Good morning. Had a nice weekend with family. Weather wise it was pretty normal until we got home last night. Only had .75 in the rain gauge then a band set up over us and dumped 1.5" in about 30 minutes. The water ponded up pretty good due to the saturated ground, but slowly receded overnight. With the 6" of rainfall I have had in the last week or so my pond is way up into the yard again. I had it pumped down the weekend before last, but that much rain and it is over full. again If the rains stop for a bit later this week then I will lower the level. Hopefully we don't get a tropical system before then or it is gonna be boat time.

This has been some stretch of rainy days. I am going on 12 days of at least a trace of rainfall, the longest stretch of the summer. Fortunately I had 2 back to back days of only a trace last week, but could use some more days like that. Unfortunately the lowest pop for the week is tomorrow at 40%. From there until next week it ramps back up to 60% daily. Sure would be nice to have a bit more normal weather for a bit.

Morning All,
Quite interesting yesterday weather wise. I had a very brief heavy rain a little wind and a few slaps of thunder. Took out my power from 2:35 pm till 10:34 last night. A tree fell in to the sub station. Crazy!!!!!
I have in the bucket for the month .90 so far. Ended August with 8.71 in the bucket. The ground is getting so wet trees are coming down with just a little bit of wind. Be careful!!!!
Have a great day
John Z-hills

by LargoFL Tue Sep 04, 2018 10:54 am

wow John glad you got the power back on..no rain by me yesterday

by LargoFL Tue Sep 04, 2018 10:55 am

good morning WD!!

by LargoFL Tue Sep 04, 2018 10:55 am

by LargoFL Tue Sep 04, 2018 1:50 pm

by LargoFL Tue Sep 04, 2018 1:57 pm

by gomexwx Tue Sep 04, 2018 2:05 pm

Will do, I will try to get some images until I lose power

by sangria Tue Sep 04, 2018 2:27 pm

Hey WD.... You are in the sweet spot for precip,that's for sure!

Good to see you John, that sucks being without power all evening - at least the temp was decent. :-)

Gomey!!!!! I would almost lay a buck down that Gordo comes it on your east side!

by gomexwx Tue Sep 04, 2018 3:13 pm

You may be right,he is moving NW now around 315 with a wobble....I think he likes Mobile Bay..

by gomexwx Tue Sep 04, 2018 3:15 pm

If he track across Mobile Bay, I will get to punch him in the eye!

by BillsfaninSoFla Tue Sep 04, 2018 3:56 pm

Good luck Gomey!

by StPeteFLwx Tue Sep 04, 2018 4:21 pm

Saw this while walking the dog last night. Don't know if it was from the wind, or just and old oak. Probably a little of both, but the car is totaled.

Wow St Pete!

by BillsfaninSoFla Tue Sep 04, 2018 4:43 pm

Looks like the COC has pushed off a bit. Mobile should bear the brunt?!

by sangria Tue Sep 04, 2018 4:57 pm

by BillsfaninSoFla Tue Sep 04, 2018 5:02 pm

Or not!

by sangria Tue Sep 04, 2018 5:13 pm

I think it is really hard to tell where the COC is on radar. You can't tell if the convection is all shoved east or if it is going in between Mobile and Pensacola. Need to find a good vis loop now

by BillsfaninSoFla Tue Sep 04, 2018 5:25 pm

Yep!

Now to watch the Atlantic again!

by JRnOldsmar Tue Sep 04, 2018 9:51 pm

Well we did have a tree snap in my parents backyard. Snapped over at about 12' up. Landed between the shed and back patio -- no damage. It is all out to the road for pickup today.

by JRnOldsmar Tue Sep 04, 2018 10:00 pm

Hey WD. I did make it thru Cedar Key this trip. Toured many of the streets, Museum, Cemetery, dock (quite the weather station there). Steamers: Fried clams, perfectly fried; Crab cake, excellent. Good beer and barkeep. Glad I took the detour.

by BillsfaninSoFla Tue Sep 04, 2018 11:18 pm

Wow JR! Lucky no damage! You’re quite the traveler.
