Tough Front

Friday night I forcasted a Saturday morning with the possibility of severe weather. Every reading, indication, and model run pointed to that. So I get up this morning with plenty of sunshine. Argghhh!

Checked the radar only to find the front moving as fast as a 92 year old grand mother. It is crawling in our direction. This means NO morning thunder but still a chance for some nasty weather until the front finally clears us.

When will that happen? Only mother nature knows!

Pain in the rear....

This cold front has been trouble to forecast since the beginning. One day its by Central Florida, the next near Lake Okeechobee, then it stalls, now its back just north of the Lake.

We've seen averything from showers, to sun, to record heat ahead of it.

Most models agree that eventually it will move South and bring our temps back to normal which will seem cooler by this week's standards.

Friday Night: Tons of rain sitting West of the Keys and Naples. The way the wind is blowing, most of that nasty stuff should move over Naples, Ft. Myers the Lake and Palm Beach county. They could even see a tornado. We could see some wayward showers and even a thunderstorm or two.

Saturday: Here comes the kicker. The front is expected to finally start moving south which means a good chance of rain for us, some of it could be heavy. Like that it is moving, but does it have to do so on SATURDAY!

Sunday: Models now hint at some cloudiness but drier and just a tad cooler.

Lets see if any of it pans out.

Weekend is here

Looking at some overnight showers/t-storms moving up the Keys and into Miami Dade and Broward that could linger through morning.

Then we watch a week front stalling over us. Will it bring us more clouds? Rain? Wind? Some models say yes and others no. I expect some cloudiness with isolated showers and maybe even a storm through Saturday.

By Sunday the front should dissipate and we just may get a tiny drop in temps.

(( By the way we should have our new web page up and running soon... thank you for your patience))

Thundiferous Thursday?

The tail end of a cold front should swing across South Florida on Thursday. It will slow down and stay awhile. This will mean a decent chance for rain and even a few strong storms.

By Saturday afternoon the front could clear the area and by Sunday our temps could be a tad, a hair, a smidget, cooler.

Undecided Models

As of Monday, most models were showing a cold front pushing some rain on Wednesday and then cooling us off for Friday with lows in the 50's.

Eeesscreechhh!! Halt! Stop! Brick Wall ! On Tuesday, the same models flipped flopped and now suggest the front will stall out somewhere over us during the next few days. Now we are looking at some showers or a possible t-storm for Thursday, Friday and maybe even on Saturday with minimal cooling.

Ahead of it however, we could see some very warm temps. Could be flirting with records on Wednesday.

Models! Sheesh!

Moon Halo

Monday night I received many calls regarding the ring around the moon. This is a Moon Halo. Basically the moonlight is reflected by tiny ice crystals in the upper atmosphere creating the ring around the moon. Doesn't happen too often but when it does its a beautiful sight.

Also:
Cold front moving by Pensacola. It should slowly track east over the next day or so keeping us in the warm side. Average high this time of year in 79, we will be above that through Thursday.

Expecting more rain to move in late Wednesday night and in through Thursday ahead of the front. Once it clears South Florida our temps should drop into the 50's by Friday morning.

Back to work and a celebration

Had a great Thanksgiving, hope you had one too. As I gear up again for this week's weather, seems like it will be on the warm side at least through the middle of the week. Then we can expect some changes in the form of heavy rain pockets and even some t-storms. This will be due to a slow moving cold front. If it doesn't slow down or speed up, we should then feel the cold weather for Friday and Saturday.

By the way pop open the champagne , Monday is the last day of hurricane season!
