Go figure…

12/2/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M After gusty winds and an overnight low of 43° at my South Tampa location today that felt more like 32°, it was obvious this was something that snuck up on even the professional meteorologists and climatologists.

12/7/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M After a chilly overnight low of 38°, daybreak brought little relief, as the wind blown cold air continued to hold the “feels like” temperature at what it was all night long, and a very brief daytime high of 54° barely made a difference.

12/8/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M After a very chilling overnight low of 36°, daybreak brought clear skies and calmer air, with a daytime high of 58° at my South Tampa location. Regardless of the forecasted brief reprieve of just two days late this week; something’s out of kilter up there.

12/12/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M After a very cool overnight low of 47° at my South Tampa location today, daybreak brought clear sunny skies and swift warming…until dark clouds and rainfall turned a brief nice morning into what all the TV talking heads have been crowing about all week long.

1/11/2011 7:00 AM T M M M M After a cold overnight low of 51°, daybreak brought nothing near what today’s forecast called for by the local meteorologists, as cold air, overcast dark skies, and a total lack of sunshine dominated the day, as the temperature never came close to warming, then it began to tumble during the early afternoon at my South Tampa location.

Now the meteorologists are suddenly changing what had first been a wonderful weekend forecast for something much less appealing. At the time of this “now” report at 4:50 PM EST; a dreary overcast day continues. So what’s going on out there?
1/16/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M After a cool overnight low of 49°, daybreak brought sun and clouds, calm air, and slow warming, with often uncertainty if the clouds would give way for more sunshine.

At the time of this “now” report at 4:45 PM EST; the temperature is slowly falling, with only a brief hint of sunshine a few minutes ago, as overcast and winter-like weather begins to return.
1/22/2011 7:00 AM 0.09 M M M M It's cold, it's windy, it feels at least 15 degrees colder than the actual temperature as the mercury plunges, and it looks like the next 7 days, maybe more, will be much the same....as the local meteorologists scramble to adjust their forecasts hourly. So much for that “light jacket” forecast of just last night.

1/24/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M After a chilly overnight low of 45°, daybreak brought a mixture of uncertain weather, with brief sunshine surrendering to overcast skies.

1/29/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M After another chilly overnight low of 44°, daybreak brought clear blue skies, calm air, and almost instant warming, with the temperature surging to what would be the daytime high of 71° right after noontime, lasting all afternoon, at my South Tampa location today. To say that today exceeded expectations, it did!
1/30/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M After another chilly overnight low of 44°, daybreak didn’t bring what should have been at least a copy of yesterday, as fog and thin high clouds stymied quick warming today, followed with thin high clouds throughout the afternoon, with an eventual brief daytime high of 72° at my South Tampa location.

1/31/2011 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M After a night when the temperature finally stayed above 50 degrees, daylight brought a mixture of sun, clouds, and slow warming…until noontime when the sky turned blue and the temperature suddenly surged to a daytime high of 76°, lasting all afternoon long, thank God.

2/8/2011 7:00 AM 0.38 M M M M After a windy-cool overnight low of 49°, daybreak brought dark skies and more windy-cool air…with sunshine finally appearing during the early afternoon, and a brief daytime high of 59° at my South Tampa location.
