Let It Rain, Let It Rain

A excellent heavy rain event underway along much of the Northern Gulf coast states this morning as seen in this radar picture. A low pressure area in the Gulf, along with a upper-level disturbance, and a southeasterly flow returning from the tropics, is creating some decent over running rains and isolated storms. The storm chances will increase later this afternoon along the Florida Panhandle and Big Bend coast, and isolated possible severe storms may move in from the Gulf. There is a small short-lived weak tornado possibility right along the Florida Panhandle coastline.

Lets Keep That Fire Danger Down

Nice to see such a large area of heavy precipitation over portions of the Deep South that need rain. This large shield of rain looks to move into Northern Florida, southern Alabama and Georgia, where they all could desperately use the rain after months of continued drought. This will also help to keep the fire danger down some, and speaking of wildfires, had one not too far from me yesterday here in South-central Florida. Much of the afternoon was smoke filled with the northerly breezes. The small brought back many memories of 2007.

Enjoy the rains if your lucky enough to receive some today in the South.
