Wow did the central Florida peninsula get hammered by widespread heavy
thunderstorms Wednesday evening.
Unseasonable heat, high moisture levels and cold air aloft with a couple of
shortwaves and vorticity maximums,
all came together for a rough night.
 
I measured 3.05" of rain here in west Plant City, with some areas seeing
4-6" of rainfall.
 
By the looks of satellite and radar images, the next El Nino'ish storm
system will arrive later this early
morning, making for another stormy day today.

At 6:25 pm we have and ongoing severe thunderstorm warning for southern and
eastern Hillsborough County. Guess
I should have kept my big mouth shut about thunderstorms today. See radar
image below.

We had some summer like thunderstorms around yesterday afternoon and more
are expected today.
 
Thunderstorm chances increase overnight and into the day Thursday the 24th,
as a couple of 500 mb shortwaves
in the stoked up El Nino'ish subtropical jet stream cross the northern
peninsula. Best rain chances will be
across the panhandle north and northern 1/3 of the peninsula. Friday the
25th may also be wet but drier then
Thursday the 24th.
 
It's snowing in Denver, CO with temps. in the low 20's, sounds good to me
and I wish I still lived there.
Speaking of cooler weather, if you believe the AVNx forecast model, high
temperatures in Tampa will stay below
70 deg. between 11/1-8 and below 60 deg. between 11/2-3. We can only hope,
as I'm headed out the door to finish
mowing my lawn shortly with the temp. at 86 deg. and the relative humidity
at 63%.

Take Care,
