Now that my busy first part of my weekend is over, I’m ready to enjoy some good thunderstorm action today. Looks like were setting up for a pretty busy afternoon with sea breeze storms July style. A weak 10mph southwest flow at the surface, with expected well developed east coast sea breeze and lake breeze, should lead to widespread pulse thunderstorms, with intense lightning, wet microburst winds, and even some short-lived landspouts / tornadoes where some of these boundaries interact with each other.
…GIVEN DECENT MOISTURE…HIGH CAPE…AND VERY GOOD CONVERGENCE ONCE THE SEA BREEZE FORMS. SOME OF THE STORMS COULD BECOME STRONG…WITH STRONG WIND GUSTS BEING THE PRIMARY THREAT. SOME WARMING OCCURRED IN THE MID LEVELS…SO SMALL HAIL IS LESS OF A POTENTIAL…BUT STILL CANNOT BE RULED OUT. ALSO…WE ARE GOING TO SHOW A SLIGHT RISK OF TORNADOES ACROSS PALM BEACH…BROWARD…AND MIAMI-DADE COUNTIES FOR THIS AFTERNOON…BECAUSE ONCE THE ATLANTIC SEA BREEZE FORMS…SHOULD THE LOW LEVEL SW FLOW AT 10-15 KTS BE MAINTAINED THIS AFTERNOON…THIS WOULD RESULT IN DECENT HELICITY POSSIBLY LEADING TO A BRIEF SMALL TORNADO.
It’s time for me to get back into the weather grind and do some filming today. The lightning storms have been staying active well into the night time hours lately, making for some prime digital lightning photography. I’ll be chasing the eastern counties today from St Lucie southward to Palm Beach and surrounding area’s on the east side of Lake Okeechobee. So, I’m off to pack up and head out….Have a good Sunday!
