Don't be getting greedy now Largo, lol. I thought you had good rain two days in a row with one day of dry.

No worries here. It's over land and won't develop (if it does) until it hits the water. Then up and out it goes. I just hope to get a shower or two.

Been getting on and off brief downpours most of day.  I've concluded my cats are weird.  They go outside and sit on porch and watch it rain.  

Finally getting a break in the rain. Hopefully this will allow for some floodwater recession before the next round.

...until you get a big boomer!?!?!?

So, if humans do the same, are they weird as well???... Uh oh....

Good news on the weekend rains.

1 nice .1 shower here.

LOL JR. I like to watch it rain too. It's just not something that I'd think cats would like to do.

yeah san it must be horrible over there,damaged from winds and now excessive flooding and MORE heavy rains thru this coming week till Harvey decides to move on..i sure hope some of those models were wrong about it moving back into the gulf and reforming gee..those poor people over there.

well it raining good here now and booming thunder...local met just said around here a possible 3-6 inches is possible today....stay alert and safe out there folks.

wow Florida this morning............................................................

Watching the local Fox station and they are showing Manatee county damage from the storms last night. No confirmation, but there may have been a tornado.  They also said up to 10" dropped in some areas there.  Damn!

Yeah, Ossqss (former WU poster) lives in the Bradenton area and reported over 10" of rain in 4 hours yesterday. I was looking at radar at the time and the storms were basically stalled over Manatee and northern Sarasota counties. Crazy totals! Latest HRRR showed possible 10" a little further south today near SWFLWX's location. I'll dig up the map in a minute.

Had .46" here with most of it falling after midnight.

92L currently located near Palatka.

These totals are since Friday. SWFLWX needs the valve shut off but doesn't look good in the near term.

Narrow band of precip developing nearby. Looks like it'll pivot north and possibly increase in coverage as it moves inland. Time to knock out some chores...

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Tampa Bay Ruskin FL
911 AM EDT Sun Aug 27 2017

.UPDATE...
An area of low pressure was located near the mouth of the
Tampa Bay early this morning with a trough axis extending
northeast across the north-central peninsula. Deep tropical
moisture via 12Z raob data (PW of 2.35 inches) combined with
a low level confluent southwesterly flow and divergent flow
aloft along with some upper level vort maxes will support
efficient rain making process across the forecast area the
remainder of today with periods of widespread heavy rain
possible. Rather warm mid level temperatures (-4 to -5C at
500MB) will again keep overall thunderstorm coverage on the
low side and will keep wording in the isolated range. Given
the very heavy rainfall amounts observed during the last few
days, and ongoing flooding problems across portions of the
region will maintain a flood watch for Manatee, Sarasota,
Charlotte, and Lee counties through tonight where the
heaviest rainfall has occurred.

Given current radar trends will bump up pops into the
categorical range for the central and southern forecast
area in a mid morning update and will keep heavy rain
wording in place. Considerable cloud cover and high rain
chances will likely lead to lower afternoon temperatures
so will lower max temps slightly in the update as well.

I still think, had Harvey Not come into the gulf..92 may have developed in the gulf and gave us here some kind of tropical system that would cross over the state...thank goodness it didn't because like Harvey over in texas..92 would be hanging around us for days too just like it has been...Florida lucked out this time.

news just said over 250,000 electric customers in texas still without power,i guess when they warn us, to include at least 7 days dry food supplies in our hurricane supplies,along with a way to cook it and plenty of fresh water9bottled etc they aren't kidding..sometimes these tropical systems can linger over an area for days and days..and if you aren't prepared..well we can guess what will happen huh.

GFS now showing a Big hurricane..going into new England around the 9th of September..

this next storm coming across we really need to watch, just in case it does not take the turn northward or..run up our east coast then north..still many days away and tracks change almost daily huh

and in September more tracks head to and over Florida, peak of season is the 10th I believe..

Euro now has it a Hurricane earlier than yesterdays run....watch this one closely..hope it turns north..

yeah CMC has it also approaching TS strength around sept 6th..................................

2. A tropical wave over western Africa is forecast to emerge over the
far eastern Atlantic Ocean tonight or early Monday. Environmental
conditions appear to be conducive for slow development by the middle
of next week while the wave moves westward about 15 to 20 mph.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...low...20 percent.

Forecaster Roberts

Hundreds of water rescues were underway in Houston early Sunday, officials said, as torrential rain from deadly Hurricane Harvey caused “catastrophic flooding” in the city and across southeast Texas, the National Hurricane Center said.
“This is a life-threatening situation,” said Michael Palmer, lead meteorologist at the Weather Channel.

gee what a horrible situation over in Texas huh,and with all serious flooding,in the aftermath..there's always the chance of diseases too..i hope the Feds send in a lot of relief when this eases up whew.

Nam Tuesday has 92 affecting the outer Carolina's........................................

whew some area's of SW Florida could see another 5-8 inches of rain next 48 hours.....

Just Horrible over there...................................
