CLOSED 8-13-17 FLORIDA/ALABAMA WEATHER

remember its early and all of these models are just guess work..still a longggggg way off and we'll have a week or more to watch this storm...im hoping it does a recurve

and for the folks waiting and hoping to view the Eclipse........................................

and folks..they are warning about Fake sun glasses,buy good ones....

well in most of the real weather sites,in their discussions..it seems all the model's arent handling 91L very well..either track or intensity wise....run to run they are all different,so we need to wait until it DOES get its act together and actually Form a storm, then maybe we'll see some better results..remembering its still 9-10 days away from getting close to us....and for myself..in the few weeks to come IM paying close attention to the one coming Behind 91L..as when it gets close..it will be almost at the peak of season and that's around sept 10th or that week anyway....more than enough time for us to get ready, just in case huh...and who knows..91L may NOT form huh..or change track and head north and away from the states like 99L is doing today...fingers crossed lol

I also appreciate being able to pop in real quick and see your updates Largo. I am so busy at work that I don't have to time to look at anything else during the day.

well no rain by my house today..and feels like temps a bit earlier was at 104 degree's whew..that sunshine is sure toasty lol...well good night folks..you folks can keep the blog alive thru the evening hours...oh...IF anyone is around tonight..please post the 18Z info on 91L ok...thanks..my wife is saying shut that thing off and get in here..dinner is ready LMAO....nite folks

and vote #3 for you to keep posting at will, Largo. We're all popping in now and then, and know where to get the latest wire. Much appreciated, buddy.

Same here so cast a #4 vote. Been busy with a high profile project with many senior executives eyeballing for the installation of some of my companies ATM's at the new Atlanta Falcons Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

Had a 2 minute shower (rain shower that is) earlier with .05" in the gauge. The nickel/dime August marches on.

NWS Tampa......Tue Aug 15 2017

This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for West Central And Southwest
Florida.

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight.

...THUNDERSTORM IMPACT...
Storms over the Gulf during the morning hours will shift onshore
by midday. Higher chances for storms will move further inland with
time during the afternoon and early evening hours. Any storms
will be capable of gusty winds, heavy rainfall, and frequent
lightning...however no organized severe weather is expected.

Good Tuesday Morning folks...well the overnight GFS model takes a hurricane into eastern florida on the 26th..Euro goes under the islands and Cuba etc...we still cannot trust ANY of the model runs..wayyy too early yet..every day they are changing both in track and strength...just stay alert until they know for sure,quite possibly 1-2 days out ok...........well I have to go get my cars airbags replaced this early morning..seems they could explode and send out pieces of metal at you..defective they are....I'll be back later today.............well Blogs COFFEE is set to perk for when you get here..enjoy...have a great day everyone...and thanks a lot.

Let's make the Weather Great Again. I cast vote #5 that Largo posts whenever he wants!

Had a nice little shower this AM as I was heading out for work. Probably got between .10 and .25. There are more popcorn variety storms moving onshore currently, but none seem too strong due to the amount of dry air in the upper layers keeping them low capped.

I never get TOO MUCH of things about the sky...Keep posting,after the eclipse my weather thoughts will return and I will get back to tracking weather and storms. I have used your post as a brief during these busy times before the eclipse.

thanks!

thanks folks..sometimes I feel like I'm flooding the blog..but if its ok with you all i'll keep posting,thanks again.

somehow..i hope this track verifies..no way do I want this storm in Florida huh....

well so far,it seems like we lucked out with 91L..but still many days yet for tracks to change, and there's possibly 2 more storms behind it,season is getting active now.

yeah most models keep it below the islands and away from florida..and a lot of them bring it up to cat-2 or 3 whew...we don't need that around here for sure

Now..this one behind 91L we'll have to keep a good eye on in about 10 days time......

it looks like so far these fronts coming across the country are timed right to keep the systems away from florida..hope that continues huh

OK FOLKS..we now have invest 92 behind 91L..and we cant believe any models just yet but..

well for right now..there ARE some showers around in some area's..none by me again....

ok thanks Billsfan

gee I guess we really do need to stay alert and watch this 92L very closely..........

there's still a lot of time yet for tracks to change, i'll try to keep track of it over the coming days

there IS a good chance 92 will take the track of Gert and recurve out to sea, hopefully that will happen.

CMC Model...just one model among several they use...stay alert next week or so......

folks remember, its only one model but I guess I need to stay alert also LOL.........

well lets see what happens and what models are saying in about 6-7 days time,still too early to believe any models just yet.

well the feels like temps by me.. are now at 107 whew..

I've got 93/115 according to the closest weather station to me. But who knows how accurate it is. Really doesn't matter, it's just PLAIN HOT. But at least there is light at the end of the tunnel with this heat easing up in roughly two months.

LargoFL wrote:CMC Model...just one model among several they use...stay alert next week or so......

no thanks lol

yes Billsfan..its only one model and 8-9 days out,i'll keep watching it ok............

so it looks like..a very strong TS with some possible hurricane force winds and..it travels up the middle of the state and goes into the panhandle......lets wait till its 3-4 days out and see IF more models join in with this track..so far its only this one but..some of the ensemble models today do head it towards florida...we'll watch this closely..in the worst case.. we all will have several days to prepare and it wont surprise us ok.

see the ensembles have it coming this way,we'll see how this plays out over time...........

well you folks should be on the way home..guess i'll say good night...not a drop of rain here by me today..hopefully this changes in the days ahead..nite folks!

I just checked this evenings models..but who knows 5-6 days down the road huh..........

Good Wednesday Morning Folks! ..not much weather wise going on for us today, typical August weather huh..Hot-Humid with the normal chances for showers in the afternoon etc...well Blogs Coffee is perking for when you get here..enjoy...have a great day everyone!

well tropics wise only storm I'm keeping a close eye on is 92L,one good thing last nights run put 92L thru the florida straights into the gulf instead of..south florida then up the state...so still 8-9 days yet to see what the final route will be..too soon yet for anything to verify,lets see what the models say around this coming sunday.

interesting..about the eclipse from baynews9...........(clipped)..............If you miss this one, the next total solar eclipse to pass over the continental U.S. will be on April 8, 2024. That’s just seven years away but it will not be over Florida.
However, on Aug. 12, 2045, you won’t have to travel anywhere to see a total solar eclipse. It will go directly over our state.

I will be stone cold dead by 2045
That's why I am traveling to see this one....I missed the one in the 70's

As will I, Gomey.  I am planning on the next one as well.  I'll be somewhere between San Antonio and N of DFW (or Buffalo NY, or Youngstown, OH.  Plenty of family around to leverage.

I'm heading to Jax on Friday, to pick up my nephew and little-sis's doggy, then on to Summerville SC (big sis's place) on Saturday.  Little sis will have the parents, so we have an almost full family gathering.

I certainly will not have the equipment that Gomey has, but I've got the filters (level 12 shade) and hope to catch a full video and a multitude of camera shots.  The best I've got is 300mm on the SLR.

I caught the 1970 eclipse, as a 9-year old Navy brat in Norfolk.  I hope to get a 3-fer, of this 'once in a lifetime event'.
