CLOSED Florida/Alabama Fall Season weather

waterdipper wrote:Gorgeous weekend temperature wise. Nice to be outdoors. Way too dry however. I mowed over the weekend and inhaled way too much dust. I normally don't have to mow this time of year, but my mower went down at the end of the summer and I hadn't gotten around to mowing since I got a new one. Still have a bit to finish, but then it won't be until April time frame when it will need it again.

hiya WD...yes way too dry but nice temps here too..got a good day of on-off all day long sprinkles..my grass has just about stopped growing now too.

wow what a beautiful day it is here today..did my long walk then walked the dogs in the park..feels wonderful outside..just gotta Love fall in Florida huh!!

I hope this really helps on the research..........................."Bill Gates gives $50 million to combat Alzheimer's''..in my lifetime, ive known quite a few elders coming down with this horrible thing...im guessing you folks have also huh?

I had an aunt pass away from Alzheimers and my ex mother-in-law has it now.

This is where the cynic in me rears its' ugly head. I wonder how much of that 50 mil will actually be used towards research and not stuffing someone's pockets. I also feel many diseases should be curable in this day and age but folks in the medical/pharmacy industry would have less $$ coming in.

My dad was a heavy smoker for 40 years and quit 20 years ago. He has COPD and is slowly suffocating to death. Doctors can't seem to give him comfort but the medical and prescription bills keep on keeping on.

I'm sorry to hear that Aug..i too smoked for 50 years and have emp and copd but..so far other thaen the coughing etc I'm doing ok..I'm on the patch about a month now and so far I'm doing good..and for 68 I guess I'm doing ok so far..no heart or other problems but diabetes2 which doesn't bother me at all so far...many of the folks I grew up with are either gone already or in really bad shape..im so glad I worked in hard physical jobs, some were 15-16 hour days boom-boom boom..hurry up kind of jobs...doc was amazed when I did the heart stress check up and all the others....guess its saved me so far....

sad thing..when I was a teen..in those days if you didn't smoke you weren't man enough..all my so called friends laughed..so I started..and inside I hate them for having me do that..remember the "Marlboro man" ads on tv..everything pushed ou towards smoking back then...real glad I didn't pick up the drinking habit..never really liked the taste which saved me from that lol..a beer every now and then suits me just fine....so I guess all in all I did good through my lifetime..now lets see how long I can last lol..this retirement is really doing me good too..i love it.

Billsfan sort of keep an eye on this LOW heading to the Bahama's..might get closer ok.....

I guess in November everything in the Caribbean sort of heads northeastward towards the Bahama's or thru the straights..but all of them need to be watched huh.

looks like it covers some territory down there huh..might give southeast florida some rain..

most often they DO head northeast out into the atlantic in November............

well that's it for me folks,going to take my wife out to dinner in awhile...have a good night and stay safe out there ok.

Thanks for sharing stories. Alzheimer's and dementia are sad diseases. I know very controversial, but I for one would not want to live like that or put my children/hubby through it. It's really sad I think there are cures but big Pharma, insurance doesn't want it to be.

And Largo, hope that mess doesn't get up to BOC or Yucatan or it will have our name on it. Thanks as always for updates.

well possible sub-tropical development .....................................................

Good Tuesday Morning folks!...nothing much weather wise going on here on the gulf coast,might be some showers on the FL east coast especially SE coastline as that LOW moves to the Bahama's and out to sea...have a wonderful day everyone!

on a health note..i saw on CNN that the new high blood pressure measurement is now 130/80...the article said that with those numbers now about Half..of all americans now have high Blood pressure.

well for us on the gulf coast..perhaps 5 dry days ahead for us.........................

LargoFL wrote:well for us on the gulf coast..perhaps 5 dry days ahead for us.........................

Probably longer than 5 days Largo as I am currently on 18 days since my last measurable rainfall and 44 days since I have had a rainfall that measured >0.25". This is really looking like it is going to be a really long dry spell.

I suspect much of the high BP these days is due to general obesity and lack of exercise. I have high BP myself though and am 6', 190lbs. I "thank" my mom for the "good" hand-me-down genes.

Looking dry for sure WD. I'm sitting at .09" the past 21 days but the first half of October was pretty good up this way leaving me a touch above average for the month.

Good Wednesday Morning folks!!..cooler outside this early morning but feels great..it seems high temp around tampa bay will only reach 77 or so..more like Fall temps now huh...well no rain or storms in sight,good working outside weather for sure...well have a great day everyone

this isn't the Seminole area by me..this is a different neighborhood over in Tampa ok...........................TAMPA -- 
A day after a fourth person was shot and killed in the Seminole Heights area in the last month, Tampa police are trying to calm neighborhood fears while tracking down a killer. 
Massive police presence remains in Seminole Heights
Fourth person found shot dead Tuesday morning
FBI, FDLE and Hillsborough Sheriff's Office assisting in case
Tuesday in Seminole Heights: Police, neighborhood on alert

Good morning. A chilly and breezy morning here. At 7 AM it was 44 with a 10 mph breeze making it feel even colder. The sun however is still strong this time of year and we are already up to 63 and headed into the low 70's. Just about perfect. Tonight we are headed back down to the mid 40's. Love the temps this time of year.

Its all taking place on the east side of 275. Hillsbourgh south.
The last one was killed a point blank. walked up behind the guy and put 3 shots into him. There were other people there but could not really see him because it was dark.
This is about 5 miles from where I work. Stay safe out there and travel in groups or pairs.

Thanks for concern. I'm always watching my back, sides and front. My past keeps me alert all the time. Gots to go to work to make the money. we are always on full lock down at the plant.
Thanks Again

ok John..i just saw crime stoppers upped the reward for turning this guy in to $91,000...hope someone collects real soon and this nutjob is stopped.

well another cold front comes downstate sunday/Monday......................................

Largo. I agree, I wish Matt was part of our group also. And miss Ed and Jenny too. And others, just not thinking of their names right now.

Largo. What was that John said about something in the SW Caribbean. Have you seen it?

Good afternoon. It'd be nice if they can catch the nutjob sooner rather than later. With the holidays approaching I wonder if he'll go into hiding or use as a conduit to killing more.

It was almost "cold" here today. 63 degrees and cloudy. I had to close the slider after a few hours.

It's getting really breezy down here.

Good Thursday Morning folks!...well this time next week i'll begin to smell Turkey cooking lol...cool here this early morning..about 58 or so..feels wonderful!! no humidity etc too..well no weather to worry about for us today.......................have a wonderful day everyone!!!

Good morning. Another cool start here with 42 degrees. No wind like yesterday, but the humidity is up as there was some patches of ground fog earlier this am making it feel cold and damp. Looks like several more days of nice weather on tap. We do finally get a chance of some rain with the frontal passage on Sunday, but it only looks like around 30%. Early next week lows will be in the upper 30s and highs near 70. Turkey day forecast looks awesome.

.NOW...

...Showers will approach the Treasure Coast through early
afternoon...

Scattered showers over the near shore Atlantic will continue to move
south-southwest at about 15 MPH. Some of this activity will push
onshore near Saint Lucie Inlet and Hobe Sound through late morning...
and possibly farther north between Saint Lucie and Sebastian Inlets
toward early afternoon. Isolated brief...heavy downpours may produce
one quarter to one half of an inch of rain in a few locations.

Gusty northerly winds will continue to create poor to hazardous
winds and seas for boaters and beach goers once again today. A Small
Craft Advisory remains in effect for much of the local Atlantic
waters...and a Beach Hazards Statement is also in effect for rough
surf...a southward flowing longshore current...and dangerous Rip
Currents...especially near piers and jetties.
