep an eye on 04.....

well 2pm NHC update doesn't even mention old 04..maybe they think it wont develop.

San some storms riding northward up the coast now..good luck with any rain there ok...

well 12Z GFS has a hurricane right off the coast,going northward so far anyway..

GFS has been all over the board with locations,it cannot be believed till an actual storm is 3-5 days away,but who knows,for many days now its been calling for a strong storm..we'll see what happens huh

Billsfan.................................................................

Geez, thanks for the updates Largo.. At least I guess thanks is the appropriate word. lol

We got s good storm that came through here. We got 1.25 inches of rain, but points south and north of me got around 3 inches.

LargoFL wrote:yes looks like south florida and tampa bay area really need to keep an eye on 04.....

that track would get quite of few of us!

Good afternoon. Looks like ex TD4 is a fighter

Storms are really firing up south of Tampa Bay. Maybe a few of you will get good rains.

Had a few storms around the area earlier but nothing in my backyard. My eyes turn Ocala way for possible action after 6pm.

Looking better.  The storm east of the bay has a Severe Thunderstorm Warning as of this post. Seems the storms are developing northward as they move off to the WNW/NW. San may be in the sweet spot (although she'll disagree, lol)

Those cells are moving quite swiftly but radar estimated rainfall shows a good swath of 1-2"

Lookin' good here. This should be a good chance for you, San.

oh oh JR, looks like we are in for it...distant thunder getting a bit closer now........

and that whole line of storms is heading our way JR...guess i'll shut this off...good night folks.

Looks like a slam dunk for many over that way. Storms are intensifying and expanding in coverage. Hope no last minute POOF which happens on occasion. You, St Pete, Largo, San all look in good shape.

Updating radar whereas the last one was static.

Looking good here too.  My phone just buzzed with a S-Tstorm Warning.

Of course Palatka is currently in the thick of it. They are rain magnets.

That's some nasty looking storms. Good luck everyone!

Seems like 75 is a magnet too!

This one looks impressive, and it's pulling in a hefty seabreeze for fuel.

Aug is under the gun as well. Good luck up there.

Thanks JR. The flow turns easterly for a few days which will push everything inland locally. I am looking forward to the potential.

San's local cam shows what is moving into your areas.

Looks to have lost a little punch here, but should be really good rains for the area. As StAug gets encircled.....

And congrats on your rains today, BillsFan. I'm sure they were a bit welcome, regardless of the day.

Homerun Derby tonight JR. I am going with Stanton. A safe pic but he's a stud and the hometown boy. Perhaps he presses? We shall see.

Morrison should be there.  

Decent storm here tonight.  .5 in the bucket.

A bit of a bummer! He's my hometown guy. Not a huge fan of the new format.
