Monitoring A Interesting Florida Thunderstorm

Florida Key West RadarWhile I work on the servers early this afternoon, I have been monitoring one little compact cell on radar the last few hours. This storm has had my attention as it looked to be rotating and sustaining itself off the Florida southwest coastline near Everglades City. Here’s a interesting blurb from the National Weather Service in Miami and Key West recently:

INTERESTING TO NOTE THAT WITHOUT MUCH SURFACE BASED INSTABILITY…A SUSTAINED, LEFT- MOVING SUPERCELL HAS EVOLVED ON THE NORTHERN FRINGE OF THIS CLUSTER. KBYX RADAR HAS SHOWN BWERS/TBSS WITH THIS STORM PERIODICALLY AND A DECENT MID-LEVEL MESOCYCLONE.

Key West NWS Office:

OUR RADAR SHOWED A CLUSTER OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IN THE WESTERN STRAITS NEAR DRY TORTUGAS. OUR RADARMAN SAYS THERE MAY BE A SUPERCELL EMBEDDED IN THE CLUSTER. TIME LAPSE SHOWED GOOD CONVERGENCE OUT THERE.

There is currently a Tornado Warning now on this cell as it moved ashore with signs of rotation. I’ll be keeping an eye on this storm and the boundary into the afternoon hours. I’ll keep you posted if I head out later today.
