CLOSED Florida/Alabama weather and Tropical weather affecting our states

Good Saturday Morning folks!..seem like it will be another day like yesterday, alot of scattered showers around..well we need the rain huh...have a great day folks!

Morning, no rain here yesterday but .91 on Wednesday and .29 on Thursday. 8.07" for the month. No complaints from me.

I can't believe tomorrow is already July.

Waterdipper - here's the SPC storm reports from a couple of days ago.  Play a game of "find the MCS" you were tracking, lol.  A "ring of fire" of sorts riding atop and along the eastern periphery of the ridge in the central states. Originated in eastern Nebraska moving east then grew in size/intensity as it turned to the SSE from the MO/IL border then eventually landing in northern FL before decaying.

You too Largo and good luck on getting some liquid gold. If only liquid gold had as much value as real gold!

Thanks for the tornado report, Aug. I didn't hear about it, but I haven't been able to pay a lot of attention to the weather for a couple of weeks.

Looks like Largo may have gotten a good shower that's heading my way .

It's looking like this week, plus today is salvaging June rains, which were just enough to keep the sprinklers off. 4"+ with half of that this week. Today's is looking like a mostly wet day.

Morning Largo and all. Looks like you have some rain sneaking up from the south. Nothing heavy at the moment.

.77" here yesterday. Ended June with 8.84" which is a tad over 2" above average. A good month!

Morning everyone...............Largo, Pinellas definitely is sitting in a better spot than Pasco this weekend - looks like another shot for you this morning.

I ended up with a measly .08" for yesterday but, like Bills, at least the cloud cover kept temps decent! I'm not sure what my June average is but I would lay $$$ that I was well below it this year. My monthly total ended up at 2.24"

...Scattered to Numerous Thunderstorms Today...
...Localized Flooding of Urban Areas and Roadways Possible...
...Heat Index Values Near or Above 105 Degrees Collier County...

This hazardous weather outlook is for South Florida.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT

Lightning: Scattered thunderstorms through mid-afternoon along the
east coast metro areas will shift to the interior and Gulf coast
later this afternoon through early evening. Main concerns are
occasional to frequent lightning strikes.

Flooding: Ponding of water on roadways will be possible due to slow
movement of storms or storms moving across the same area.

Temperature: Peak heat index values near or above 105 degrees are
expected by afternoon before storms develop over communities along
and east of I-75 in Collier County as well as the Big Cypress
Preserve and Everglades regions. Children and the elderly are
particularly vulnerable to these temperatures. Drink plenty of fluids
if outside and avoid prolonged exposure to the sun.

Wind: gusty winds over 40 mph are possible with a few of the stronger
storms over the interior of the peninsula this afternoon.

Hail: small hail is possible with a few of the stronger
storms over the interior of the peninsula this afternoon.

Waterspouts: Isolated waterspouts are possible today across Lake
Okeechobee due to storm boundaries and lake interactions. This can
toss around boats. Boaters should be on the look out for this and
lightning activity if venturing into the lake today with any storms
that develop.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY

Scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms are expected each
day, mainly during the afternoon and evening hours. The highest
coverage is generally expected over interior South Florida. Cloud-
to-ground lightning is the primary threat.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Widespread spotter activation is not needed.

Miami website at www.weather.gov/miami.

Just got about 45 minutes of decent rain! Probably at least 1/2 inch. Will check when I go out. And clouds

Ok so hubby said he just dumped 4.5 inches. He said it rained hard overnight, I didn't hear it, I usually don't.
It's still raining, but the sun is coming out also. Humid!

thats good news billsfan, whatever showers do happen today they sure come down hard and fast dumping a half inch in mere minutes here lol

in looking at the state's florida radar, it sure seems like Jenny's area up close to the big bend might get some flood warnings soon..

we went to this a few years ago, had alot of fun there..im sure your town-cities will have them also huh....................Largo 4th of July Celebration
Wednesday, July 4
Largo Central Park
Enjoy great food, live entertainment and activities for all ages, followed by a spectacular fireworks show starting at 9:15 p.m.
Don't forget the pie eating contest or try you luck at the watermelon seed spitting contest. The event is kicks off at 6 p.m. Admission to the event is free.
Address: 101 3rd St SE Largo, FL 33771

Dang bills, 4.5" is a bunch!

Largo - do you participate in any of the events? i'm the type to just observe.

That sounds like fun Largo! Most communities that I know of usually only have fireworks instead of a fun event leading up to the end of night fireworks!

That does sound like fun. Let's see-pie eating or watermelon seed spitting contest Largo???

Reminds me,the annual hot dog eating contest is Wednesday. Yuck! I cannot watch that, I get queasy watching them.

How's the holiday in middle of week affecting everyone's jobs?
