Frontal boundary that had escorted the remnants of TS Karen continues to push into north/central & west/central FLA. Broken rain bands have produced pockets of brief torrential rain as the front approaches. By Wednesday, the boundary should eventually clear our location as ridging builds in from the NW drying us out for the upcoming weekend. |

A moisture column, associated w/ an energy source, has been drifting southward for most of the day. PW values & dew pt temps have been on the rise as well in advance of a deepening surface low currently approaching the OH/TN Valleys. The precip associated w/ this column has been on the light side w/ patches of moderate rain streaming in from the SW Gulf. More rain is expected thru out the weekend as the energy source passes to our north. Severe weather outbreak is expected for the OH/TN Valleys on Sunday. |

Ripples of energy slid across our location today w/ columns of moisture tracking from east to west produced light to moderate rain. This energy should move by during the day tomorrow & thus we should see a bit more sun. High Risk threat for severe weather across the OH Valley has everyone nervous. |

Bands of prefrontal precip crossed our location as a cold front advances from the west. After record breaking cold temps from the arctic high that is now well east of us, subtropical moisture returned w/ light to moderate on & off rain. There is some upper-level energy w/ this front which has prompted the SPC to elevate the potential for isolated strong to severe storms tomorrow. However this may be changing as most of the energy should be confined well north of here. |

Small bands of rain continue to flow on shore from the S/SW as we await on yet another Arctic system expected to drive into & then stall across west/central FLA on Wednesday. If the models are correct, most of the cold air will remain north of our area. If not, west/central FLA could experience freezing rain, sleet & even snow. Will have a better look tomorrow as the models will be updated. Could be a very dangerous blast of Arctic air & potentially damaging.

Severe thunderstorms crossed our location this afternoon bringing very heavy rain, damaging winds & a few isolated spin up tornadoes. The SPC elevated the risk threat to "Slight" during the early morning hrs as our atmosphere continued to become more conducive for severe thunderstorms. This prompted a Severe Thunderstorm Watch Box for all of west/central & north/central FLA for most of the afternoon hrs. Minor damage occured thru out most of the west/central zones. This same system is expected to trigger blizzard conditions for most of the mid-Atlantic state into New England by tomorrow. |

A Slight Risk of severe weather prompted the NWS to issure Tornado Watch #32 for all of west/central & SW FLA. The Red Box began to inch its way S/SE during the afternoon w/ a very large warm sector in place across the entire FL peninsula. There were 2 rounds of storms w/ the first line crossing around 11am & the 2nd @ about 4pm. There were additional convective cells that continued to move in a NE direction during the evening hrs w/ rumbles of thunder in the distance. There were scattered reports of wind damage & minor flooding across the area. But all-in-all our location fared well. Lot's of rain thou...& that's a good thing. |

Large area of pre-frontal precip extending east-to-west covers most of west/central FL westward for about 150 miles & then beyond the Doppler radar coverage. A cold boundary is currently located across the FL/GA border & is slowly meandering southward. By daybreak the boundary should be just south of our location w/ the nose of a much cooler & much drier air mass pushing into west/central FL at that time. A robust low is expected to form just off of the Jacksonville coast & rapidly deepen into a nasty Nor'easter bombiong out to a 960mb/28.35 inch storm by Thursday off of the New England coast. Windy & colder for tomorrow & then a quick warm up for the weekend. |

Convection fired along the advancing Gulf breeze during the early afternoon hrs & then pushed further E/NE as our location continues to remain under a deep W/SW flow as we have been most of the summer. Heavier storms took place well east of here while other locations across our location received very little to no precipitation. No changes to this patter are expected for the remainder of next wk based on model consensus. In fact, some drier air aloft will be moving across west/central FL tomorrow lowering our rain chances while a cold front approaches from the NW. |

The tropical wave is expected to move westward into the Gulf waters late Friday night/early Saturday keeping our atmosphere very moist & unstable (PWAT values ranging from 2.0/2.30"). A stationary boundary that has been draped across the FL/GA border will move very slowly northward tomorrow & then will be pushed back late Saturday/early Sunday keeping our rainy season intact.
